Well, well, well… if it isn’t my favorite holiday of the year! Not only is it any excuse to buy some spooOOOooOky things that can be creatively woven into your wardrobe, but we also all get to be someone else for a little while. We get to step out of our mary-janes and into someone else’s, so why not take advantage and have some fun? I know I did.
Per the rules of any college student, I had three different costumes. First, a skeleton morph suit, because who doesn’t appreciate a classic? While I did NOT appreciate all of my fellow liberal-arts students asking me if I was Phoebe Bridgers (Hello? Can’t a girl just be a skeleton?), I must admit I enjoyed the no fuss of my look. Night two I was Wilma from the Flintstones, and TRUST ME, I thought of it BEFORE Hailey and Justin Bieber did! Night three was my home run. I went as Cher and yes I got a long black wig, yes I got a purple sequin set, yes I did gorgeous purple eye makeup. I must say, as a girl who usually airs on the simple and homemade side of costume curation (for five years in a row I was a super-hero called Pajama Girl, coined by me), I really enjoyed going for it this year.
This post was meant to be short and sweet, so I am going to wrap it up, but the last thing I want to say is that it can be tough to have a truly unique costume on Hallow’s Eve, so don’t beat yourself up if you were one of three Princess Mias. This is the one time us &tosters are allowing you all to not get so caught up in individuality. As long as your wigs were knotted and half off by the end of the night (mine was!) then you did your job. So Happy Halloween pookies! We love you!
