Dressing Up

- Journaling: Ive never been much for dressing up. Thats not to say that I didnt, it just wasnt very often even as a kid. I remember being Red Riding Hood one year, my red cape and hood were sewn simply from a red towel by my mom. She also made me a witch costume a couple of years later. I watched her cut the fabric and sew the pieces together anxiously and could hardly wait to don it on Halloween night for trick-or-treating. These two costumes were put in storage and while I would occasionally get them out of the box to admire, I dont remember wearing them much. The only other Halloween costume I remember specifically was the white rabbit outfit I put together myself to go with the ears I purchased that year. Once I got to high school I decided not to bother with dressing up and just went trick-or-treating for Unicef each year as PHS had a class competition. We often got candy along with the money for charity from the houses we stopped at even without dressing up. Homecoming week in high school was filled with different dressup days, but I only rarely participated in those. The picture of Matt and I dressed up for pajama day our senior year made the yearbook (probably because it was such a rare sight LOL). Now that Im a mom I enjoy helping the kids find their costumes for Halloween each year and occasionally I can be talked into putting on something simple for the evening. Im usually content to stick with some small wardrobe gesture to the current holiday season. Im just not that comfortable with putting on costumes and pretending to be something other than what I am.
