My mom says that this year, I’m too old for trick-or-treating; however, I’m still going to wear a costume to hand out candy. What I thought of was either Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, or Athena or another figure of Greek mythology, like Pandora.

I thought that with the Alice costume, when the kids came to the door, I could be all, "Oh, my! A tiger, a fairy and a ghoul! Don’t tell me I’m back in Wonderland!", or for Dorothy, “Don’t tell me I’m back in Oz!”, but I already have the rudimentary "costume" for Athena, a cream colored sheet I could turn into a toga-like thing.

However, being Alice would mean having to buy nearly a whole costume, the blonde wig (I’m brunette), the blue dress, the white pinafore, and the white stockings/tights. Dorothy would probably be more work, though, because I’d have to buy (or find) the blue checkered dress, the white blouse, a long brunette wig (I have pretty short hair), the ribbons, and the red ruby slippers. However, I do have a terrier that would be pretty good for Toto! Additionally, the savings I’d get by being Athena might be offset by fewer kids knowing who I am. I have such a big problem here. *sigh*

So, you do the problem-solving for me: Alice, Dorothy or Athena for Halloween?
Come on people! I’ll give you 10 points if you give me stores that have good( and cheap!) costumes/costume pieces along with what you think I should be. I know you want the ten points, come and take them!
