As I sit here eating my kids’ Halloween bounty, I’m a little relieved that the day is done and my VV Boutique can return to what I think is its true glory (in my humble opinion!) – great finds at great prices for everyday style. However, I do acknowledge that Value Village is known for good reason for their awesome Halloween costume and decor selection. Naturally, my costume came from VV Boutique!
I actually had a few different costumes (this one wasn’t exactly preschool appropriate, though last year, some moms thought a skimpy cocktail dress was preschool appropriate as long as you had wings and green eyeliner), but I wore this one to an adult-in-disguise family party! Preparing for it, I tried on this blue satin number that I purchased from VV Boutique way back in 2003 when a group of friends and I went together as a “White Trash Wedding Party.”
2003 was a long time ago my friends. Since then, I gained 50+ pounds with each of my three pregnancies and this blue satin number has sat in the dress-up clothes with little hope of ever fitting over my rear end. But lo and behold, when I went to try it on recently just for funsies, it fit! My 2-year-old daughter looked up at me and said, “Mommy you’re beautiful. How’d you do that?” Must be the dress!
She doesn’t know anything about trends or style, but she knows a beautiful dress (and a beautiful mommy!) when she sees one! Wise girl.

I would’ve really loved to see your Halloween hair as well, Nicole. Do you still have photos? 🙂
