Halloween is one of the most fun holidays because it makes it totally acceptable to dress up for a night (or for college students basically a whole week) and have a blast! Halloween is filled with scary movies, costumes, candy, haunted houses, carving pumpkins. I for one love dressing up and will jump at every chance I get. I recently was looking through old pictures and decided to show you guys the evolution of my Halloween costumes. I found pictures going back to Freshmen year of high school- don’t judge. haha enjoy this little Flashback Friday for Halloween!
First I present my freshmen year of high school costume. My friends and I decided to go as the elements (we knew there isn’t a flower or ice
element but we didn’t want to leave her out of the group).
For my sophomore year I went as a flapper- big step up from my thrown together fire costume. Also every costume I’ve worn, I’ve made myself or was an old costume from dance recitals.
Junior year was another recycled dance costume and I went as Michael Jackson with my sparkly jacket. It was a bit of a stretch and no one really knew what I was suppose to be, but hey it was free and made marching in the parade for band pretty easy and warm.
When senior year rolled around, the movie “Easy A” was really popular so I used yet again another old dance costume (the black corset), sewed a red A on and went as Olive Pendergast.
Finally the time comes when I leave high school and move on to when Halloween gets really fun again- college. Freshman year I went as a flapper again and made my boyfriend go with me as gangster.
Last year we chose another couples costume and he went as a firefighter and I went as the dalmatian. Ironically my best friend and her boyfriend went as the same thing without even knowing!
And….. This year I have two costumes!! The first I wore out last night- it was a sort of candy corn girl dress?? Not entirely sure but I found it in my friend’s basement so I made it work.
Tonight I’m going as a gypsy to my sorority’s social and I’m sure pictures will be posted on my Instagram so follow me there too!
As I mentioned I love to dress up and between high school homecoming, college themed events, and dance recitals have provided me with plenty of opportunities to follow themes and raid the costume closet….
The picture on the left is from my high school senior year homecoming. The theme was 90’s cartoons and we dressed up as the power puff girls. The picture on the right is from my competition dance season junior year of high school. We had a routine that followed the story of Alice in Wonderland and I was a mad hatter.
Above on the left I dressed as a flapper again for a Gatsby social for my sorority. On the left the theme was white trash- as you can see we got pretty into it.
One of my favorite, most recent themes was a Barbie theme. Barbie is apparently wonder woman and has held every occupation and worn everything under the sun. I managed to find an astronaut costume and went as space Barbie.
I hope you all have a fantastic Halloween and get the chance to dress up, eat lots of candy, and get your spook on!
Sweet tooth, sweet life
