PART 2
So after reading my last post, you are probably waundering what I actually was for halloween. I was a gypsy/ fortune teller, but let me tell you, there was a lot of stress that came along with it.
For one, I waited until one day before halloween, to decide what my costume was. I mean my mom even told me a week prior to this that I should have everything figured pretty soon. And of course, typical tween, I do not listen and procastinated. I took "pretty soon" as last minute! Well, here I am, the day of, scrounding around the house finding little things to make my costume recongnisable. I am talking on the computer, google image searching: girl gypsy halloween costume, and comparing to see what I have to work with. Luckily my mom had a box of really cool masks and clothing that I could use. Oh, my mom had a pretty full halloween day, so she squeezed in the day before as much help as she could offer. I was basically on my own. Talk about stress!
Oh my gosh! When my mom got home, the house was covered in jewerly and clothes from past attempts. By this time I had pulled it all together and I needed just one thing to top it off. I mean I had the skirt (which is a big deal for anyone who knows me), a very fancy vest, a shaw, a cool bracelette, a scarf transformed into a waist wrap, and a mystic attitude. Remember I am gypsy. So my mom quickly ran me to Joannes and got me this cool $5 head piece. Everything else we had at home. So my whole costume cost $5 and was really awesome. I got a lot of compliments and it was fun. You know, besides all of the stress. My mom and I were proud of ourselves.
So, was it a ton of stress? Yah. If I could do it over, would I change it? Of course. Will it happen again? Probably not. I cannot do that to me, let alone my mom. I mean she is the one who wants the best for me and will go to the end of the universe for me to be happy. She is the one whos day gets stressed over something as minor my having a small headache (which are pretty frequent for me). Believe me tweens, I am not the only luckly one, everyone our mom's would do this for us. No matter how stressed out the mom gets, the only reason she does it, is because she loves you.
Okay so, I did have some fun trick or treating (with all ettiquette applied), but I had the most fun brainstorming ideas. I acually did not realize how hard it was to find a costume that I really felt good to wear. Not only in comfort, but in the story behind it, the color scemes, the message. Anyway these are my top 5 easy last minute ideas for all of you procrastinating tweens...
Dead Sports Player -this could be from any sports uniform that you have gotten from playing sports and paint your face white with dark black circles under your eyes plus fate blue lips
A Witch- I know the most original, but you can find a way to give it some flair. Maybe add a characteristic quality that you have
An Artist or Evil Scientist- I put these in the same category because you can just use a white coat-ish thing and get it dirty with paint or dirt and you know. If you are a scientist, do your hair crazy and some dirt on your face. An artist, you could carry a painting pallet and use personally painted pillow case trick or treating bag
Pirate- it sounds hard, but it is not too difficult when you have the following things, some jeans, if you have uggs or boots, a white long sleeved shirt, a long knee long jacket, and a pirate hat (which you can get anywhere for cheap).
Poverished- just wrap yourself in a long brown, tan, or dark olive green old blanket with holes it
More importantly, the best advice I can offer is to NOT wait until the last minute, all of these costumes can be put together pretty simply.
I hope this helps add ideas and keeps you and your moms stress free next halloween!
