This year's costumes for the annual trunk or treat really began about a year and half ago when my husband and I saw movie props from Guardians of the Galaxy at a pop culture museum in Seattle. We thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to dress as Star Lord and Gomora?" The thought hung around awhile, but then left when everyday life kept me occupied with more important things.
Then one day I made a quick stop at Goodwill. I was about to leave when the thought occurred to me to check the men's leather coats on the really off chance that there would be a red leather jacket in my husband's size. I mean, what would be the odds? Apparently, pretty good! There just happened to be said jacket...half price...and senior discount! All in all, a very thrifty $9.00!
