In past years, I haven't done much with Halloween, mainly because my family preferred to have a cookout in our backyard and then watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" by ourselves with our own candy rather than traipse around the neighborhood in the cold with small children...but this year, I was PREPARED. I had a costume pretty much all set - it's one I've done before but I've been perfecting over the past year or so. I also had a college professor who offered us extra credit for dressing up on Halloween. So, without further ado, here is my costume! (I apologize for the picture quality and size, but I didn't have anyone to be my photographer that day!)
Compared with Rey in The Force Awakens....
It's not quite perfect (I still can't figure out how to get arm wraps to work right!), but I think the hairstyle really helps! I even ended up winning our class costume contest out of maybe 10 people, so...that was cool.
First, I had a tunic made from a thrift store shirt and sewn-on bits of fabric I had lying around, some gray sports capris, a pair of gray boots and a belt, and a poncho that I borrowed from a cousin for the day! I also had a makeshift lightsaber made from a broken flashlight. With that, and my hair all done up, some makeup on, I daresay it turned out all right!
Anyway, that's that!!! Thanks for the blog party, MC! :)
