"I've always loved playing dress-up. Give me a costume and a reason to wear it, and I'm in my happy place. That's probably why Halloween is my favorite holiday. It's the one time of year when pretending to be someone or something else isn't just acceptable, it's encouraged. One of my favorite costumes goes back to preschool: a butterfly my Aunt Cindy made from scratch with canvas fabric, sewing skills, and spray paint."
"As a kid in school plays and later in drama club, I was always "saving" a dress or accessory for the next performance. By my early 20s in New York City, bouncing between apartments and boroughs, I'd officially designated one big suitcase as my costume trunk - packed with accessories, wigs, and outfits for Halloween, Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve, or any random theme party that might pop up."
Sara Lyle has loved dressing up since childhood, starting with a preschool butterfly costume made by her aunt. She designated a suitcase as her costume trunk in her 20s while living in New York City and accumulated accessories, wigs, and outfits for holidays and theme parties. The collection briefly grew to two trunks but was downsized after moves to Singapore and Florida and life changes. The remaining hard-sided Samsonite now sits in a Colorado closet. Her youngest biological son shares the passion for dressing up and orders multiple character costumes while embracing a signature bow-tie style.
