I have long disliked Hallowe’en. It is complicated, but let me just say I still like to include the apostrophe and that the day AFTER Halloween can be hard for teachers. When I taught elementary school, we didn’t dress up – had pyjama day instead.
Middle school is a whole different kettle of fish. It is not as smelly as that implies, but we take Hallowe’en seriously. And I finally have a costume I am excited about.
I found this gem at Macy’s.
I already had the perfect teacup.
If you still can’t figure it out, maybe this photo will give you a better idea.
I’ll post a picture of me in full D.U. regalia tomorrow. I intend to channel her spirit as I teach. I hope the kids enjoy my Halloween hijinx.

Have a wonderful Hallowe’en dressing up for high tea. I have to say I love Halloween!
You are awesome! Try not to be totally mean to those kids, Professor Umbridge. Whereâs your cat? Love you,debra
I might paste cat faces on my bassets. I will definitely mess with the kids more than a little. I am going to enjoy channelling her.
That’s a fabulous costume! Can’t wait to see pictures.
I am not looking forward to tomorrow at all! LOL
Oh, what a fabulous costume! Have so much FUN with this, Professor Umbridge!
I applaud your commitment, and I look forward to the, um, penumbrage you’ll cast on Wednesday.
