The Spirit Halloween store in my town still hasn't opened! It's already been set up, but the city is lagging behind on the permits. It looks like it might not be open very long, if it does open at all.
Since I'd made plans to go to the nearest town with a Spirit store, I decided to look at that one. And I got some stuff at that one. I feel weird not being able to go to one in my town, but what can I do till this problem with the city is resolved--if it ever is done in time.
I'd been thinking about and have now decided on the 1980s for this year. At the store, I saw the following:
I got the net shirt and the necklace, along with the earrings on the right and the hair scrunchies set. These items don't seem to be found much at thrift stores, so I know I'd have get them from the Spirit store. And not knowing when I'll be back to this one out of town, I knew it had to act fast. I wasn't sure what else to get. I saw some bright-colored leg warmers but passed on those for the time being. Still unsure what else I'll be adding. And I'm wondering if leg warmers are easily found at thrift stores. The Goodwill in the town nearby me has a bigger selection than the one in my town, but there wasn't time to go there. I wanted to beat the Sunday traffic as I headed back. I'll have to see what I can find locally or even on Amazon.
Even though I'd already decided on a disguise, I just had to look around the store to see what else was there. Here are some shots (sorry for the pictures being a bit blurry!). I just had to get the SpongeBob ones.

I blush to admit that I had a net shirt in the 80s. It was red.
Of all the places to be held up in permits... Doesn't the city know that November is way too late for that store to open? Leg warmers are pretty easy to knit, although, I've never done so. Kind of funny for me to have never attempted them, but then again, I didn't learn to knit until about 1987, and the leg warmer fad was over by then.
I have never heard of a Spirit store before, but looked them up and there are some in my area. I bet the people who want to open the store in your town are upset. This is their prime selling time.
I am glad you finally got to a Spirit. Sounds like your local one is a bust.
