Flashback Friday: Costumes of Halloween Past

 

What’s my favorite part of Halloween you ask? Dressing up of course!

To this day, my absolute favorite costume was a gypsy. I was probably around 10 or 12. We had a neighbor who had a closet full of costumes for the picking. The reason I fell in love with this costume was because of the spectacular jewelry that went along with it. I can still remember this one necklace that felt like a giant cork, with a mysterious symbol covering it. I still think about being a gypsy every year, but I just don’t think I could top that 10/12 year old Kelsey, so I don’t try.

Enjoy our past Halloween costumes.

{2009- Nerd Fairy & Farmer???}

I was part of this group costume of nerd fairies. Also, I’ve really helped Craig get better at dressing up, I’m not even going to show you what he was in 2008. Too disturbing.

{2008 Sexy Hunchback}

Craig likes to make fun of me to this day about this costume. But it has been one of my favorite costumes! Brooke and I were trying to be ironic, you know, think of one of the least sexy things and go for it. After all, what is Halloween except for an excuse to slut out? (sarcasm) But as you can see by the end of the night we reverted to what a hunchback really is.

Well never mind, I am showing you a picture of Craig being a real creep. Seriously, that is what he went as, a creep.

{2007 Witch/Pirate}

I was going for a witch but when I took of the hat people kept guessing pirate, so I took off one earring and went for it. I am with my friend Jeniece (mechanic). We went to a big YSA party where my brother-in-law was playing with his band.

Craig’s past costumes include:

  • dinosaur
  • school boy (to maximize candy storage)
  • hobo
  • Frankenstein
  • Ninja Turtle

As you can see we recycled costumes between us sisters many a times. And I think they all came from past dance recitals. Oh yeah! These pictures make me smile. I had an awesome childhood.
