Are you dressing up for Halloween this year? Cam + I haven't locked down our plans yet, or even decided if we want to make all the effort into dressing up this year. I spent over $100 on a pre-made costume last year, and regretted it after only spending an hour or two out. If I do end up going out, salvation army will be my first stop for ideas!
