Past Halloween Costume Ideas

With Halloween just around the corner, why not share some past costume ideas?

Some are store bought, some are handmade, some are just put together in a short time frame.

You'll get to see a lot of couple costumes... and see how cute we are ;)

Our First Year Together - 2007:

Knife Thrower and His Assistant

 

Gosh, I feel so old looking at these!  This is six years ago!!

 

I've worn this costume many times since.

Everyone appreciates this costume, as a couple or as a solo.

 

2008: 

 

(Here's where we got a little creative)

 

Officer Sweetheart & Captain Sour Tart

 

This shirt was gifted to me by Matt's aunt and uncle - On the name tag, it actually says "Officer Sweetheart", so we went with it!  It's actually become one of my favorite costumes.

 

Do you see my duty belt?

My Night Stick: Unicorn Lollipop, Bullets: Gumballs, Tickets: Candy Buttons, Handcuffs: Heart Shaped Cookie Cutters, Keys: Measuring Spoons

 

2009:

 

We didn't have plans this year...  We were in the middle of wedding planning at this time.

 

So I threw this together to wear to work:

2010:

 

We're married!

 

What I wore to work:

 

 

Since no one else was dressing up this year, I still wanted to participate without going crazy...

Can you guess what I am?

 

A Skeleton Key!

 

Far stretch...?

 

That weekend, we had a party to attend.

 

Matt and I went as zombies, but I have no photos of us together!

Zombies is the ultimate, last minute costume.

Quick trip to the thrift store, fake blood, and some make up.

I went for a 50's vibe, wearing a polka dot dress, cardi, and pumps; 

although you can't really see that here:

 

Now we'll skip to 2012:

 

(We did absolutely nothing in 2011)

 

This is a couples costume that we used to make a special announcement:

 

 

Matt got his dream job back as an officer!  And the town he is working for has "Fox" in it ;)

 

And I had a special boy's birthday party to attend that year that Matt couldn't make it to:

 

 

So here was my better half that night:

 

Dorothy and The Tin (wo)Man

I'm still hoping to dress up as something this year... Although it may be a repeat... I only have plans to dress up for work... Boring, I know...

 

Anyone want to come over and watch scary movies with me??
