In our first ever edition of UTB's What Not To Wear, we take a look at the Halloween costumes that all you crazy Penn kids came up with. And what better way to do that than with a comprehensive costume report card? Read on, friends. You may even catch a drunken photo of yourself that you don't remember us taking. Oooooh, scary.

That's all for our epic Halloween edition of What Not To Wear. For those of you who didn't make the list, we apologize. For those of you who are bound to get upset that not many females were featured, you should apologize to us for not wearing funnier costumes that we could both compliment and insult at the same time. By this we mean, no more Minnie Mouse or M&M costumes. Yawn.
Until next year... xoxo UTB
