Halloween costume ideas for 35-45 yo moms

[Anonymous]

Last year I bought several yards of animal print fleece fabric. I wrapped it around, threw one corner over my shoulder, pinned it into place, and then with some quick stitches and jagged cutting, I had a cave-woman outfit. Ugg slipper-boots. I found some large plastic bones from a halloween decoration - i stuck one in the garment as a toggle-closure and stuck the other one in my bun - a la Wilma Flintstone. Very fun. Leggings, tee shirt if it's cold out.

DH wears one of my blousy tops tucked in, rolls up his pants to show his (everyday) boots, and ties a scarf on his head for an easy/comfortable pirate. Yes I absconded with DC's oversized plastic sword from a previous costume to go with.

I'm all about comfort and modesty and fun.

I feel sad for women who have to wear make up to be pretty. I can't imagine what that's like

This year they grab back.

You know, you have given me a good idea here. We have an adults only birthday/Halloween bash and I may go as a cat and have DH do as Donald Trump trying

to grab me all night....

That would be funny

Just be prepared. Every other Trump will do the same.

I'm going as The Girl on the Train. I'm already a white woman with brown hair, so I'm just going to get super drunk.

I don't have great skin, but I bet that when I put on makeup I look better than you.

I think we have a winner!

Agree that people are being unnecessary MEAN.

For the 40-something mom OP (who probably does NOT want to be a sexy kitten, because at our age, it's just a cougar, right?).... you can do a LOT with a colored T-shirt and stick on felt. Playing cards (go as a pair with husband or full house if you have enough kids); jack o' lantern; lady bug (add antennae); the night sky. It will cost you less than $10 at the craft store for the T and the felt, and you can do the whole thing while watching GOT or whatever your pleasure is.

Or you can go old school Belushi and wear a toga.

The girl on the train idea is funny!

I saw a picture of someone dressed up as Winona Ryder in Stranger Things. I'll try to link it up - it was genius!

My skin is flawless. I pity you.

Excellent satire of an ultra-basic DCUMer. Well done, PP.

Went to a fun party last year. Everyone brought costumes in a price of luggage. When you arrived tagged the luggage and gave everyone a number. they mixed up all the numbers and ou had to match your number to the luggage tag and wear whatever costume was inside. It was pretty funny what people ended up with.

Found my costume. Taser me. I dare you.

Youre going as a red children's size 12 dress from Target? Huh.

This is aging you badly. Seriously, they aren't cool or hip. Don't do it.
