So I work with a lot of 20 something's and I find that they keep me young at heart... Mostly because they tell me wonderful things like "there's no way you're that old!" Ok so maybe that sounds like a cross between a compliment and an insult, but hey I will take it! Anyway, one of the 20 something's invited me to a HalloweenHouse Party replete with a black light and techno music bumping in the garage! At first I thought perhaps I was too old for this party but the 20something assured me that attending was not optional! So, I began my search for the perfect costume...after all it was my first Halloween party except for the ones we used to have in elementary school. So after a lot of Pinterest-ing I came to the conclusion that 98% of Halloween costumes for women are slutty and homie doesn't do slutty! So instead I found inspiration from this adorable baby!
Now my friends were a little skeptical...I mean, sure, the baby is ridiculously cute in this costume. But how cute would this be on a grown adult? I was convinced that I could make it work...So despite the popular opinion, I went to Hobby Lobby on Friday night and bought approximately 150 puffy balls to glue on an old beanie, some sparkly felt and a red long sleeve t-shirt.
An voila! Here we have it folks...an adult version of the gumball machine costume! Now, am I as cute as the baby version? Ehhh not quite. However, I got a few high five and a few "that's an awesome costume" and "oh my Godddd, she's a gumball machineeee!" So overall, the costume and the party was a huge success! I laughed more than I have laughed in a good ten years and I got to spend a day in the life of a 20 something again! Now could I do this every weekend? Most definitely not...but every once in a while...it's fun to be a kid again!!
