Drug Awareness Week at KHIS

As many of you know, I work at Kahuku High and Intermediate School in Kahuku. What you may or may not know is that I like to dress up. I just don't have a lot of opportunities to do so which is why my dress up skills are not up to par as some of the other people I know that are amazing at it. 

The week before Halloween at work/school was deemed "Drug Awareness Week" with different themes on certain days. The first day had something to do with Ninjas and wearing black. I can't remember the specifics right now. 

As you can see, I totally remembered last minute and just dressed all in black. I also don't know how to pose like a ninja. My brother totally made fun of me and told me I wasn't Asian. 

(My response is a whole 'nother post)

 The next day was black and yellow. I took a picture with some other faculty members that also dressed up.

 After that was 80's Day. Why? I don't remember. I tried looking for different outfits I had at home to look 80's-ish and Googled for ideas. All I really saw was skirts or tutu's over leggings/shorts. This was as close as I got and I really wanted to wear my orange high tops Converse. But it doesn't match so I wore my black Converse shoes.

 Luckily, I had posted the above picture on Instagram and my "twin", Mariko, saw and offered to lend me some clothes. Now, I KNOW you know that I DO NOT WEAR PINK. EVER. But since this was for fun and to show school spirit and basically a costume, I put on a PINK skirt! over these leggings. Thankfully they were both stretchy! I don't know how I was going to fit in her skinny clothes if they didn't stretch!

I love how people still mistake us for each other or think we are related.

I had to show off our shoes and I look skinny-er in the other! :P

 Monday was "Dress up as (your favorite) candy or wear brown/white for chocolate Day".

I just flipped my shirt inside out and had masking tape on it at first to make an "S" but it looked more like a "5" so Mariko cut me out an "S" and I used my masking tape to stick it on. I know it's GHETTO but I thought it was funny. Most of the kids/students were confused or if they did get it, they thought it was hilarious.

 "Nerd Day" was a day that I definitely had a LOT of fun with. I borrowed suspenders from my friend Elizza and glasses from Nisi. I found a button up shirt that I forgot I had and fortunately, it still fit...for the most part. I had to wear shirt underneath! lol . *sigh*
I put my outfit together and couldn't decide if I should do my hair in braided pigtails or not. Thanks to my Instagram and Facebook friends who helped me decide which hairstyle looked better. 
My friend Cheryl even found some orange ribbons for me to tie around my pigtails! 
The tie is one of Aaron's clip on ties which actually worked out perfectly! 

 Raya was still up when I was trying on my nerd outfit and loved putting on those glasses.

 I found some nerds to take pictures with!

  "Smarties Don't Do Drugs!"

 I'm so short that pulling up my pants made my torso even shorter! Good thing the tie was short as well. Thanks Aaron!

 David took the picture on the left right before I left for work and noticed my tie was flapping in the wind so he busted out a tie clip for me to round out my outfit. He wanted my pants to go higher so that I could get the highwaters going on but unfortunately, I also have short legs and long pants so that didn't work out too well!
Look! I found a nerd in the office!

 The best comment I had all day that had me laugh out loud was a friend on Facebook. He said that our "awesome nerd outfits are making me rethink my Sunday church outfits!" HAHA!

The next day was Halloween and so we could dress up in our Halloween costumes. Since it took forever to get ready for Nerd Day I decided I wanted to so something quick and simple. Thank you Google and Martha Stewart for the idea!
I pinned a "pi" on my orange shirt and I was "Pumpkin Pi(e)"! HAHAHAHA!!
I thought it was funny. Most people got it and some didn't, probably because my orange shirt wasn't very pumpkin-y. Oh well. I thought it was "punny". hee hee.
My "twin" M-Arrr-iko the pirate. (Thanks Daniel H. for the pirate pun! hahaha!!)

Lisa the Soccer Queen!

I love how skinny I look next to her! Thanks for blocking half of me!

 Our "Say Boo to Drugs" decorated door for Advisory.
We couldn't figure out how some of the drugs looked and they had to think hard about what kind of drugs were out there. It was funny trying to figure out which end the cigarette smoke came out of. Oh, I love my 8th graders in Advisory...well most of them. But they all made a poster whether they wanted to or not. Some got really into it and helped make the door what it is!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Coming up next is Halloween Yuen style!
