When I saw those
pretty Canadian Mounties during Michael Buble's
ridiculously over-the-top performance at the Olympic Closing Ceremonies, I decided I wanted to be a Mountie for Halloween this year. Although it would have been fun to replicate the red dress-like costume the dancers wore, I found a great red blazer at Value Village which made the rest of the costume pretty easy to sew together.

All in all, I think it turned out quite well!

And guess what! I found an old school $5 bill in the pocket of the blazer when I got home! Win! :D
