I know that Halloween is sooo last week and most people are already talking about Christmas, but I did want to give the vast realm of The Internet a peek at my self-made costumes.  I don’t really do the scary, dripping in blood and oodles of white cakey goth-makeup costumes, but I do love the cute ones.

Exhibit A: Alice in Wonderland, a bit grown up; this was for Friday night at a fantastic Halloween party.  The dress was from Ross or T.J. Maxx a year ago and I wear it all the time, although not usually with stripey tights or an apron.

Exhibit B:  Little Red Riding Hood, a bit grown up, for Saturday night.  My mom actually made the cape (which has a hood, btw) when I was four or so.  Granted, at the time it came down to my lower calf and now it hits me at the hip, but I decided that I couldn’t not wear it.  I made the pink skirt and apron and carried a little basket full of snacks, keys, phone, etc.  It should be noted, the curly hair thing is definitely a new move for me.  Admittedly, it takes a solid hour and half a can of hairspray to make my naturally stick-straight hair into something resembling Shirley Temple or Goldilocks, the final product was completely worth it.
