By now y’all
should know that I always overshare on the blog and I post way more pictures
than your average blogger. When I
started preparing my post for this prompt to share my favorite Halloween
costume I went back and forth and just couldn’t pick a favorite, so instead of
picking one, I’m going to share all of my favorites! And guess what? That just so happens to be almost every
single costume I’ve ever worn. Lol.
Childhood Costumes
An aerobics
instructor, Cyndi Lauper, a clown, a ballerina, a Southern belle, a Christmas
present, a witch, a vampire softball player, a Catholic school girl, a Geisha… those
are the things that I was for Halloween when I was little, and I may even be forgetting
a couple. Unfortunately pictures do not
exist of the Cyndi Lauper get-up, but if they did, it would be on here! Here are the pictures of my faves… and Laura, check out those sweet wire hanger braids. ;o)

| A clown when I was four-ish? |
 |
| A ballerina when I was five |
 |
| A Southern belle when I was seven-ish? |
 |
| A Christmas present when I was eight, I think. My mom MADE my costume out of an old box! |
Adult Costumes
Okay, so I
tried to narrow down my adult costumes to just my very favorite and I
absolutely couldn’t because I love them all so much! We used to go to an adult Halloween party
every year before we had kids and every year we had the best time dressing
up. I, of course, always wanted to be “themed”
(much to B’s dismay I’m sure) and we really did come up with some great get-ups
over the years. Enjoy!
 |
| 2004 - A witch and Shaggy... this was the one year that we didn't do a theme. |
 |
| 2005 - A nurse and a doctor |
 |
| 2006 - A Playboy bunny and Hugh Hefner... B even dyed his hair grey! |
 |
| Another one from 2006... I LOVED that skirt! |
 |
| 2007 - A spooky bride and groom... that was one month before we got married, so we HAD to do it! |
 |
| 2008 - Santa's helper and a Christmas elf |
 |
| 2009 - Hippies. And I LOVED that dress! So cute. Short, but cute. |
 |
| Another one from 2009 |
