This year I wanted to do Halloween up right! As an adult, every Halloween I see women who use Halloween as an excuse to dress up sexy! I, unfortunately, have never been one of these women. I always have to pass by the Pretty Kitty, Slutty Snow White and Sinderella outfits because I know they won’t be in my size. If they do have 2X or 3X I’d never be comfortable wearing it in public. And then I’d be one of those girls. Now let’s be serious. I’m not one of THOSE women who use Halloween as an excuse to practically be naked in public. *ahem…..you yeah Princess Leah in the Gold Bikini I’m talking to you! BTW she didn’t even have the traditional hair. Just saying. I love you Mean Girls, but I’m pretty sure I did just say something about it. Sorry!
I just wanted to feel cute and buy a regular costume in a regular size and go out with my husband. We went to basically my favorite place, Howl at the Moon. I go there with my girlfriends but never with him and I was super excited! It’s a dueling piano bar in Downtown Denver where there are live musicians all night. The best part of it is that you can be part of the audience, because it’s basically a concert every night where you can request them to play ANY song ever. OR you can be part of the show and out on the dance floor. There are like zones of participation. So I knew either way he’d be comfortable.
We ended up at the just the right store, which shall remain nameless, which had just the right sale ON Halloween. They had regular size costumes that were flirty but still suitable for public. I bought three. I decided to wear the most modest one of course because I’m just not confident about everything I got going on yet. More on that later………
So I decided to go with a sweater dress ensemble as a Sock Monkey that I found at said store. If the photographer had told me, I would have pulled it down further but……hindsight and all that.
For once I got a super cute costume that was a Medium (!?) at a regular store for a killer price and wore it out with with my husband wear we danced the night away and had an awesome time. Best. Halloween. Ever!
PS – For those wondering, I did get Sexy Snowhite but I won’t be posting a picture of it ANY time soon or wearing it in public. My confidence is high but I’m still a married woman! Oh and BTW: It was $5.
