Tik-Tok

Can't believe that Halloween is over now. It means that tomorrow is the beginning of November, and Christmas shoppers will be attacking retailers like rabid wolves. {If you think I'm exaggerating, work in retail for holiday, trust me ha!} Honestly though, I'm going to let myself have a good holiday season. I won't let work consume me and drive me crazy like I have in the past.

Speaking of work, I was there today and we all dressed up! I was not going to wear that gigantic wedding dress for 8 hours while trying to help customers so I did a little online research for something I could put together using things out of my own closet. After browsing for awhile I found something that I could definitely pull together.
Fishnets? Check.
Cut off shorts? Check.
Boots? Check.
Glitter? Check.
Bottle of Jack? Well, I didn't have that but you can get an idea.

Yep, I went as Ke$ha. I threw this costume together in about five minutes. It was funny, and crazy at the same time. I am not a fan of her's, in fact I'm kind of the opposite of a fan but tell me you've never heard "Tik-Tok" or seen her trashy face in tabloids. I got a laugh out of it and had fun drawing dollar signs all over myself.

Here's the full costume. Just keepin it sleazy.

We got to see all the cute little trick-or-treaters going around the mall, but I felt so bad telling them all that we didn't have any candy. My work said "no" to that, so it wasn't even my decision.
But I'm sure they're over it, kids aren't too heartbroken about those things for long.

Hope everyone had a happy and fun Halloween!

Melinda and I. She was a cat :)

Me and Macey...she was Poison Ivy

Me and Mariah, she was a vampire, but the poor thing couldn't get her fangs to stay on. She still looked awesome though!

This is Halloween

Well, it was a bit frustrating, but I finally figured out how to upload a template on here and made my blog look a bit more fun! I'm telling you, I am awful at editing things...HTML and I just do not get along. Plus I don't have a lot of patience when it comes to codes and things so I get frustrated easier. But it looks good for now right? I like it.

Is everyone ready for Halloween? It is definitely my favorite holiday and I wish there were more days in the year we could wear costumes. This year I struggled deciding on a costume, nothing really stood out and made me say "Yes! Winner!" I was tossing around the idea of being Snow White, while Taran was thinking of going as Dexter. After having a Tim Burton movie marathon one night the idea of a corpse-bride Beetlejuice couple type thing. I looked around costumes stores but all of the 'zombie bride' costumes were tacky and looked nothing like an actual bride. After debating for a little while I got the idea that we should just put together a dead bride and groom costume ourselves. I opted for the vintage Victorian style because I thought it would be a bit more eerie and fun. We went shopping and picked out some awesome things, including a real bridal gown from the thrift store! I was so pleased.
Last Saturday we got to put our costumes on for the first time and go to a party with people from his work. It was so much fun getting ready and seeing the final product. {And I won't lie, it was pretty fun destroying our costumes with Trevor's hunting knife-ha!}
We got a lot of compliments on it and everyone asked "are you from Beetlejuice or something?" I knew going in a Tim Burton-esque direction would work out.

We're going to another party this Saturday and we get to look this awesome for a second time.

Taran, me and Trevor {Taran's co-worker and roommate} who went as GI Joe

Taran got his pants, button up, and jacket at Saver's; his bow tie and top hat were from their Halloween selection. The vest was from a costume store {you'd be surprised how hard it was to find a regular vest that wasn't full price. Impossible}
My dress was also from Saver's, the gloves were from Claire's and the veil was from Icing. Roses from Wal Mart wrapped with crafting ribbon I already had.
Cameo pin is my mom's and she let me wear it to pull the whole look together. Thanks mom!
