Maybe I sound like a mom here (which I am) but I cringe when I see young women is super skimpy costumes. When I was growing up, we always wore handmade costumes. I can remember being the Cat in Hat, a clown, and a gypsy. My mom would ask me what I wanted to be and then she’d help me create the whole look. I smile thinking about those Halloweens. In those days it wasn’t about showing a lot of skin– it was about looking cute and staying warm in a chilly October night!
