Halloweek: 8 days, 9 costumes

Halloween is serious business.

Halloweek: 8 days, 9 costumes
Giphy

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays as I love to dress up. Starting last year, I began dressing up everyday, for the week of Halloween, aka Halloweek. When I do this, most parts of my costumes come from my closet – a good chunk of my character representation come from dressing in their color palette. This idea is also inspired by Leslie Kay's Disneybounding as well. So as Halloween is/was on a Monday this year, there's many costumes that have been worn and here they are.

1. Monday: Goofy (Disney) - Black shirt, orange cardigan, jeans, brown boots, and a little hat crafting with felt, cardboard, a headband and glue for the hat. I also put my hair in pigtails to represent Goofy's ears and drew on a nose with some eyeliner.


2. Tuesday: Marceline (Adventure Time) & Emily, The Corpse Bride (The Corpse Bride - Marceline's getup included all black, a red/black/white plaid shirt, a long black wig, and some lip gloss for the blood. Emily's outfit was made of a white dress with a draped white sheet pinned to the dress, a dark blue wig, and a headband with a light blue (50's style) scarf/ascot sort of thing.

3. Wednesday: Wednesday Addams (The Addams Family) - Wednesday's outfit consisted of a black dress, black socks, and black shoes. I wore the same wig I wore for Marceline, but braided them for the true essence of Wednesday. Looking dead inside helped really capture Wednesday's personality type.


4. Thursday: Hades (Disney's Hercules) - This one was a little last minute, since I was possibly going to be working all day. I threw on a black shirt with my work pants and shoes (both are black). I put on the wig I used for Emily on Tuesday and BAM, a genderbent Hades.


5. Friday: Wendy Darling (Disney's Peter Pan) - Wendy Darling was one of my favorites to wear because I basically wore PJ's all day. I wore a black dress underneath a light blue nightgown I found at Goodwill for like $3. I paired these with my black flats and a ribbon in my (tied-back) hair.


6. Saturday: 50's Sockhop Gal - This one was an actual costume. My mom bought me this one at Walmart because I thought it was cute (and I'll probably wear it when it isn't Halloween too). The costume came with the dress and scarf paired it with my white shoes.


7. Sunday: Jaq (Disney's Cinderella): I used a very large shirt I bought last year for my Lilo costume and paired it with the same orange cardigan I used for Goofy. I then glued some cardboard shaped ears to a red hat and drew a nose and whiskers to capture my mousiness.


8. HALLOWEEN Monday: Mabel Pines (Gravity Falls) - A purple dress, a pink sweater--custom painted by yours truly, a pink headband and white socks worn with my black flats.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
