halloween in the eighties

i have been reminiscing today about my early halloween costume choices.

the following were my top four favorites during elementary school...

{tinkerbell}

i remember my mother rubbing cream rouge on my cheeks.

i had to wear a turtleneck under the classic plastic tunic

because it was cold in ohio at the end of october.

{strawberry shortcake}

my best friend went with me as "apricot."

this costume had the annoying mask

with the wonky elastic string.

{fifties girl in a poodle skirt}

my mom made my skirt and it was incredibly cute.

i rocked the saddle shoes.

i would still wear the whole ensemble.

 

{valley girl}

i wore a sleeveless grey flashdance style sweatshirt

that said "totally awesome" on the front.

i bought glittery green hairspray from spencer's at the mall

and made my hair huge.

my bangle bracelets, legwarmers, and jelly shoes

were smokin' hot.

please join me in this little jaunt down memory lane and describe a few of your early costumes...
