These are just four of the costumes that were on our short-list this year. Fine art?! Love that! Although I was set on being the Mona Lisa and I am still determined to pull that one off in the future. Downton Abbey was a clear choice, but Matthew and Mary’s (especially Mary’s) wardrobe is hard to come by on a dime or even piece together. Also, Chris wasn’t convinced people would know who we were. The same was true in the case of June Carter and Johnny Cash–we probably couldn’t have pulled it off as good as Reese and Joaquin, especially once I started singing. Because singing would kind of have to go hand in hand with that costume. Frankenstein and his bride were the first costumes we were set on this year, but somehow–the one we ended up on–trumped it all.
Your turn. Have you decided? What were you last year? I noticed I tend to choose costumes that would work easily with my hair color. Which means, I’ll probably never be a traditional Alice in Wonderland, but Hansel and Gretel are fair game.
We are going to be Cleopatra and Marc Antony this year…last year we were the wicked witch and a flying monkey!!
All of those ideas are fab! My favorite costume was the year I was Grace Kelly in Rear Window. I found something VERY similar to the black and white dress she wears at GoodWill. This year I’m thinking something funny for my hubby and I. LMFAO anyone?
I don’t know that we’re doing anything this year, which is soo sad. I had our costumes all picked out, but all the parties are the Saturday before (the 27th) and we’re going to a wedding that Friday night. Not that we couldn’t go to parties, but then that’s more time for the dog to be in the kennel (and more $$). Plus my husband is being a real downer about going to parties this year. :(
Nice!
For sure!
