One of the pros to having a healthy and active social life is being more motivated to take part in festivities and making plans. Armed with a solid group of friends, some old and new, taking part in things has been a lot less difficult to do. I was actually able to attend quite a few Halloween themed activities this year, both on and off campus. I ended up having three looks this season, and I'm super happy with how they all turned out.
First up is Pokemon Trainer.
As an avid Pokemon Go player, especially during the school year, I felt it was fitting to get out this old backpack and throw a look together. I won that backpack back in high school at a costume competition my local library was having - I was dressed as Fiona (Finn's official gender bend) from 'Adventure Time'. I had both a fem and masc fit planned out, I like having options that express my identity - not knowing how I'd feel the morning of the party. Decided on a masc look due to how I was feeling that day and ended up super happy with how it turned out. I loved how all my reds matched ♥️
Second look was Poison Ivy.
Thanks to good ol' Walmart coming in clutch with the $17 steal of a costume. I definitely partied harder than it was intended for - evidently by the loss of sequins and leaves throughout the night. Overall would give this a 8/10, I was able to go braless which is practically impossible for me. Very impressed with the quality.
Third look was simply a pumpkin.
Utilizing the headband from the Poison Ivy costume that I forgot to wear before and a bright orange sweater, I fashioned a cute but festive outfit for school today. Peep the pumpkin I had painted at school a few days prior. Made a spooky forest with yellow poui flowers. I've noticed I paint those flowers often, I miss seeing the tall yellow poui trees back in Jamaica that would make the entire ground a yellow carpet. They were festive in their own way, maybe that's why I paint them any chance I get.
Highlight of the day was seeing this guy while getting lunch. Super cool fur suit based off Lucario (A Pokemon I LOVE), I was totally freaking out. He was so nice, I really appreciated him taking a pic with me. My friends kept poking fun at me for blushing lol, I'm all for things odd and people weird. The world needs more weird (pls weird responsibly and within reason y'all).
I'm looking forward to ending the year with an even more motivated, confident and determined version of myself leading the way. God willing, the folks who've come to know me and have changed my life will stick around and we'll continue creating fun memories to look back on. Now on to November (γ^_^)γ
