Halloween Party

This year Jason and I decided to actually go to a Halloween party for families.  This would be the first dress up Halloween party we have been to since my senior year of college in 2000.  If you know me you know I hate dressing up not because I think it is silly but because anything that could fit my figure isn't the most flattering thing out there and I am not one to go in the more risque route so you can imagine the struggle I was having.  I was so stressed I snapped whenever Jason asked I had found one  Poor thing.  I am glad he understood and never snapped back.  The afternoon of I ventured out in an incredibly sour mood.  Prior to this I had no contentions of finding anything.  I decided my default would be a boa, tiara, and costume jewelry from Kaylie's dress up box...cheesy but it was something that didn't make me feel as if I was wearing a moo moo.  Thankfully, I gave in and tried things.  I found a poodle skirt outfit where the buttons on the shirt were busting out but figured with a few safety pins I might be able to make it work relegating the stress of having nothing.  That is when I decided to get gutsy and try one the costume that matched Jason's.  I had already written this one off before putting it on because it was long.  I was soon grateful I did.  I was over come with excitement over the fact I found something that fit and matched Jason.  I found some gold leave barettes and gold jewelry and happily went home ready to have a family night out.  I think we made a pretty cute couple.
