As much as I loved Halloween as a child, I just can't get into it as an adult. Sure, I still love the idea of getting dressed up, walking around on a scary night and coming back with bags of candy. However, now I can just go to the store whenever I want candy, and (unfortunately) I can eat as much as I want.
I don't get excited over dressing up either. Maybe it's because I always decide to go to Halloween parties at the last minute, so when my girl friends are dressed up like the Black Swan or Jackie Joyner Kersee, I go as a black cat or as "the girl in jeans and a t-shirt with fairy wings attached to her back". So, for any of you who are lazy/ last minute planners like me, I thought I'd share my "go-to" options. :) (I also just wanted a reason showcase these adorable masks and ears that I saw on Asos. However, over the weekend, they sold out of the two above, so I've included links to a few others.)
I'm really envious of those of you who are parents and get to take your kids trick-or-treating. I feel like that's the best way to enjoy Halloween as an adult. Hope you enjoy!
I'm not so much into Hallooween or dressing up either. Most likely because I didn't grow up trick-re-treating. I love to watch the kids dressed up though.

I am not a huge Halloween person. I don't think I have dressed up in four years! These are great last minute ideas!

Cute and easy! I was leaning toward the cat/leopard or something!

I am so happy to hear that I am not alone in the "not so crazy about dressing up for Halloween" camp. Los Angelenos go bonkers over Halloween. They really get into it. Going as a cat is perfect for people like us. Although I think I am staying in this year. Those cat ears are adorable. I especially like the leopard ones.
