What's in Your Closet? Halloween Edition
Spooky season is upon us, and we at The Edge are certainly ready for endless candy, costume changes, and pumpkins surrounding us all.

Halloween is the one day of celebration where you can transform into your favorite celebrity, animal, or even place, and waltz around town in your new identity. While thinking of a costume is certainly easy, finding all of the necessary accessories can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.
