Some ideas I would recreate for my costume:

Dwight. from The Office.
Goodwill shirt and tie. 
Hello my name is, sticker, labeled Dwight. 



Winnie the Pooh, 
A Goodwill red shirt, a couple yellow towels, some blue fabric,
 headband and pipe cleaners to make ears with some of the extra towel fabric.
some sort of Honey prop

Jelly Fish
Clear umbrella, bubble wrap, all white outfit

Toy snakes wrapped through braided updo. 

Sweet stuff

Final dress plus

Here is another pic from the serving up style event. 


Here is the dress I made with the rest of that skirt fabric. super easy shape....

Easy Tube skirt and easy dinner

Easiest tube skirt ever made:
measure waist and hips for width plus width you want at knees.
length is from waist to knees. 
cut and sew in elastic that fits your waist. 
Stretch knit fabric when sewing down waist so it doesn't rip when you put it on. 

                                                                       This is how I would style it for work.

Easiest Tortilla soup recipe ever!!
Add all these ingredients to a pot. med heat till chicken looks good.

Add a tbsp sour cream and some cheese, on top of your individual bowl, if you like. 
We always do.
