I stopped at Target after work today to see if I could pick up a few things to throw together to make a halloween costume. Target is very convenient for a lot of reasons, but Halloween costumes for grown-ups aren't on that list (they have a couple things if you want to be a sexy witch, and that's it).
I did get a cute little, almost steampunk-sized witch's hat, some witchy/devil make-up, and a couple of dark shroud-like decorations that I hope to turn into something. Now, of course, I only have tonight and tomorrow night to make it all come together (going to an event on Friday at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History) so I should really be psyching myself up, digging out all my crafty things and seeing what I can do. Maybe there's something appropriately seasonal on Netflix that can help me through the process? Because seriously, going to Target and then heating up some dinner took just about every ounce of energy or willpower that I possess.
Update: I put on some cheesy Xena, dragged all my costuming boxes out into the light and figured this puppy out!
This Friday is going to be jeggings, t-shirt and boots with the little witch's hat and a tattered shawl made from the shroud/decoration things, along with some make up and accessories. I'll clearly have something costume-like on, but it will be simple enough to not make me feel entirely self-conscious if there's a lot of non-costuming going on. The hat and shawl will then get re-used next Friday at work for our class halloween party. And then for the main event on Halloween itself, I'm busting out the Jabe costume (sans headpiece and heavy duty make-up). I think it works really well as some sort of Wizardess look, and fits the theme of the party well enough. Even better if I do some ghostly make up to go with it.
Oh, and as a bonus, while I was digging through all my crap, I found my missing purse, with my only tube of lipstick and my rings (including the one I made in high school metal shop which has great sentimental value to me cuz, dude, I made it myself).
