What is my costume for Halloween this year?

The best costume I ever wore is one I have not worn yet. My costume for this year is by far my favorite. As I am now 17, my mother believes that she does not need to "buy" me a costume. So my original plan was to be Wendy (from Peter Pan) for Halloween. It seemed simple enough. She wears a plain blue nightgown with a ribbon across it and black flats, with a ribbon holding her ringlets curls. However, I had SO MUCH trouble finding a blue nightgown. I looked at two different thrift shops, Target, and Walmart, not having any luck whatsoever. Everything I found either was not of the right style, had a pattern on it, or both. I gave up on that costume a bit earlier this month, as I could find nothing that would match her outfit. 

So I moved onto the idea of being a black cat for Halloween. NOPE.

I thought "Hey that's simple enough, I just need to make some cat ears and wear all black." I even thought about how I could tie it into Disney. I could be Berlioz, the cute little black kitten from The Aristocats. I could tie a red ribbon around my neck, and presto. 
 
THEY'RE JUST SO ADORABLE.

But then, the fall carnival, here at Kickapoo was this past weekend. I thought about being a cat, as I was helping out with it and wanted to dress up (since we were allowed to). But I thought "Nah. I'll be a cat on Halloween." So I went to the carnival dressed as a 50's sockhop girl, wearing my mom's old costume. (I had a matching one when I was younger that I wore out- I wore it for Halloween at least three years...) 

At the carnival I saw SO MANY girls dressed as cats. I then realized how generic being a cat is, so I got rid of that idea really quick. So what was I suppose to be now?

Well then, an amazing idea came to me. I COULD BE _________ FROM ______ (it's a surprise- but I will give hints ;D) This character is one of my FAVORITE characters for one of my FAVORITE movies. (I've seen this movie 3 times at the movie theater- Once this summer, and the two other times, this past month at the Palace.) I posted a gif of this character in one of my earlier blog posts and the movie this character is from is in my movie section in my Fandoms! 

I'm currently making this character's outfit... Or parts of it. I was actually watching the first movie, since I'm making the character's outfit/get-up from the second movie it is in. It's so AWESOME. I actually have battle wounds from my hardcore crafting of this outfit last night. I burn my leg twice with a glue gun, and yeah... Oops. Whatever, IT IS WORTH IT. I'll be wearing this costume on Thursday of this week (since its a spirit week and Thursday is Halloween Costumes since we don't have school on Friday, Halloween). I will also be wearing this costume on Halloween (obviously). But yeah. Be prepared.

  1. I can't wait to see what you came up with tomorrow! I think I have a good guess! I'll be wearing a generic tshirt with a bat on it.
