Happy Halloween!
I've been way too anxious to share this fun post with you guys. Halloween is easily one of my favorite holidays of the year solely because I enjoy dressing up in creative costumes and making it myself. I'm not much of DIY-er but as you all know, I am a huge budget-saver. So when it comes to Halloween costumes, I have the most fun making them out of random things in my closet or buying them from my local thrift stores or dollar stores because no one should be spending more than $20 on a Halloween costume. The point is to be creative and unique!
And speaking of unique, I actually came up with this Halloween costume in a dream I once had. A month ago, I was trying to come up with a creative costume to top my Starbucks, peacock, and Agnes from Despicable Me costumes last year (yes, Halloween is a weekend event for me so more than one costume was obligatory). I guess it was subconsciously on my mind enough to dream about it because I woke up the next morning vividly remembering that I dressed up as the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. I thought it was perfect because I already had most of the costume (borrowed a friend's red blazer and had the blue skirt and white Converses) and I just had to make the pocket watch and buy bunny ears. Plus, I liked the whimsical, cartoon-y idea of the character so I was really excited to share it on the blog--something a little different to celebrate this fun holiday.

What did you costume(s) did you come up with this Halloween? And how will you be showing off your creative disguise? Would love to hear about some Halloween parties I can crash...just kidding...but not really.
Not tricked just treated,
