Spooky Decor – It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!!!!!

Posted on September 25, 2026 by Kimapult

To celebrate my favorite time of year, I wanted to share my home decor with you! A lot, and I mean a lot, of pieces I have had for years and years, so finding them will be tough. But, I did make a small Amazon list for shopping. I also highly recommend, Walmart, Target, Five Below and Dollar Tree.

Shop the Amazon list here

Other recommendations I have to save a little cash, Walmart’s 3 wick candles are just as nice and smell as good and Bath and Body Works for 1/4 of the price, but get the big decorative ones that are 5 bucks (the small 3 dollar ones, while 3 wicked, don’t work as well).

Here’s a great example

Check Dollar Tree and Five Below BEFORE going to Michaels!

Target and Walmart’s decor prices are really reasonable!

Also, I don’t know this personally, but I saw online that Aldi has a lot of good Pottery Barn dupes.

Happy Hunting, ghouls!

Notes on Gender References: Let me start with clothes have no gender! However, sometimes I do need to make a gender reference in regards to a piece. I promise the only reason I say, "ladies' boots" or "men's pants" is to let you make note of what department I found them and for sizing. This tends to happen mostly with shoes. You'll be shopping on a site and the sizing listed will be men's for a pair of boots. I own several "men's" pieces in my closet because it does not matter. What does matter is that you guys get the size you need and not an unpleasant surprise when a piece arrives and the sizing is all wrong for your body. This site is for all humans, and I want you to feel welcome. If there is ever anything that I write that gives you pause, please let me know so I can fix it and do better.

Thanks, Duckies!

Kim Henderson McAndrew is an author and blogger known for her bold, self-proclaimed nerdy style and ability to combine cosplay with everyday fashion. Recently, she has begun to integrate goth and kawaii pieces into her wardrobe. While a lover of the occasional screen-accurate cosplay, Kim used her unique style and love of certain fandoms to create every looks to honor superheroes ‘in plain sight’. Over time, friends and fellow cosplayers started encouraging her to publish a guide to help others learn how to do the same. So, in 2016, she launched InPlainSight.style, an all-ages geek/nerd fashion, mash-up cosplay, bounding and lifestyle blog with an emphasis on body confidence and body positivity. As the blog’s popularity grew, so did the demand for a book. So, she decided to combine the articles her readers felt most useful, put them in one place into a workbook-type format and this year Kim published her first book, In Plain Sight: Using Everyday Cosplay to Express Your Inner Superhero (2020). In Plain Sight offers readers a step-by-step guide to getting started with Cosplay, the various types and styles of Cosplay, how to create everyday looks, and the world of Bounding. The book includes shopping guides, sources, convention pack lists, Con pack lists and more. As time passed, Kim's style grew to include more of goth styles she loves, as well as sparkly pink and kawaii clothes, so she changed her brand name to "NerdySparkleGoth.com". Please take a look around, click on the links to shop around and drop a comment if you'd like. All people are welcome here, regardless of size, age, identity. Remember, clothes do not have a gender, so you can wear anything and everything you want! Let Kim help you find those pieces to look and feel your most confident self!
