Corey and I started our morning today by going to VV looking for costume ideas and when that failed we continued on to the malls. Hillside had a few good ideas, but I don't really feel like spending $90 on a costume that I have a good chance of making or piecing together from my own wardrobe and maybe a few other items from a second hand store. So far, here are my DIY ideas:
The Black Canary (I'd probably style it after the older costumes rather than the newest versions):

A Robin. There is a running joke at Corey's house that because my name is Robyn, I make nests, eat birdseed and lay eggs...so I had thought of dressing up as my namesake. This should be easy, as all I would need would be a red dress (check) with brown cardigan or something over top, brown leggings (check) and then a mask or fun makeup with feathers in my hair:
Or perhaps, another comic book hero, the female version of Robin? Corey and I joked it would be funny if he dressed up as Batman and I as his sidekick...A less DIY idea but it could work:

'Babe Lincoln', which would involve buying a beard, top hat, tie and then dressing up in a miniskirt with a vest and long coat....easy enough and kinda funny:
