Halloween has got to be one of my all time favorite holidays. The orange, purple, & black decor, the CHOCOLATE, the haunted houses, scary movies, the CHOCOLATE, and of course, the excuse to dress up in costume all day and not have to worry about someone calling the psych ward. Unfortunately for me, I have a training function off island during Halloween this year, so no coordinating costumes for me and the Little Guy *tear*. With that bit of bad news, I was determined to celebrate Halloween in my usual fashion. I am going to be in Waikiki after all, the mecca of party cities (here in Hawaii, anyway), and I knew that I would be in great company. My only problem...what to wear? Since I'm planning to take only a carry-on (God help me!) I needed a costume that was compact and didn't require a whole bunch of accessories. Of course my instinct was to go as a Honeybadger (insert Beavis & Butthead laugh here), but didn't want to be mistaken as a skunk. Not wanting to be one of the many Lady Gaga or Nicki Minaj impersonators, I decided on the following:
Black & white polka dot skirt=$0.50 garage sale
Red T-shirt sale rack at K-mart=$2.50
Black tie belt=free from clothing stash
Little Guy posing redneck chic complete with popsicle=priceless
With this awesome color combo and my lack of packing space I thought that a Veronica Lodge costume would be perfect.

Happy Halloween Everyone!
