It's been a while since I talked about clothing options for me at the wedding, and for a reason: I don't have to have all of my decisions made for a long, long time yet. However, this year's Halloween holiday may have altered my thinking on at least one aspect of my outfit. Girl Scout Fiancée cooked up a great idea for a pair of matching costumes for us, and with a little elbow grease on her part (and a fortunately-timed JC Penney sale on red skinny jeans) she helped me put together this pretty awesome costume combo.

That photo is from a party the weekend before Halloween, but, for the first time ever, I also wore my costume to work that day, as we were going to a party at a friend's house that night. During the day, a few of my coworkers commented that they thought I pulled off the bow tie well, and while I'm sure at least some of them were being sarcastic, others weren't. I mentioned this to Girl Scout Fiancée and she agreed. A few days later, I received a few e-mails from her showing off vest-with-no-jacket and bow tie combos that other folks have been wearing in modern weddings. Then, she e-mailed me the piece de resistance.

I love it. I actually, unironically, think it is totally awesome. I have no idea if I can pull it off, if it would look too silly, or if it's even a good idea, but I really kind of want to buy it for my outfit. I can always get the green-and-navy hidden Mickey necktie they sell in the Disney Store as a backup plan, in case it looks bad, but I think it's the perfect combination of whimsy and my personality (melding my love of Disney and my love of comics) that, provided I can pull it off, would really make me look and feel like a million bucks.
