Many people who know me are aware that I love Halloween! I enjoy dressing up in costumes and my tradition is now to try to compile a different Halloween outfit for each day of the week just prior to the big day. I like some of the styles from earlier decades, so you may find me dressing work-appropriate, for the most part, but perhaps representing a different decade. Are you preparing for Halloween? Not sure where to shop for a costume? Where to go out for fun? Maybe you're not sure what the excitement is all about. See links below for help in all the above aforementioned areas.

• Goodwill
• Retro Row Shops on 4th Street
  
• Out of the Closet Thrift Store
• Buffalo Exchange
• & more!
