being the person that HAS to dress up every halloween i was a bit nervous when the 27th of october rolled around and we still had no idea what we were going to dress up as. i tried to think of famous couples that we could emulate with the least amount of effort- barbie and ken came to mind. realizing that i had nothing pink we ran to D.I. where i found the oh-so-barbie bag as seen in the picture. can i just say that the provo D.I. is EXTREMELY picked over? so disappointing. but kimball came up with a great idea to do preppy barbie and ken! so we headed home and rummaged through our closets. this is what we found :) the one of two articles of pink clothing i own and a skirt i bought a long time ago at a thrift store. kimball had no problem finding some pleated khakis and a polo ;) after stealing a pink scrunchy from my roommate as well as the bright blue eye shadow we were pretty much good to go.
we tried to look barbie-ish and plastic but it didn't go over perfectly seeing that people asked us if we were "a suburban couple from the 80's"...i guess that's partially right! others got it and thought it was cute. for a last minute costume comprised of our own clothes i think we did just dandy.
i'm happy to have a finace who is willing to look silly with me :) because i am blessed.
Props to you both. You're very convincing in the picture. If only you had been able to rent a hot pink convertible for the evening - there would have been no mistaking your identities.
