Since costumes are way too expensive. I mean you pay $40 for a costume made of polyester and it's less durable than real clothes you can get for $40. Especially women's outfits they are so skimpy now and they cost more!? I don't get it. I have to confess I haven't gotten a Halloween costume in over 10 years. Personally I have a hard time finding costumes I like. I feel they are the same boring ones every year. Plus it's hard to be creative with a boring old mass produced costume. So I've been getting accessories for years now. They are fun and not as expensive as a whole costume. I know you can make some accessories yourself, but sometimes it's just better to leave it to the companies who make them because some items are way too complicated to make and you could just alter most of the store bought items.

I splurged on 2 items this year. The 1st are the pink and gold fairy wings. Those are sort of a replacement for some white and silver ones I might or might not have. They are somewhere in the great abyss of the garage. I haven't seen them for years. I only paid 99 cents for those and those are the good ones that have wire. Usually for around 99 cents you can get those cheap wings that are made of organza and tulle. These came with a cheap little wand. I guess to signify they are fairy wings. I don't really care about the wand, but it's a nice little extra. When I took them out of the package they were a little dirty, but I don't mind I can just cover the dirty spots with some glitter. I could use glitter glue or loose glitter. Sorry there are no pictures I didn't have time.

I also got some skeleton gloves for $1.99. They are a little big for my really small hands, but that just makes them look creepier. The bones are made of puffy screen print. I was thinking I could really build a costume around these. But I won't be using them this year.




I'm already thinking about my costume for next year. I'm thinking about being Meg from Family Guy. I just need to get some glasses, a pink hat and a pink shirt.
