Halloween has always been a huge deal for me. I"m huge on costumes and will go to Goodwill to piece together a unique costume. Not a big fan of already made costumes.

This year is my first Halloween on my own, and I decorated amazingly. I've got lots of real pumpkins and tin ghosts staked to the ground and a twirling ghost hanging on a hook. I've got skeleton spiders and a scarecrow and skeleton garland. Inside I have a few more decorations in the windowsill and around the house.

This year is also the first year I am doing a partnered costume with none other than my cat Elwood. We are going to be Jake and Elwood Blues of the Blues Brothers. I got him a collar with a tie and a hat, and I've got a full costume to match. At work, though, I'll be a cute witch because one, it has to be work appropriate--not too scary or too sexy, and I don't want to be the Blues Brothers and have to explain my costume to everyone. My witch costume is fun and inviting which is really important at my work. I work in healthcare so it's gotta be fun and family friendly. With my witch costume, I have a long, red witch dress, a red witch's hat, and a teal-green wig.

I've always been so into Halloween and the whole fall season. My best outfits are my fall outfits, and I love pumpkin everything, even in my drinks.
