Cue "Pomp and Circumstance"

Welcome back my couch potatoes. I stand before you, virtually in my cap and gown with my cords around my neck, looking like a rainbow. I'...

This is real, this is me... jk

My couch potatoes! (I found a new way to begin each blog from inspiration of my friend's blog. Sorry if I sound like a cheesy You Tuber.) Welcome back. October has been a pretty hectic week. I still gotta finish some college stuff especially since I am applying to at least one school early action. And I have to finish up my compositions for my portfolio for college. (I need to write 3 before Dec. 1st and I only have one and a half done... ahhh!) Then there's my sister's Sweet 16 where we still have to finish the final details.

But honestly I love October. Friday night lights, sweater weather, and most of all... Halloween! Now I've never been a huge celebrant of the "holiday" but I love the idea of it. Scaring other people, free candy. Plus, it's an excuse to stay up and hang out with your friends on a school night. Sitting in with friends to junk and watch a movie (scary or just festive) is just as fun as going out and causing trouble with them. (I'm not saying that I've ever caused trouble. Most of you know me. I'm a goody-goody.)

But what I love most about Halloween is the dressing up. I feel like you could be anything you want to be. I think it's a good way to step out of your comfort zone and try something new... ya know. I don't know. I just like the idea of being someone else instead of yourself for the day you know. So this week I wanted to give you, couch potatoes, ideas of what to go as for Halloween. These ideas revolve around all kinds of people such as artists, characters, and other celebrities. There is something for everyone, whether you do it in a group, as a couple or just on your own.

Superheroes

It's easy! You and your friends can go as the Justice League, the Avengers or even the villains, the Suicide Squad. You can dress up with a button down shirt, and put a shirt underneath with a superheroes logo on it. Or girls, you can wear a superhero shirt with a matching colored tu-tu.

Timmy Turner and his Fairy God Family

Another easy one. Just make a few home made crowns and wands and a t-shirt of the appropriate color. (There's definitely no need to dye your hair but if you want to, by all means, go right ahead)

Charlie Brown and the Peanut Gallery

I feel this may be a little harder to do, however it is still possible to wear your hair like Lucy and make your own homemade outfits!

Justin Timberlake and Britney Speares power couple

I think anyone can rock their all denim look... maybe.

Spice Girls

Let's be honest, if you could be a Spice Girl for a day, you would know exactly which one you would be.

Men in Black

I'm sure everyone has some business casual clothes that make them look like the are part of an elite force. Plus, you would probably get many compliments for looking so dapper.

Variations of Katy Perry and Lady Gaga

This is definitely more difficult than the ones above. But still, you can make your own Katy Perry or Lady Gaga inspired costume.

These are just a few entertainment inspired costume ideas. But the sky is the limit when it comes to Halloween. My friends and I are actually going to dress as each other (which seemed like a good idea at first until we all realized we all dress the same).

Until next time my couch potatoes, keep laying low ;)

  6. Halloween is only a week away and still have no idea what I am going to dress up as, so this more helpful than you know. Maybe I'll ask my friends bout the Charlie Brown idea and see if we can swing a group costume. Also, I totally feel you with the college stuff, it's not easy at all! I hope you can get your compositions finished in time!
