I am thinking about participating in our YMCA's Halloween Fun Run, and they like participants to wear costumes.  I am not a costume person and that has always kept me from doing this 5K.

Does anyone have suggestions that would be festive but subdued, if that makes sense?  I am thinking black leggings and maybe a theme top, even though we do get a tee shirt.

Any suggestions are appreciated.  I do not believe that I can wear a witch hat, but I might think about it.  Thanks!

@SXMGirl - How about going as Mrs. Incredible (Elastigirl) from The Incredibles.  Fairly easy costume, you're a super hero, and "no capes."  Whatever costume you choose, have fun!

Go to Pinterest. The choices are endless. Some so easy and cute also.

@SXMGirl  Good for you!  Any costume you choose will be wonderful, I'm sure!  After reading your thoughts about the black leggings and theme top, I immediately thought of a 1980's theme.  We had an '80's day last year at school where the teachers dressed up.  I found some fairly inexpensive items at Party City.  Good luck on the costume and the run!

@IlliniGirl88, @Katcat1, @Pandalady, @Nancy Drew.  Thanks for your great suggestions.  I will be checking out Pinterest.  For some reason, I never think of that until I get an e-mail from them.   Maybe I will be Mrs. Incredible, because it will be incredible if I finish.
