Ghosts of Halloween Past

I'm usually pretty unmotivated when it comes to choosing a Halloween costume, and this Halloween isn't any different. But this time it's because I literally peaked last year, and had the costume of all costumes and I will never be able to top it.

Halloween is supposed to be the day where you get to be whatever you want and I don't think any other costume captures my hopes and dreams as much as this one. 

Since it's Halloween today and all I've got to show for it is a midterm and a deep refusal to be an outfit-repeater, I think this year might be more low key (i.e. I'll probably be in pajamas on my sofa).

But I'll never forget those grande memories of being Starbucks.

If Starbucks speaks to you the way it does to me, here's how I made the costume: 

To make this costume I just asked my Starbucks friends for about 10 cups and cup sleeves.

I cut the cups in half and sort of flattened them. The front halves of the cup formed the front of my top, and the backs obviously made the back (there was a good amount of tape involved). I just arranged the cups into the shape of a shirt I wanted and attached them together.

Then I attached the Starbucks sleeves around my waist like a belt and stapled the rest around the edge of the tutu.
