Let’s be honest. A lot of women Halloween take it as an excuse to dress somewhat more… shall we say risky? Don’t get me wrong, I was every bit as guilty of this in my younger days. Halloween is a great time to cut loose and act slightly out of character. However, Halloween isn’t an excuse to be on bad behavior overboard. There’s nothing wrong with a little fun, but you shouldn’t lose your head. Save that for sleepy hollow. With this in mind, here are some times you might consider dressing a little more extravagantly.

• An adult only work party.

Usually you have to be so conservative at work it might be a little fun to show off your wild side. Show a little leg and have fun. But don’t take it too far; keep it in good fun and conscious.

• A costume competition.

There are two directions to go with a costume competition. One (which is the direction I typically go), you dress up in a stellar Halloween costume, blowing the crowd away with your sensational recreation or ingenuity. Two, you strut your stuff. Typically option one wins it, but that doesn’t make option two any less fun. Again, respectability is the name of the game. Have fun but don’t overdo it.

• You’ve recently lost weight or gotten into better shape.

This is a great reason to show a little more leg. After all that hard work you deserve to show it off a little!

No matter what route or reason, whether it’s a sailor costume, a schoolgirl getup, or cheering on the team, make sure to stay safe and sane. Enjoy responsibly and have a happy Halloween!
