Halloween Costume

Love the bow on this dress!


That's the unprepared for a picture, picture.


My feet are sort of funny looking in this one. I think I might have lost my ballance.


Another foot pop, yo!


So that's my Halloween costume. My grandmother made it. Adorable, right? I bought the pattern on rustyzipper. It's a for real 60's pattern. My mother did my hair. She did such a good job. It stayed in all night, too.

I'm glad for the carnival. It was sort of a test run on the hair & make up & costume, for actual Halloween. I'm way excited!

Oh yeah! The shoes. Crazy story here, for ya. I didn't have shoes to match. Payless is having this crazy sale like always. Mother and I run over there 2 or 3 hours prior to the carnival that night. We're looking, looking, looking... "Alyssa, these sort of look like the dress pattern." I was worried they would clash if they weren't dead on. We ended up getting them for $8.. should have been cheaper because they were scuffed up & obviously been worn before & a little stretched. Then we noticed they were regular $22. Heck! We'll take them!

So I get home and we hold the shoes up to the dress. PERFECT!! How the heck did we pull that off? It was seriously insane. Everyone thought I covered some shoes with the same material. That's how dead on they were. They're super comfy and a really cute style, too.

I'm going trick or treating this year. I always say I won't but end up going anyway. We hardly get any trick-or-treat-ers to pass out candy to. I want people to see this costume! My nana did such a good job on this one. I said it beat my pirate costume (all time favorite). I'd show a picture but somebody never took a picture that year. We're all very depressed.

I'll let you know how trick or treating goes.

Wow. I had trouble spelling "goes" just now. Weird.
