Night and Day

 I love Halloween and dressing up. I have a full Renaissance Festival outfit and have hated not having a Halloween party for the past many years. This year not only did we have a party on Friday  night  with the Jeeping guys but the wine ladies were also having costume party on Saturday night.  I was so excited to have 2 parties. David does not like to dress up.  I am always jealous that his work has a costume contest every year and he does little to nothing. The costumes are optional loophole was not going to work on me since we had two parties to attend.

If I left David to his own costuming he would go with “single guy” and take off his wedding ring  and think he was done.  So, I thought it would be cute to do a couples costume and I can “make” him wear something more.  An altered t-shirt style costume would be fun and easy to make and David friendly.  I have to take baby steps to break him into the costumes idea.  Plus, an altered t-shirt could be our yearly theme. Maybe some time the future we could get more elaborate and move away from just t-shirts. Baby steps.

I chose Night and Day for our costumes this year.  I wanted something unique and not the typical like cave people, salt and pepper, or superheros. Plus, opposites is a theme I can carry on for years and can be both t-shirt simple but also has room to be more elaborate.  

 Old Navy t-shirts, no sew glue, cut outs I made from felt, a hot glue gun for the gem stars and star stickers was all I needed to make the shirts. I will note that I wanted to get a cute skirt and shoes but got sick ended with just jeans. David’s moon was also too far on his side and you can’t see it from the front very well.  Oh well.  They still turned out cute.
