Concerned about the weather for my Halloween costume (Phoenix, Surprise: buying a home, neighborhood)

I am doing this to honor and impress my cute cousin (yes she is a very cute girl).

Now, my concern is the weather on Halloween. The temperature forecasts have been on a downward trend as Halloween gets closer. Currently, Weather Underground shows the temperatures in Queen Creek to be in the 60s during Trick or Treating hours, which isn't too bad. While I won't be going Trick or Treating myself but will be giving out candy in the fairy costume, I'm just concerned it will be a little too chilly for my fairy outfit consisting of spring/summer clothes. I think the pink interlock polo is a perfect male fairy outfit, and I don't want to change it. I don't have any long pink pants. I hope that the forecasts stabilize and we don't see more of a downward trend in temperatures for the forecasts.

I wonder, what would be your suggestions? I was thinking, while I am sitting outside I can get myself a pink blanket and then when people arrive I can show my full pink fairy costume.

Maybe I'm missing something but handing our candy usually involves being indoor until a child arrives.

Of course, you could put on an undershirt. Or, if it comes to that, we're accustomed to seeing fairies consumed with tights. Go by yourself some pastel pink tights. That should get you into the spirit of things.

Now I don't want my fairy outfit to look too feminine. I want to be a preppy male pink fairy. At least I am wearing pink from head to toe and have a pair of fairy wings and a wand. Also, I think sitting outside will make our house a little more noticed, otherwise some may not know we have candy.

Looking at the forecast again, it looks like the downward temperature trend has reversed itself somewhat, but not enough to be noticeable. Currently I am seeing a forecast temperature of 70 degrees at 5 PM (my typical start time) down to a temperature of 58 degrees at 8 PM (my typical stop time).

You're overthinking this my friend.

One thing is that I hope we get more trick-or-treaters this year than previous years. Since we moved to our neighborhood we never got very many. I wonder if it is because every year in another part of our neighborhood there is a haunted house in a different subdivision near the entrance of our neighborhood that potentially drives away trick or treaters from our subdivision which is more tucked into the neighborhood; I actually thought about once complaining to the HOA about it. However, this year a new subdivision further behind ours has opened, which could mean more potential trick-or-treaters coming from that subdivision. I actually find it surprising that trick-or-treaters avoid our subdivision since one of the other subdivisions is small starter homes. I would assume people would gravitate towards subdivisions that are higher-income.

Add pink knee socks (be a preppy pink male Bermudan fairy) and some sort of pink hat - maybe a knit hat that comes to a point. You could also sub. a long sleeved knit shirt for the polo shirt, or add a pink vest (if you can find one).

I agree with the other posters who've requested that you post a photo. You could block your face if you want to retain privacy online.

For the pink hat I have my pink baseball cap. For my shoes, I was thinking of wearing my plush pink slippers to keep my feet warm.

As someone who wears dresses a lot, I don't get cold too often if my legs are bare as long as my upper body is covered. (like a dress with a cardigan) You might be fine.

I would look for some pink tights or lightweight stretch pants to wear under your shorts, or even some pink knee socks?

A long sleeved shirt could also be worn under the polo

And not one person is concerned about the OP trying to impress his "cute cousin"?

Dude, do what ever you want. Wear what ever you want. Unless your cousin is a little kid and you are doing this for fun, I would maybe find someone else to impress.
