Halloween is just around the corner and if you don’t have a costume idea yet you’re going to regret it. What’s so great about Halloween is that you have an excuse to be creative and show another side of yourself. Often times that means dressing up as a sexier version of some more traditional character (witch, nurse, baseball player). But our favorite costumes are those that are more personalized- a person you look up to or admire or a scary character from your favorite horror movie. Even a character from a book can be a great costume- if people don’t understand right away they’ll be sure to ask you about it and then you find yourself having a conversation with someone you’ve never met before. It’s really a win-win.
Because of our roots as a vintage clothing store we were always a favorite choice when it came time to find a costume- from top hats to panty hoes, wigs, Elvis glasses, flapper skirts and capes of all sizes. While we have changed over the years to grow into a more far reaching but still unique new clothing store, our Halloween tradition continues to be a big part of who we are. In fact, the week leading up to Halloween all our employees are encouraged to dress up in a different costume every day!
Some of my past favorite costumes from the Common Era collection include Amy’s take on the “Queen of Hearts” from Alice in Wonderland and Katie’s take on “Natasha and Boris” from Rocky and Bullwinkle. So if you’ve been invited to a party and don’t have a thing to wear, come on down to Common Era where our creative staff will help you pick out the right costume for your event, whether it’s traditional, racy or something no one has even seen before. Happy Halloween from Common Era!
