Trick or Treat


According to Mean Girls, "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." That may be true, but what if you don't want to dress like a total slut? I spent 6 awkward years in middle and high school trying to fit in, trying to look hot, trying to find my personal style, and now that I'm in college, I don't want to revert back to that young girl who doesn't know who she is. I don't want to sacrifice my style for the approval of some drunken frat boys. Plus, Halloween used to be fun. There's nothing fun about running around in lingerie when it's 40 degrees outside.

However, Halloween is a day away and I still don't have a costume. I was looking online and apparently my costume options are slutty nurse, slutty school girl, slutty flight attendant, slutty fairy, slutty football player... well, pretty much any occupation/mythical creature you can think of, but with a "skirt" that barely qualifies, knee high fishnets, and a top cut to your belly button. The American Apparel website has some cute retro costume ideas, but nothing really caught my eye. I'm going shopping today so I'll see what I can find. What are you planning to be?
