"Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress
like a total slut and no other girls
can say anything about it."

Let me start this off by saying Halloween is my favorite holiday in the calendar year besides the Fourth of July...because 'Merica. But, it wasn't always that way. Finding a Halloween costume in middle school and high school was dreadful for me. I was awkward and chubby and didn't lose my baby fat until junior year. Even when I did lose it, I still felt uncomfortable in my skin and went as a fisherman. Woof.
When college hit, all things changed. Freshman year I was a sexy bunny, sophmore year I was a sexy cowgirl, junior year I was a sexy hippie. SENIOR YEAR really summed up my life. One night I was a housewife because #goals and the other I was a type of alcohol. It was a roomie costume and I was 99 Bananas. That used to be my drink back in the day. Yak city now.

Please notice my complete lack of effort in this costume. I was too busy drinking my costume to make it.
Moral of the story, college and the first year after where the years I decided to NOT hide that I was trying to look sexy and slutty. I would show you my housewife costume, but my serious boyfriend at the time would not have been pleased with my attempt at looking like a sexual fantasy for other guys so no photographs were taken of me that night. #Healthy.
Now, at the ripe old age of 25, I still manage to keep the sexy factor in my costumes while actually trying to seriously take part in the holiday because I am an adult now, everyone....MOM. This past weekend at a party I was an Energizer Bunny. An actual thing, but a bunny regardless. This upcoming Halloween weekend I am going to be a Zombie School Girl. A sexy one, but still legit and Saturday, my bestie and I are going as Sugar Skulls, with crop tops, duh. Pictures to follow next week.
I have also found that I am completely going to be the "cool mom not the regular mom" because I am making my boyfriend pick up a Hooters tank top for my 17 year old cousin. She obviously wants to be a Hooters Girl and he will be in the neighborhood and I am SURE he won't be complaining about making THAT pit stop.
Halloween is so interesting to me, I have three Pinterest boards dedicated to the Holiday. What used to be candy, Hocus Pocus, and apple cider to me is now making sure I can squeeze enough ab workouts in this week to look good in my school girl outfit.
Gotta love it.
Ultimate goal in life is to follow in my mother's foot steps and be a pregnant nun when I am expecting my first child (if that ever happens).
Happy Trick or Treating everyone. I hope you get more treats than tricks.
