With Halloween around the corner, I feel as though its fitting and appropriate to send some costume inspo your way. Modeled by yours truly, I have put together a timeline of every Halloween costume I have sported through the years, some of which still haunt me today and are more terrifying than any "Scream" or Freddy Krueger costume.
1. Started with the classics
Because for some reason parents love to see their chubby children dressed as insects. Real original, mom.
2. An icon
Honestly, this costume is really cute. I have no complaints because Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" is iconic.
3. Every Disney princess ever
Another toddler classic. One can appreciate the outstanding confidence I had at this age. Bonus points to me for being bold and experimenting with wigs.
4. Taking the scary approach
A very modest devil indeed. Ladies, take notes.
5. Another icon
Yes, I had a very serious and kind of concerning Hannah Montana phase/obsession.
6. Channeling my inner diva
I was a theatre girl, so naturally I had to dress as a Pink Lady from "Grease."
7. Move over, Miss America
No words.
8. So much cringe
A questionable costume choice indeed. This looks like one of those adult baby fetishes, and I'm not proud.
9. Peace. Love. I needed braces.
You know, I bought this entire get up in one of those costume sets from the Halloween store.
10. A basic 8th grader
Bright red lipstick, braces, unnecessarily dark eyeshadow, and an Android phone. Not sure what's scarier, me or the pumpkin.
11. Freshman year = no cares
I sported a Blackhawks shirt and went as a "Hawks girl" because, you know, sportz.
12. It wasn't even the 4th of July
Ah, yes. My friends and I dressed as "USA girls" because we were unoriginal sophomores and had to put something together last minute. Fun fact: I got dress-coded for wearing this because the shirt was see-through, and it showed off my American flag bralette. Sorry but that was the whole point, Mrs. Advisor-Chair.
13. Minion by day...
I learned my lesson from sophomore year on "appropriateness" for dressing up at school.
14. ...Cadet Kelly by night
Going all out for house party with 20 people in a basement is Halloween in high school in a nutshell.
15. Friday Night Lights
I managed to still fit into my cheerleading uniform from 3rd grade and turned it into a mediocre costume.
16. A college student on a budget
And last but not least, my most recent attempt at Halloween. Not much to say other than I was a freshman in college and had to put something together last minute. A for effort though.
Now that you've been blessed with seeing every Halloween costume I've ever worn, you can continue on with your last minute costume shopping. Hopefully, my costume choices sparked some inspiration or triggered you enough to never want to repeat any of them. Either way, happy Halloween, and please refrain from the clown costumes, it's not 2016 anymore.
