So, what's a girl to do when in need of a last-minute Halloween costume that must be created from things she already owns? Well, if "things she already owns" include a hot pink crinoline and a purple wig (don't ask), I think we all know what's next
It's been a "few" years since I could credibly claim even attending any sort of school, let alone wearing a uniform.
