Do you dress up for Halloween at work?

[billyhorrible]

Depending on where I'll be, I usually throw on a tiara or something small.

But this year I was thinking of taking a page from the Disneybounders and wearing clothes that hint at a character without "dressing up."

Like Snow White


Velma


Or Wednesday Addams



Obviously nothing distracting




Anyone else doing something similar? Or going all out?

WE have a Halloween party and a costume contest.. I cant participate because I am in charge but I am more then happy to not have to wear my normal attire into the office.

I don't dress up in the least because we just don't do that in my office (small company, it's not conservative in terms of formality of dress, because there's a lot of business casual/jeans even, but it's conservative in dressing more traditionally, if that makes sense). The idea of hinting at a character is super cute though, I'd totally do it if I were more motivated.

I haven't been working for a few years now, but my favourite work costume was when I dressed up as my shop foreman. I even scored one of his work shirts with his personalized name badges from his wife 😄

I have a Halloween shirt I typically wore to work. One year we dressed up and I had a crazy wig, shiny tunic, and pink eyelashes. My students said I was lady Gaga or Katy perry lol.

Cute idea but I don't have anything easy like that to hint at a costume without going out to buy something.

I'm leaning toward Wednesday Addams for that reason. I've got a white button down, black sweater, and black skirt.

I was Daphne one year for Halloween, but I don't think I still have the purple shirt and purple skirt I wore.

When I was still working full time, our whole therapy department would pick a theme each year and all 20+ of us would dress up together.

The best was when we were all nuns...

I work in a small office (about 20 people). We talk about it every year. I usually bring a pair of ears or something with me. That way if others are dressed up, I can partake, but also not risk being the only one.

I was talking to DH about it last night and he wants in. He's going to put on a superman tee under his shirt and go as Clark Kent.

Since I'm starting my new job on halloween, it's probably not a wise idea to show up in costume.

Our Halloween parade (public library) was yesterday! Here's my last minute steampunk costume, because my actual costume is Wendy from Peter Pan and I couldn't work up the nerve to wear a nightgown to work.

No one at work dresses up, but I 100% would if other people did. I was thinking about wearing my Dionne costume since it's just normal clothes but I'm afraid the skirt is too short. The Captain Hook outfit I'm wearing this weekend is also definitely business casual, but it will probably be dirty still since I'm wearing it on Saturday.

Everyone at my school dresses up. The kids are allowed to wear their costumes all day. I'm going as Anna and my two assistants are going as Elsa and Olaf.

Very cute bookninja!

billyhorrible I love love the Snow White hint-of-a-costume costume.. and I love that idea for work!

Ive always dressed up for Halloween almost any job Ive had, was one of my fav days of the year while teaching preschool! Different level of costume depending on the job of course.

Im not working right now, but I'll dress up with Jazz this year. We're going real simple compared to my costumes of the past. Strawberry (her) and Banana (me).. I'm irrationally excited about this!

[veggiemo]

billyhorrible, so did you dress up? Pictures??

Very cute bookninja! And I just heard this term "steampunk" for the first time this weekend, and now here. Do I live under a rock?

[billyhorrible]

I did! No one has said anything so far. I'm betting DH gets more of a response.

Not completely, no. I had to explain it to quite a few people. It was fun!

Went to the break room to grab my lunch and ran into another attorney whose dressed up! She's Rosie the Riveter in white pants, blue button down, and a bandana as a headband.
