Shirt and pants
One of the cleverest oxymorons I came across, and so easy come by was "dress pants" - I preferred the idea of wearing that to wearing "tight slacks". Now it may not be so easy to recognize as an oxymoron, but certainly can be explained in two words.
What I really wanted for my top half was a sweatshirt or t-shirt for the Guilford College (or University of Pennsylvania, or some other schools) Fighting Quakers. I have yet to locate one that actually says "Fighting Quakers", and if I would just wear one that says "Guilford College" that would involve too much explanation.
So if I can't get one of those, a back up is a sweatshirt or t shirt of the University of Cincinnati BearKats. I haven't seen that on any sanctioned list of oxymora, but since a bear can't be a cat (or even a Kat ) it counts in my book.
So there is some room for alternatives to make the costume if anyone can think of any.
My plan is to have one more post on accessories before the week is out, and this weekend decide on a plan and then start acquiring these things
Thanks for all of your comments so far.

catdog is on this list of oxymorons (http://www.atlantamortgagegroup.com/oxymoronlist.htm), so bearkat definitely should count. also, the university of hawaii manoa's mascot is the rainbow warriors...its not quite an oxymoron but funny just the same.
