Halloween costumes cost money... UPDATED

...but they don't have to cost much! After much soul-searching, I've decided to go as a can of San Marzano tomatoes. These have been on sale for forever now at Whole Foods such that we now have a lifetime supply, so in terms of costume-making materials, their easily-removable labels came to mind. Three of them are to be a belt around a silver dress, worn over silver leggings - together these will form 'the can'. Red keds and red nails will, if I'm feeling energetic, complete the look.

Photos forthcoming, assuming this does not look too ridiculous.

Silver-colored clothing is just a good costume investment. I had a silver leotard and skirt in college that was the base for my costume every year. Sadly, they got lost in the move to Northern Virginia.

He was supposed to be, but for once we didn't have an empty container of those at the ready.
