HALLOWEEN COSTUMES: A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

Hi everyone! I thought it would be fun to take a quick peek at some of my most recent (and favorite) Halloween costumes. Now that I'm 20, dressing up for Halloween isn't quite the spectacle that it used to be but I still love dressing up! Let's get into it :)


A few years ago, my best friend (at the time, sadly we don't speak anymore) and I were an angel and a devil. It was fitting for our friendship and I think the costumes turned out cute! The only piece of my costume that I bought were my wings, the corset and shorts were borrowed.


Fast forward a few years, I was a belly dancer for Halloween! I was inspired by Zumba, the skirt I wore (purple with jingly coins, super fun) I had recently bought to wear to class! Again, another super simple costume: a black bandeau, my skirt (obviously I wore spandex underneath cause I'm classy), and some gold hoop earrings! Oh, and some purple jewels :) As you can probably tell, I'm not a fan of buying costumes from the store because it's always cheaper and more fun to make your own anyways!


My favorite Halloween costume is from 2 years ago, when my (now ex) boyfriend and I dressed up as Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction. As you probably know by now, I am obsessed with Pulp Fiction. It's my favorite movie. Like ever. I searched high and low for all of the pieces of my costume, a few of which I purchased at the thrift store. I couldn't find a wig that I liked, but I did find a syringe to tape to my chest ;) If you are confused and have no idea what I'm talking about, drop everything you're doing and go watch Pulp Fiction right now!

Fake cigarettes, I promise!


I had fun with this trip down memory lane, and I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my Halloween costumes! In my humble opinion, the best kinds of costumes are DIY!

  1. Cute post! My favorite costume thusfar was my Harry Potter costume. I didn't make it because I'm not that talented, lol. This year I am wearing a simple black dress and painting on a sugar skull :)

    Happy Halloween!
