This was the race costume I made and wore for the Wicked 10K last year.
It was a ghost outfit.Last year one of our readers suggested that after I wore it for the race that I could dye It purple and use it as the Kool aid man for the next year! Although that was a clever suggestion, I think I'll pass on that idea for now.
Instead, I have two ideas brewing for the TOT 10 miler.
I knew I wanted to wear my black argyle and hearts running skirt from runninskirts.com and thought maybe I would go with a queen of hearts type theme,but then my idea started to fade and I didnt know what to do with it, so this happened.
I just sewed on a Mickey Head and outlined it in that glow in the dark fabric paint I told you about yesterday! I actually like how it looks in the dark. I'm thinking about adding even more paint to the mickey head!
My second idea involves dressing as a pumpkin/jack-o-lantern. I have an orange running skirt and an orange tank top. The problem with this outfit is that the orange top that matches the skirt exactly is not tech material.It is spandex and polyester.I do have another orange top but it is bright orange and does not match the skirt, but it is moisture wicking tech material. See below.
Do you think it matters if the top and bottom are a few shades off? Also, this orange skirt is not from Runningskirts.com and does not have pockets in it. I'll be wearing my running belt anyway so not sure how big of a deal that is going to be.
Do you think I should wear the black glow in the dark Mickey outfit for the 10 miler and save the pumpkin costume for another non-Disney fall race?
I'm pretty set on my 5k race day outfit but I suppose I should put that outfit together and see if it looks as good in person as it has looked in my mind the past 4 months!
What are your thoughts? Are you dressing up for any fall races? ~M
