#ThrowBackThursday: Halloween

                                    

I didn't dress up last year for Halloween but this year I definitely had to. It has been years since I really threw on a costume. And if Im not mistaken, the last time I went trick or treating, I was 13 and I was a princess. This year I was Catwoman! I wasn't the all black suit, cat ear head band type of Catwoman. I love the color pink and I also wanted to show my support for Breast Cancer Awareness figuring that Halloween is the last day of October. Two weeks before Halloween I had completely no idea who I was going to be. I had no costume. No makeup ideas. Nothing.

I came home from class one day and my Mom went to a local thrift store and found this velvet pink and black cat suit. Now it could be used for anything I'm sure but when my mother and I saw it, we thought oh this could be a Catwoman costume. I tried it on (after washing it of course) and it fit perfectly. Now all I had to do was research makeup ideas. Find shoes and of course, a mask. 

At first, I wasn't going to wear any makeup. I have very sensitive skin and I was fearful of making whiskers and a nose out of my Stila eyeliner. But then when I got closer to Halloween and viewed more Catwoman makeup tutorials I gained more confidence but I still didn't do it. I felt like people could still tell I was Catwoman even without the whiskers and the cat nose. 

So here's the my Catwoman costume!

                                 

You can see that its a Pink-ish, Purple-ish color. I got my mask from the Dollar Tree. It perfectly matched my costume which I loved! The mesh part you see in the middle is see through and when worn you can see the belly area. What I most loved about this costume is the straps. It really wasn't that cold in my hometown but later in the night I had to wear a light jacket. The mask kind of made me feel weird so I could'nt wear it all day but I wore it when I went trick or treating hehe. 

Costume: Thrift Store
