I never repeated a costume until after high school.
Kindergarten: Bugs Bunny
1rst Grade: Fairy; totally my mom’s choice.
2nd Grade: Skeleton; though I was embarrassed by it because I had to wear plain white face paint that looked idiotic since my mom refused to allow me to wear a mask.
3rd Grade: Nala from The Lion King
4th Grade: a witch
5th Grade: A Green M&M
6th Grade: The thing from Scream although I’ve never seen the films hehe.
7th Grade: The devil to my best friend’s angel (though I was unhappy that it was a female designed costume which was a dress garment because it was all the store had I dealt with it because we’d intended the complimentary theme).
8th Grade: A surgeon.
9th Grade: a bat
10th Grade: Scooby Doo but a costume homemade by a friend which I’m sorry to say was kinda bad.
11th Grade: The Cat in the Hat
12th Grade: A werewolf.
The only costume I’ve ever repeated which has been in recent years is a vampire. I have all the stuff and it’s totally reusable so it’s just easy and inexpensive.
Though this year I’m wearing a skeleton long-sleeved shirt, gloves and a mask. Not the best put together costume but it’s something, I’d waited until a little too late. I’ll get as elaborate with it as I’d intended next year.
