I'm a mouse, duh

Who doesn't love the cliche halloween outfits in high school/college?
All Hallows eve is a week away people! Start planning ;)
Especially if you are in college. Halloween is on a thursday. You are welcome.
3 nights? 3 outfits? Lets do this.

While some of us don't like the super reveling outfits and like to do something fun while still looking like a hot commodity, check out some of my recommendations and side comments that may or may not dis certain outfits. 

1. Sandy (Grease)
So maybe you don't have your Danny Zuko to be your bad man thunderbird dude, but hey if you check out that frat party thursday night, you could be his pink lady! You don't need to spend a bajillion dolla dolla bills ya'll to be this bamf of a lady. Have an american apparel leotard? Or even one from dancing? Top complete. Find some leather leggings, or even regular ones (I bought some at pacsun!), and there is your sassy fittin' pants. Red pumps. Any. Jackets optional because we all know how sweaty frat houses are. Optional: Red Lipstick, hoop earrings, and some curls. Don't have blonde hair? Dont worry. Transformation Thursday the ish out of Sandra Dee.
Fun fact: I'm potentially trying out this outfit this halloween, make sure to check out my halloween outfit on the blog!

2. Pageant princess
This is Hannah Brewer, Miss MD teen USA 2013. This is probably the easiest outfit you could ever come up with. Find a sassy dress, pumps, look super fly, and get a crown and sash. I was Miss USA a few years ago (since I love pageants. See here), and people thought it fit me so well.
NOTE: If you are going to wear a "toddlers and tiara's outfit", please do not converse with me. I think these outfits are a disgrace. Slash....why would ya want to walk around with a pacifier? Ain't nobody got time for that.
How patriotic am I?

3. Walk of Shame
How fitting for you college ladies. No I'm not calling you out. Ummm are you guilty or something? Kidding!!!!! We've at least witnessed this at one point or another on our college campuses. You can either just wear a large shirt and hair up/messy, as well as your make up or go with the I had a slumber party with a manly man who wheres hot button downs aka oh wait he's only a frat-star. You know what I'm saying. Borrow a friends big buttondown shirt, wear short/short-skirt/spandex, and heels. Ya know the look I'm talking about ;) Heck, I even did it in my junior year of high school. Recipe for humiliation and disaster. 

I hope I gave you some solid inspiration and hope for your potential outfits this 31st of october. If not, I hope I graced your presence with my weird-ness and made you realize what you don't want to be for halloween. Want to be a provocative bumble-bee, cat, or mouse? You do you, Glenn Coco.

How and what to pack for college

Let me be honest, I thought packing would be easier the second time around. I am also probably the worst person to help you pack for college, so have fun and I hope I waste a few minutes of your time. If you skip over this post because quite frankly, this means nothing to you, rock on. I get it. 
If you are a college freshie jumping into the wonderful world of college, or even an upperclassman who has no clue what to stick into your plastic storagebin next, grab your wine coffee(?), or anything caffeinated and lets get it started in here.




H&M Blazer: ONLY $10! I've had a blazer for over 2 years (from Urban) and it's still in perf condition! You are going to need one wether for a job interview, spicing up a cute outfit, or just to walk around campus to make it look like you are official and have a job/internship. You'll need it, I promise! If you want a better quality one obviously check out J.Crew, Banana Republic. Ya know the drill.





LBD, but obviously. 
I love the ones from Dress Up Boutique (Only $19, get it now) and Nordstrom
Reasons why you need a LBD? must I even explain? Formals/Date Party/Ceremonies/Casual days/interviews/party rockin'/and so many more.

+  A MANY lazy outfits. Duh. Please don't be that girl that dresses up every day to go to class. #Leggings&GymShorts
+  A bathing suit. Ya never know when you'll need it
+  Random shirts and bottoms you think you'd never need. Super Hero Mixer? Better be packing your batman shirt. Neon American Apparel Spandex? Highlighter/Neon party, you know it. Frayed "Rocker-T?" Last minute halloween outfit, courtesy of your closet!

Dont ya just love my blonde frizzy hair?!
