    Default So what are you dressing up as this year?

    I know Halloween is almost two months away, but my planning starts early. I usually wear pretty elaborate costumes and this year, it's the best year ever! I started purchasing my costume pieces yesterday. This is also due to the fact that we're listing the house and may sell it during October.

    So the question begs to be asked:

    What are you dressing up as this year?

    My costume is pretty great. I'm being Lady Gaga.

    A platinum wig, dark sunglasses, lightning bolt on one cheek, military jacket, white bodysuit, torn fishnets and a disco stick. My boots?



    It's gonna be awesome!

    We aren't doing/buying elaborate costumes this year as we have in past years. There are more important things to put the money toward. We will make do with whatever we have around the house. Hubby has a great imagination!

    Yep. I'm taking my youngest out. I wore an outfit that was similar last year and it was really super nice outside. I opted for the military jacket and bodysuit instead of a studded bra and underwear because I never know how the weather's gonna be around here.

    The year before last, I went around outside as a pirate wench. Last year, I was a mafia princess in a short skirt with a garter and halter top. I don't let the weather stop me.

    That sounds absolutely fabulous! My bf and I are trying to figure out what we're going to go as. I sell Partylite candles and one of my friends is having a Halloween/Partylite party..so we have to dress up.

    Anyone have any ideas? We'd like to have a theme going on.
