Throwback: Couples Halloween Costumes

October 8, 2015

Halloween is my favorite for so many reasons. I look forward to this time of year and, more specifically, to Halloween more than just about anything year after year! If I don’t get my fix of scary movies, spooky tunes, Halloween treats, and dressing up, you can bet the scariest thing of the entire month will be my attitude! Almost every year we’ve been together, save for a few, Jeremy and I have put together a themed couples costume. We have so much fun in the process, usually thrifting items or otherwise finding ways to DIY our ensembles. And since we’ve had Rosie, we try to incorporate her, too!

One thing I want to point out is that couples costumes don’t have to be difficult or expensive. Almost every year, we’ve been able to put together our costumes with pieces we already have on hand, or items we’ve thrifted, borrowed, or purchased for cheap!

In need of some inspiration for your couples costume this year? Let’s take a walk down memory lane!

2011: Alice & The Mad Hatter

    […] As you may have gathered, we LOVE Halloween. How will you be celebrating this year? If you’re looking for some inspiration, consider listening to our Halloween Playlist, watching a few horror movies you probably haven’t seen before, reading a spooky story or two, making some delicious autumn treats, indulging in a spicy Bloody Mary, or throwing together a last minute costume!

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
