Halloween 2011

This is what I wore to work

Kinda wish I had worn it for the ward party, too

Brandi went as a Nerd

All the gang at work

Ok.

I wanted to be a piece of candy.

I choose candy corn because in my mind I had a really awesome idea

and it looked really, really pretty and clever, and cute.

And easy to do.

Some orange tights for the orange bottom of the candy

A fluffy tutu for cuteness

A yellow shirt for the yellow middle (and I already had one)

A white hat for the white top part

I looked in the mirror after I got dressed and knew it wasn't what I was going for.

But I had no time to change because we were already late because I had run some errands after school

So when people guessed I was a duck-

"What a cute duck, why do I never think of these cute ideas?'

"Oh I love your feathers!"

"Not sure what you are, but it is totally you"

Only one person walked around the corner, saw me and said

"Candy corn! I love it!"

(but I suspect he overheard me explaining it to someone else, even though he insists he

knew the minute he saw me)

But I did see a costume that helped me figure out how to do a peacock

and I have wanted to do a peacock of years and years.

So maybe next year there will be no epic fail of a costume

(and besides, this picture makes me look totally fat

and you can't tell I have lost 30+ pounds since May)

Jessica, Allison (Brandi's friend), Brandi

Allison as a Zombie

Brandi as a Nerd

Brandi by herself

Jessica decided at the last moment how she wanted to dress.

She choose to go as Kerli-- a singer from Astonia or somewhere like that

I think she did an amazing job

And here is proof that Jess can wear anything and look good

Even a garbage sack!!
