I’d recommend that a guy snag the following costumes if he doesn’t want to drop too much dough this Halloween.
Ghost Face is easily recognizable to horror movie buffs and great for rewearing in years to come.
The clown and zombie costumes are particularly freaky.
Then you have The Walking Dead shirt which is simple and can be accessorized with items such as cheap aviator sunglasses. Plus you can keep your handsome face uncovered with this one.
Please consider the prices in the polyvore set a rough estimate as they’ve been fluctuating this season but they are all still under $20.
Shipping In Time For Halloween If you read this after 5PM ET today and need the costume for this weekend then you are going to have to pay more than $20 total (rush shipping). However these will still be cheaper than more expensive costumes + a rush shipping charge.
I recommend BuyCostumes.com because if you pay for fast shipping you can get that. If you order is over $85 (order your families costumes at the same time to get bang for your buck) you can still get them on Friday with free shipping if you order by 5PM ET today. Other current coupons from BuyCostumes.com include 15% off with code HAUNTED15 or $10 off of orders of $80 or more with code NAT10.
Another option to get your costume fast would be to buy one from Amazon after signing up for a free trial of their Amazon Prime service. It includes 2 day shipping.
If you don’t want to deal with online fast shipping deals then I recommend hitting up your local Kmart (costumes at 50% off) or your local Hot Topic to see if you can snag the Walking Dead shirt above. Many drugstores also sell the Scream masks and knives.
I’ve been a fan of Sofia Vergara for a few years. I used to watch her show The Knights of Prosperity. Plus I read men’s magazines. Her current show, Modern Family, is a huge hit. She’s been wisely using its success to promote many brands including Diet Pepsi. When I first heard about her Kmart collection I was excited to see what she would come up with.
Our local Kmart got the collection this week. They don’t have all of the pieces but I picked out a few that interested me and thought that I’d do a little review. When I first saw the clothes I thought of Dots. They are mainly made of polyester and are similar to the clubbing clothes that all of us buy at Dots. There’s nothing wrong with that of course. It’s just that there isn’t structure involved. It’s like that old saying, “she’s so hot she’d look good in a garbage bag”. So yeah, of course Sofia Vergara looks rockin in her line, she has a great hourglass figure. If you don’t but want to look like you do my suggestion would be adding some shapewear and/or belts to the pieces.
To give you an idea of fit, I am a size 10 with a C cup. I have booty and thighs but I don’t have a noticeable waist. I just quickly grabbed everything in a large.
I’ve overexposed the photos so you can see detail. You can see the actual color of the items at the end of the post. Please excuse my bitch face as I think I’m getting a cold and our Kmart is overheated.
I love dresses so I had to try a couple of those on first. This one isn’t really my style but it’s in much of the advertising, so why not? The fit was fine and the ruching does create some shape. If I were to wear this I’d wear a wide belt around my waist with it. (Yeah, I have VPL, deal with it. I never understood why that was a big deal anyway. She wears panties, how scandalous!)
Ruched Mini-Dress
I sort of like this one now more than when I tried it on. I like the leopard design at the top. While I was taking pictures I felt like the arm holes were a little tight but I was holding my arms at that odd angle. It would probably be fine unless you were doing the chicken dance or something.
Sleeveless Cowl Neck Top
This seemed like it could be a versatile piece. Someone could wear it under a sweater or blazer at work and then without at night. I would definitely go down to a medium if I were going to get it for me though. I was swimming in it.
Asymmetrical Shirred Tunic
Ah, the only one I didn’t have to overexpose the picture on. You can still see the design. This was also too big on me. I’d definitely go down to a medium on it as well. This one seemed more relaxed like you could pair it with jeans.
Shawl Collar Wrap Sweater
Okay, this was my favorite piece! It’s super soft, pretty and flattering. I would refer to it a a Marilyn sweater. I accidentally got this in a medium (it was on the wrong size hanger) and it fit perfectly. If you buy it online they have it in a myriad of colors.
I just swung by the shoes and bags quickly. Our store only had 2 styles of shoes but both were cute. The bags aren’t really my style but looked pretty nice. (The photos are so close because that’s how our Kmart is set up. I was a few inches away.)
So I would say that any woman could probably find a couple of pieces to suit them. Most of the pieces that I tried on were $29.99 and they had them in sizes small through extra large. I would recommend trying them on in person for a good fit.
MY TOP PICKS
You can shop online by going here.
(Unfortunately my store didn’t have any of the skirts or that bustier dress.)
floral dress-Liberty of London for Target, Lower Eastside butterfly cowboy boots-Payless, faux leather brown bomber jacket-Dots, Jaclyn Smith sunhat-Kmart, wide woven belt-Walmart
If you’ve been reading my tweets then you probably know that my mind is already in the Southwest and that I’ve been wanting to wear floral dresses and cowboy boots. They might even become my new uniform. Right now I only have these cowboy boots that I bought a few years ago when the butterfly look was in style. I’ve barely worn them because there never really seems to be an appropriate time. So, uh screw that, I guess that time is now. I paired them with this Liberty of London For Target dress that I picked up on sale last summer. I wanted one as soon I saw the collection in the store but didn’t want to shell out $30 since I wasn’t sure I’d ever get around to wearing it. A couple of weeks later they dropped to $20 but I was hoping for $15 or less so I figured I was out of luck. Then about a month after that I noticed that one was left on the clearance rack and it was $7 so I grabbed that baby up. It’s in my usual size but these run large so even though I hate belts, I tied the waist as tight as possible and slapped one on so I’d have shape.
I wanted to pick up a sunhat last summer but didn’t get around to it. I looked for one at Target recently but came up short so I went out for breakfast hatless. Luckily afterward I stopped at Kmart for some shoe insoles and saw that they had a bunch of hats on sale. I picked up a sunhat and a cowgirl hat. There aren’t any pictures of me in the cowgirl hat because the weather here is so insane that the 1st half of my pictures came out so brightly overexposed that I couldn’t salvage them. Then the sun moved and the rest were a little too dark but luckily I was able to tweak those. I definitely plan on picking up some more cowboy boots for this summer, most will probably be of the ankle bootie variety though.
And yes, that brown bomber jacket is very similar to the black one that I wear ad nauseum. I love that style. I have another in teal.
I spotted this in the bathroom at the restaurant & thought it was neat.
