Monday doesn’t matter

Halloween is on a Monday, but retail experts say the day of the week doesn’t matter anymore: Halloween is simply big and getting bigger.

The DIY trend is sure to continue, as even children join the create-a-costume wave. Accessories to customize and personalize are predicted to include more jewelry and wigs than in the past.

And if the experts are right, look for girl power in ninjas, warriors and first responders. Girls aren’t waiting for rescuers: they are doing the rescuing.
