While there are happy accidents, most creations start with an idea and proceed to a plan. Here are some ideas for this year's Halloween costume. Mostly I'm offering parts of costumes for you to mix-and-match as you choose. My idea of a cool costume is a black unitard (or tights and leotard) with some cover-up for eye-appeal 'correction' and an outrageous hat. Maybe add an angel wing shrug ($26.80) depending on the theme of the outfit.
At weebly.com there are frou frou tutus--ready-made, custom-made, and kits. Prices average from 15 to 30 dollars.

My best find of the day, though, is Savers Thrift Stores, a network of thrift shops. There's a store locator (Anchorage has, count 'em, 3 stores listed!) and some really good costume ideas.
