Chatting with my mom the other day, she reminded me what a last minute/procrastinator I CAN be. Honestly I took the accusation quite personally (acting as if I wasn’t already aware). For a second I let those words creep in (that second can do a lot of damage) and began to question my self worth on the small fact that I tend to arrive exactly on time or 5 fashionable minutes late to almost everything.

Last Minute Halloween Costume Under $20
Ah, it is the best time of year…that’s right, HALLOWEEN! I LOVE Halloween (let’s be honest, I love any occasion to dress over the top and go full glam)! Every year, I attempt to out-do my prior year’s costume, so I truly can’t wait to share this weekend’s look with y’all!
