Welcome to our new series, “My Dallas Mommy’s Top 10”!  Each week, we’ll highlight a top 10 list of our favorite things!

Top 10 Halloween Costumes

Ghouls and goblins are “so last year.”  This year, it’s a time for movie characters, gaming characters and favorite toys for Halloween costumes and choices.  Here are our favorite, Top 10 Halloween costumes for this year:

Top 10 Halloween Costumes

Costume: Crayola Crayon
Appropriate for: Women
Price Range: around $70, not including shoes
These Crayola Crayon costumes are so cute!  Too often, women tend to be the same thing each year (cat, nurse, cheerleader) and also might dress a little inappropriately.  These dresses aren’t too revealing, plus they are fun and comfortable, and add a great pop of color!

Top 10 Halloween Costumes

Costume: Ghostbusters Dog
Appropriate for: Small to Large Dogs
Price Range: $15
How cute is this!?  With the Ghostbusters popularity back after a couple of decades, let your dog show off his master ghost-busting skills!  It’s lightweight, and will make him or her look pretty cool trotting down the street on Halloween night!

Top 10 Halloween Costumes

Costume: Infant Octopus
Appropriate for: 6 months – 2 years old
Price Range: $42
This costume cracks me up! It comes with a body suit, hood and booties to keep baby’s toes nice and warm.  It’s extra cute because when he or she crawls, the tentacles move, too!  This unique costume is so adorable, and would definitely make for some really cute pictures this Halloween, too!
Honorable mentions: Toddler Owl Costume, Baby & Toddler Peacock Costume, Baby Monster Costume

Costume: MC Hammer
Appropriate for: Men
Price Range: $40
How many late 80’s rappers will you see running around at parties and in the neighborhoods this year?  What a fun way to pay tribute to MC Hammer and his funky, iconic music.  Love the pants in this costume!

Costume: Prestige Ninjago Kai
Appropriate for: Kids
Price Range: $60
Check this costume out!!  Made of polyurethane foam for this cool, blocky shape, this costume is definitely unique.  Even the gloves are detailed and look like a LEGO character’s hands. Get it in green (Lloyd), blue (Jay) or red (Kai) to look just like your kids’ favorite Ninjago character.  This Nexo Knight Clay costume is pretty awesome, too.

What was your favorite Halloween costume when you were a kid?

If you’re a Pokemon hunting family, why not dress up like one this year for Halloween?  With the popularity of Pokemon Go, show off your love of hunting by dressing the entire family up as characters and trainers!  You can piece together great costumes from HERE and HERE.  You could all be trainers, or you could have the kids dress as Pokemon characters you’re trying to catch!  Have a baby?  Dress him or her up as a Pokeball like this!! After trick-or-treating, start searching for Pokemon with the family again.  A family that hunts together, stays together, and this is why we picked the Pokemon family costumes as our #1 choice in the Top 10 Halloween Costumes this year!
