My jellyfish costume. I don’t have better photos. It’s hard to capture underwater sea creatures in their natural habitat.
Halloween is not my favorite costume day. I prefer costume parties, where everyone riffs on a theme—much more fun and creative. But alas, I am not immune to the pressure to dress up as something wild and crazy for All Hallow’s Eve.
This costume was surprisingly simple: glow-in-the-dark wig (thanks goodwill new in package!), neon fishnet tights, and a translucent-ish dress I happen to already own (and it has pockets for glow sticks). Of course, the piece de resistance is the umbrella—and I googled, it’s actually CALLED an umbrella in real jellyfish. I got mine at Target, and attached fat wire ribbon with duct tape. It’s no Heidi Klum/Kim K over-the-top kostume, but it’s a definite easy-to-make, fun winner.
Note: it is a pain in the butt to carry a giant umbrella around a party.
