Halloween update!

In an earlier blog, I expressed my costume choosing mental block! I thought it would be only proper to tell you the outcome and the costume I ended up with.

Pippi Longstocking!!!!

I came to this choice because I absolutely adored this character as a kid. She was so funny and perky even though she was a little orphan girl. The costume wasn't really that difficult to conjure up.

The wig:

I originally bought a black wig. I then sprayed it with temporary red hair paint. The, with the help of my boyfriend stuck coat hangers in each side to make it stay up.

The rest of it:

For the completion of the outfit, I simple wore overall shorts, a gray T-shirt, mismatching long knee socks and white tennis shoes.

My Halloweeny mental block!

This blog is generally focused on the spilling of my thoughts on to the screen. But this time, I need your help! I'm taking my sister around trick-or-treating for Halloween and I have no idea what to dress up as!

In the past, I have taken on the roles of Wednesday Adams and a lady in a masquerade ball. However, for some reason, this year my ideas have come up short. I would appreciate any thoughts you could share on the issue. Although, you have to keep in my that all costume must be family appropriate. I am grateful to all the help I can get!
