Where:

HALLOWEEN!

Why:

Alright, this outfit requires A LOT of explanation. So here goes:

First off, the boyfriend has profusely asked not to be featured on the blog, but we took a lot of great pictures together that I wanted to use.

Hence his face is replaced with that of Frankenstein… (no, there is not a physical resemblance between the two, I’m just trying to respect his wishes).

Second, the outfit was originally intended for SUNDAY November 1st for the big game (Packers vs Vikings). If you don’t know the deal with the rivalry, you can read about it here.

My boyfriend is from Green Bay and his family was so generous as to send me a shirt and necklaces to help show my Wisconsin pride for the game.

Well on Friday, I learned that I had to work on Sunday.

So I was a little bummed, thinking I was going to miss the game and the opportunity to dress up.

Then on Saturday, over dinner (literally an hour before we went out), I looked at Jake and said… we should just wear the Packers gear tonight! And so I invented the best last-minute Halloween costumes ever.

I threw on a cardigan to keep warm, and a bow to decorate my hair. Jake threw on his cheese head, and we were ready to party.

I’m killing so many proverbial birds with this one outfit; I support the Packers, I rock all the awesome fan gear (thank you!), and we had a great “couples” Halloween costume that got hoots and hollers on the street from fans of both teams.

I declare that a win, if I do say so myself.

Long story short, I didn’t have to work too late on Sunday and I was able to meet up with Jake and a friend of his from High School at Kettle of Fish for the second half of the game. The Packers lost, but we still had fun… and met a ton of friendly Wisconsinites!
