Last Minute Halloween Shopping

If you’re anything like me, every year you swear up and down that you’ll be ready with a fantastic Halloween costume weeks in advance, only to wind up frantically searching for something–ANYTHING–to wear the day of. Mmhmm, I see you. I’m a big proponent of DIY costumes, thanks to the fabulous things my mom whipped up for me when I was a kid–none of that fake plastic-y stuff for me, no ma’am! Thanks to those...
