Halloween

It’s very close to Halloween now, I know this because our Daughter has a bunch of invitations to various Halloween trick or treat parties, all of which require dressing up.  I don’t mind the dressing up but it does mean we have to buy her a new Halloween outfit which is easier said than done. 

Said Daughter is 10 but thinks she is 18 therefore she dislikes the standard outfits that are currently in the supermarket – if anyone has missed them which is extremely doubtful they are little fairy type outfits just in dark colours – which meant we had to get creative…..we have ended up with the following –

red and black net tutu with plain long-sleeved black top and black leggings, a long black wig with red stripes, a pair of shiny red false eyelashes, a headband with sequined horns, black pumps and long velvet red gloves and red nail varnish, now that we have the outfit and the stress of being reminded on a daily basis by my Daughter to buy her an outfit I can’t wait to see her in it!!

While on this shopping trip to acquire above outfit it was duly noted that Halloween seems to becoming a bigger occasion here in the UK every year and I’ve wondered if this means people will start to spend more on Halloween inspired interior items to decorate their home with, whether they are hosting a party or just for the benefit of trick or treaters.  We have two brick gateposts at the end of our drive and we always put lit pumpkins on each one to signify to the trick or treaters that we are “taking part” in the season, to me it’s a more elegant way of decorating, I can’t stand all the fake cobweb, spider, monster stuff that is around.
