My Halloween Costume

When I was younger, I would dress up for Halloween every year. It was something I looked forward to, the whole act of dressing up and being someone or something I wasn't was a lot of fun. But that yearly tradition ended the moment I entered middle school. The last time I dressed up for Halloween was in 5th grade because it was the last time I was allowed to wear my costume at school. What good is dressing up for Halloween when no one will really see you? Ever since then, I stayed home with a bowl of candy for the trick-or-treaters resting on my lap, watching scary movies in my night clothes. Until this year. Thankfully, that dull, stay-at-home tradition was broken when my uncle decided to throw a Halloween party. So, for the first time in a long time, I got to dress up for Halloween.

Since I haven't dressed up in a long time, I had no idea what I was going as. I was planning to stop by Party City or a costume shop and find my outfit. But before I could do that, my mother came home with a red bustier and that led to many ideas. Before I knew it, I had my costume ready, put together with things I already had in my home. I was going as a Goth girl.

I wanted so badly to wear my costume to school on Halloween. I wanted to do what I did in elementary school, but I didn't. I knew that many people wouldn't dress up that day and I'm not someone who likes to stand out in a crowd, I like to blend in. Plus, my costume is a little provocative, and after class I have to take the bus and walk home. It would be a bit embarrassing.
I tried to upload some pictures of me in my costume, but for some reason it wasn't working. So, I guess this is another year my classmates won't see my costume, but at least I had one.
