friday top ten.

1. a red crayon

earliest halloween costume

which i only remember from pictures.

2. a pumpkin

a big puffy orange pillow type costume,

with matching stem/hat

3. a witch

first grade. i still remember the awful apple bobbing contest.

 i did have a pretty cute little bob though.

4. a black cat

original, i know. complete with gymnastics leotard

and a tail made from tights and stuffed with socks.

5. a hippie

the year everyone else decide to be a hippy too.

not many other uses for the long blonde wig afterwards...

6. a cowboy

plaid shirt, pigtails, HUGE prairie girl skirt.

i think i may have even taken a stuffed horse with me to trick or treat.

regrettably, no cowboy boots.

7. the coca cola polar bear

i thought it was quite the original idea-

i wore a white sweatsuit, my mom made me a hat with ears,

and i carried an old fashioned bottle of coke.

but i was pretty annoyed

when everyone kept asking, oh are you a bunny? >:0

8. 'miss georgia' 

the year my three friends and I

dressed up as state beauty queens

in godawful gaudy prom dresses.

couldn't tell ya why i picked georgia though.

9. a french maid

this one was a buy-n-wear costume.

i added the black stilettos though :)

10. teenage mutant ninja turtles

probably one of proudest halloween moments.

that was the year i was studying abroad in france.

we made our costumes with yellow place mats,

fabric face masks

and green paint.

we even had splinter.

voilà.

a brief history of alli's halloween costumes.

are you celebrating this year?

xo & happy halloween
