I had to improvise.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

A name tag on a blazer isn’t enough. I had to go deeper.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

“Horton” is a hat, and his fluff that he heard the Whos on is a cat toy on a q-tip. Yes, Horton was blue or gray depending on which version you’re looking at, but I worked with what I had.

Horror movie survivor is always a good go-to when it’s last minute. Undercover cop is also appropriate. With that blazer, though, Volvo owner would have been a solid choice.

Somehow I have a similar blazer in a grey/blue pattern. Yet I don’t own a Volvo.

An undercover cop with fake gun would be a very bad idea given that I work on a military base.

Or Jim Rockford, just add brown loafers.

You should own a Volvo.

Good call on not doing that.

Who says I won’t already be wearing brown loafers? Most of my coworkers are in their 20’s though. Rockford would be lost on them.

I’m sure I’ll eventually own a Volvo or a Saab. The outfit would work for both, and I often check Craigslist for station wagons.

My boss announced it on his way out the door. All I have is a Hogwarts uniform.

I would make a “Nimbus 3001” tag and hang it on a swifter to carry around with me.

“I said you had to wear a costume today!”

I am wearing a costume.

“Oh really. And what is it?”

I dressed up as someone who cares!

My child has a Ravenclaw uniform and I bought her the theme  tie to go with it. It’s adorable.

One of the small benefits of working at an old stodgy company is no Halloween costume - I’m not allowed to wear jeans and everyday is slacks and a collared shirt. It was only about 5 years ago that they dropped the jacket requirement.

Sounds like a good day to call out sick. I wouldn't wear a costume, but to be fair I'm not a fan of Halloween.

I was going to just wear a kilt and go as guy that found an excuse to wear a kilt to work. Unfortunately we’ve been working out of a hotel for almost three months waiting for the lease for the military base to be signed so we can order a trailer.

Almost three months of free hotel breakfast turned me into the guy that’s too fat to put on any of his kilts.

I keep saying I’m going to just buy a whip so I can just wear my regular clothes and only need to add a hat and the whip to be Indiana Jones.
