I wear Tshirts with stuff like pumpkins, cats, skulls, etc. Cannot get hubby to wear them except on weekends. My poor kid is young enough that I make her wear Halloween shirts all October, too, LOL. Plus I have a Halloween purse that lots of other women will comment on. Still pretty warm around here in Oct, so unfortunately I cannot wear anything heavier than a Tshirt.
Heck, I've started wearing them already. I don't know why, but I'm starting early this year. I've got a bunch of Halloween T-shirts. I only wear them one month out of the year, so they stay in really good shape. So if not now, when?
Oh, and no on the ugly sweater party. My friends don't to dress up events well. I wish they would.
I have several Halloween t-shirts, and if I'm not wearing one of those, I try to wear black, orange or, at least, some type of Halloween accessory, like Halloween scarves, spider rings, oh, and my bat necklace that I wear almost every day in October...this year, Saki sent me an owl necklace she made, so I will be adding that in to the line up, as well!
They're actually part of my regular wardrobe. Great pumpkin shirts, scarecrows shirts, happy halloween shirts, Grateful dead halloween shirts, zombie pumpkins shirts are all in regular rotation year round.
Since I wear a uniform at work, I can't wear Halloween shirts there, but I have a bunch of Halloween earrings that I've collected over the years - enough where pairs won't repeat for the month of october - so I wear those to work.
I don't know, it depends on what you are considering to be purely Halloweeny?
I have my Sourpuss tops that probably count, and one of my purses with eyeballs and severed hands and such I carry on and off year around. I make hair accessories for a living, particularly morbid ones with hands and skulls, always wearing those. Knee high socks with blood dripping or I <3 zombies on the side? Yup and yup. Skeleton and spider earrings, yup. Honestly I love morbid, weird and kitschy stuff, and am a psychobilly, so I think I might dress for Halloween year around and the only time people *don't* notice is October. lol
I wear Halloween-type t-shirts year round in the mix; skulls, bats & creepy genre (you stab 'em, we slab 'em)...also, scarves, shoes, hats & jewelry.
Actual Halloween t-shirts get added in during October.
I have some that I might wear during construction/setup, but as far as everyday stuff goes...nope, that's usually a Husker shirt. I don't even by the ones the Haunt Group sells because I wouldn't wear them. ALthough the Husker Blackshirt tees I have have skull n bones on them
I've got a few pairs of those super adorable walmart fleece pajama bottoms that they sell at Halloween, I wear those on the cooler days. Would on warm days as well but I have a skin thing that if my legs get super hot in scratchy fabrics (between all the cat hair my cat sheds and the little fuzz balls that bunch up on fleece type fabrics after a couple washings, those things get scratchy fast), I get really itchy and can't stand wearing them anymore so I end up running around without pants on for several hours just to give my legs a break. I would do the shirts, but I have the same problem with my torso, most shirts are incredibly itchy, so I just don't buy new t-shirts very often.
So I'm preeettty sure people should post pics of all their Halloween clothes! I'll do it when I get back from vacay next week. If the thread is still alive enough for me to find it.
If by theme clothes, you mean costumes, then yes. Yes I do. October's my costume month (although I try to celebrate just about every other holiday in costume as well). During the rest of the year, skulls are a major theme in my everyday wear, so I guess you could say I'm almost always dressed for Halloween in some way.
My shirts, most are links because Woot! won't let me link pics. Most are still available too. I'm sure they'll have more to come this October. They call it Hallowoot!
My Count Gore shirt (this is not me in the pic though I share her hair color). I also have an older version of a Count Gore shirt too.
My favourite though, that is saved for Halloween sometimes, is Castle Freak. It's an old Full Moon movie & the shirt was a freebie I got back in my vid store clerkin' days. It has the Full Moon logo on the front left side & this glorious creature on the back:
Once October rolls around I tend to lean more to a more gothic inspired style. Although this year I'm nearing my third trimester with baby #3 so I'll have to re-invest in some spooky cute clothes lol. I love Halloween themed jewelry and accessories too,It's an easy way to make any outfit festive!
My 1yr and 3yr boys also get to play a lot of dressup, I get them each a few costumes from the thrift shop and dress up all cute and cuddly or spooky and play around the house.
I also have a ton of holiday pins & earrings in general, from Halloween to Christmas I'm good on the jewelry but always looking for cool stuff. I bought a pair of skeleton earrings at Walmart a couple of years ago & they're my faves next to some GID ghosts I have.
