What a better way to start out than with the wonderousness that is halloween??
So the past few years I've taken to making my own costumes or using things from around the house. Case in point:
Last year I was a brunette Cyndi Lauper!

This year I decided I wanted to be a ring leader, so i thrifted a long black coat and cut it into tails and resolved to line it with this awesome red.... and then i ruined it. So since I spent the last week in texas with my boyfriend, why not go with that theme?
So this year I was a saloon girl and have to concede that I was not creative at all and bought my costume :( but I have to admit, its still pretty darn cute!
*sigh* and now i have to wait another year for it to come again.... i might just have to work that petticoat into my everyday wardrobe though!
