Halloween is like Christmas for thrift shops. People come in droves to find inexpensive unique costumes and that’s a good thing BUT I’ll be happy when things go back to normal in a week or so. Naturally, I thrift costumes for me and my family every year. This year, I spent just over $100 to outfit all five of us BUT that included several pieces that will get lots of wear after Halloween! First up, my *adorable* children who are hopped up on sugar and time change still...
Princess Buttercup. It was going to be a princess one way or another so at least she veered away from Disney.Annnnddd shortly after this she threw up at her school Halloween party. #winningHe’s a 7-year-old man’s man and wanted to carry a Nerf gun, what can I say. From a practical perspective, he can wear all these pieces any time (minus the gun) – the vest is even reversible!And he even got a fresh hair cut.“Mom, can I be the Joker for Halloween?” Me, noting the perfect-condition Jacob purple coat in my size… “I guess so as long as I can have that coat afterwards.” I’m basically a makeup artist. PS. He can wear the plaid top and pants again!
As for Ma and Pa, well, we were inspired by an 80’s classic…
I must admit, it was kinda fun to be a bobbed-redhead for a night!
Vintage silver earrings! Thanks She Does Create for lending them to Janine!
Trick or treating!My hubby snuck out of our friends’ Halloween party to put a pumpkin on his head and light it on fire… all in the name of good fun scaring the crap out of her when she opened the door!
