"A" Costume

HELP!  Friday night is my last themed date function as a member of my sorority.  The theme is going to be "A-P-H-I."  Each pledge class is assigned a letter, ours is A.  So basically, I can dress up as ANYTHING beginning with the letter A.  My date and I have been brainstorming a bit.  Do any of y'all have good "A" ideas?

For inspiration, I thought it would be fun to show you some of my favorite costumes over the last 4 years!  Enjoy!

Do you have a favorite?

As you probably noticed, I've gotten a lot more into costumes this year.  I really want to make this last one special, so please comment with any and all "A" ideas!!

Additionally, I'd like to thank What Miss Loves  AND Sweet, Sassy, Southern and Classy for giving me the "Stylish Blogger Award."  I could not be more flattered, especially considering how new I am to this blogging gig!  The directions for the award are to:  1) Link back and thank the person who gave you the award 2) Share 7 random facts about yourself and 3) Award 5 other bloggers.  Read below for my 7 facts and the 5 bloggers I am awarding.


  1. I have grown up in the house my grandparents built when they were first married
  2. I played volleyball all through middle and high school, but sadly don't have the time to commit to a team here at UVA
  3. I have such varied interests that it is often hard for me to make decisions.  For example, I had a few meltdowns over trying to choose a major.  I ultimately decided on psychology, but know I could have been just as happy in many different majors (art history, anthropology, commerce, etc)
  4. I am an only child, however, when I was 11 we took in my 3 younger cousins because my aunt and uncle passed away.  Our family doubled over night.  My dad jokingly calls my cousins our big inheritance.
  5. I hate cats (sorry to any followers or blog friends that own and love cats)
  6. I'm very forgiving, so much so that it sometimes results in my getting hurt.
  7. I want to be a teacher, and maybe a few other things in the career world, but more than anything I want to be a mom.  I want two mischievous boys and a baby girl.
I award:  The Southland LifeShorely ChicLiving Life in LimboSoulshine, and Miss Southern Prep.  I had a really tough time just picking 5-- so many of you have wonderful blogs!  

Whew, this was a long one!  If you've made it this far, please don't forget to share any good "A" costume ideas!
