Why, Poloroid it, of course!
On Nate (as Number 6):
-Black blazer: thrifted, white bias binding trim added by me
-Black mock-turtleneck: accidentally left at home, stranded on Nate's desk chair. This polo is what he happened to be wearing earlier in the day. Oops.
-Khaki Pants: Banana Republic
-Faux Converse All-Stars: Meijer
-Number badge embroidered by me (to finish it off, I backed it on a circle of black felt, then added a pinback)
On Me (as a fictional Number 36, keeping my eye on Number 6):
-Navy ruffled mini-dress: The Fashion Point (Pompei, Italy). I had plans to sew a much more 60s style mini-dress, but of course, the weeks before Halloween didn't go quite as we had planned them. Oh well, this was in my closet and made for a decent back up.
-Navy and grey striped sweater (for warmth under the dress!): American Eagle years and years ago
-Grey felt cape: gift from my brother and sister-in-law a few Christmases ago
-Grey and black striped tights: TJ Maxx
-Red and navy striped socks: vendor at the Kentucky Sheep and Wool Festival
-Red and blue mod silk scarf: thrifted
-Black ruffled flats: Payless
-Number badge embroidered by me (I used strips of felt to make mine a rosette style)
Our Halloween consisted of dinner at The Brown, followed by drinks and live jazz at the Seelbach, people-

Breaking out the vintage travel bar for a party that was *much* more our style than the madness downtown
I hope you all had happy Halloweens!

1 picture is better than none, and this looks great as a poloroid--almost as though you planned it that way! I'm glad you had an excellent time.
Sounds like you guys had fun, and your costumes look great! Looks like they were a lot of fun to put together, anyway, though I've never seen the show :)
I want that vintage bar set BAD! Where did you find that?
Thanks, everyone! Yup, we had a great time. Sometimes you are just having too much fun to take pictures, I guess!
Cherry Tree Lane, that bar belongs to our friends - I found it on a recent thrifting trip, hidden amongst yucky 80s thermoses and old Christmas tins. I was so excited when I realized what it was! Nate and I also have one that we found on Etsy several years ago. I've also seen them on Ebay. Aren't they fantastic?
