Halloween 2012

“In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”  

-Mean Girls

Oh, how this statement becomes increasingly more popular every year. I know that all girls, at some point in their lives, have been guilty of it. The reason I love Halloween so much, besides getting scared, is that I get to see all the clever costumes people come up with.

Costumes I loved:

Jessica Alba, Cash Warren and family

I Love that her family went as “The Incredibles.”  I also love that they had a theme and rolled with it, it really worked! When you’re with children, it’s important to keep the costumes wholesome. Remember, that after all, Halloween is all about the children.

Ellen  

She is the queen of comedy. I love that this is the outfit she went with because I particularly didn’t care for this outfit at the Emmys but she pulled it off and loved it.

Lauren Conrad

I love the young, fresh look she gave to Mary Poppins by wearing a shorter skirt. The skirt was just the right length.

Isla Fisher

I don’t know why, but I love the sock monkey.

Miley Cyrus

This pains me to say this, but she really pulled off Nicki Minaj tastefully... well, as tastefully as one could.

Emma Roberts

So, normally dressing like a prostitute would put you in the slut category, but I thought this was great! Emma dressed as Vivian Ward from Pretty Woman, who was played by her famous aunt—Julia Roberts

Sarah Hyland

We all remember watching Recess on Saturday mornings. Well played my friend.

Costumes That I hated:

Liberty Ross

What was she thinking? She was with children! Nobody wants to see her in a tight leather jumpsuit going door to door with her kids. She took the spotlight away from them, and not in a good way.

Seal

Just because you and Heidi are not together anymore does not give you an excuse to put little to no effort into your costume.

Stacy Keibler

She really looked great, but who/what was she supposed to be? Just because you add a mask to your outfit doesn’t mean you’re ready for Halloween. To me, it’s like adding animal ears to whatever you are wearing.  

Christina Aguilera

First off let me say she has been a mess for quite some time now, and this Halloween costume just confirms she is nowhere near getting back on the straight and narrow. But, let’s face it, when has she ever been on her “A” game?

Paris Hilton

This is a perfect example of slut meets Halloween. What is she even supposed to be?

Just for kicks here are some of my best moments!

Trends I Hate

Leather Outfits

First off, I have to say, I’m all for leather. It’s cool, edgy and gives the appearance that you could kick anyone’s butt. But, the thing I hate is wearing leather from head to toe. Leather dresses are not flattering in the least bit, and they never look good. 

If you’re going to wear leather, make one piece the statement; for example: Pants, Jacket, skirt


Leggings as pants
So I know we are all guilty of the terrible, ever-increasing trend, but... LEGGINGS ARENT PANTS! If you’re going to wear them, cover your butt. The only appropriate place to wear leggings is the comfort of your own home or at the gym. 

Crop tops
I don’t even know what to say about this trend except that I hate it. The thing that is just awful is that people combine leggings with crop tops, and that is just unacceptable. 

Miniskirts with Uggs
First off, I have to say that I have a pair of Uggs. They keep my feet warm at home and are easy to slip on if I have to go to the grocery store. But, I would never think about wearing them out for the day or an evening out on the town. It’s even worse when Uggs are paired with a denim miniskirt. You tend to see this a lot in Arizona during the winter months. I think it’s because it never really gets that cold. But, I don’t understand the thinking behind the concept of this outfit. Your feet are cold but your legs are not?  Leave the denim miniskirts where they belong… the beach, or better yet 1995. 

Ed Hardy
WARNING: If you see someone wearing Ed Hardy, run! Run fast into the other direction. You may get a fist pump to the face, or you might suffocate from their cheap imitation designer cologne. They also might want to show you their souped up truck that is lifted so high you need a ladder to get in it.

Crocs
They may be comfortable and easy to slip on, but no respectable adult should be wearing crocs. 

Ponchos
The only reason someone should wear a poncho is, well… there really isn’t one. It’s ok if you came to Disneyland unprepared and it started raining all of a sudden, or if you’re going to ride splash mountain. But, even then, what’s the purpose of riding Splash Mountain if you don’t want to get wet? So really, there is never a good reason to wear a poncho.
