My Halloween costume this year is Mafia Spy Woman. My original idea was to ignore Halloween, but don any old thing we had in our abode for handing out treats to the young ones. I was then invited to a costume gathering and had very little time to throw together a costume. I considered many outfits and requested ideas from my family and friends.
The first person I got opinions from was my mother. She gave me two ideas: making a duct tape costume and a jellyfish. Making a duct tape costume in only one week seemed like too much labor. For the jellyfish costume she suggested I locate an umbrella and attach streamers to it. She even had the courage to suggest I get a clear umbrella because "I could have sooo much fun with it!" There are a few things in the wrong with that. First, would I fancy carrying that umbrella around all night? I do not care to think so. Second, am I a mere five year-old? Where did you get that idea, mother? Family Fun? No way would I receive any respect for that outfit. I talked to another friend who wanted me to be a bumblebee which was not that bad of an idea but I had no time. Finally, when my friend was driving me to ballet, I suggested that she should assist me with finding a costume idea. She rambled on with ideas until I heard the golden word: Mafia. It was supreme! I had found my Hallow's Eve costume!
My costume consists of a black cocktail dress underneath a light blue trench coat. I will acessorize with a fedora, black high heels and a Nerf gun. On the actual day of Halloween, I am chaperoning my little neighbors around the vicinity our community. It will be cold and I may include a pair of black tights in my undercover fashion statement. To carry my rewards for traversing the neighborhood in painful shoes, I am planning on pilfering my mother's briefcase. I am expecting this will be a succesfull Halloween.
Good job. You made good use of formal diction. I liked the pictures you put up too, they added to the imagery of your writing.
