Today I flipped my calendar page and suddenly it hit me: It’s August. The year is more than half over, kids are heading back to school in a matter of days, the days are getting shorter not longer… and the most important sign that Summer’s almost over? Seeing those “Christmas in July” mailings show up in my inbox. You know it’s almost Fall once Christmas is on the radar again!
Personally, I’m much more excited about Halloween than Christmas. And lucky for me, it’s coming up fast! My absolute favorite part of Halloween is seeing all of the creative costumes people come up with. Last year some of my favorites were, in no particular order: A giant Tiffany’s box, Lady Gaga, the Energizer Bunny, Flo from the Progressive commercials and Hawaiian Punch (okay, that was my costume, but I loved it!).
While I love going to Halloween parties and seeing all of my friends’ clever costumes, it’s even more fun sitting on my porch on Halloween eve watching all of the little trick or treaters parade down the sidewalk in their adorable outfits. There’s nothing cuter than a little kid in an animal costume or dressed up as their favorite cartoon character.
And have you ever seen anything quite as adorable as this baby dressed as a sushi roll?!!
With so many costumes out there, sometimes it’s hard to narrow the choices down. That’s why we’ve gathered 15 of the best Halloween costumes from all over the Web and put them all in one place for your browsing pleasure.
