I was almost scared to open this thread since I'm at work!

She looks GORGEOUS Awesome costume choice - love the money saving What you gonna do this year?

I dont know yet... I was thinking since my boys have hockey jerseys, and equipment, dress up like a hockey player and Kenadie has a pink tutu so maybe we can add to it and she can be their cheerleader??? When they were smaller and played dress up all the time with all their costumes I was OK with buying costumes, but now it is literally a one time thing. How can I justify spending $40 on each costume X3 so like $120 for them to be worn once and not fit them again the following year This is me trying to be frugal

 

[everdreaming]

it's impossible with dressing up things!! I was such a spoiled child, I'd get a disney costume for my birthday every year - my bridesmaids dress at my parent's wedding was Ariel's (from the Little Mermaid) wedding dress from the Disney store!

That sounds like an excellent idea At such a young age do they really get the importance of having store-bought clothes anyway? That's just my opinion anyway. (this is the frugal 21 year old who has dressed as a witch from Charmed for the past few years - no need for costume just something busty )

LOL witch from Charmed. I'm loving it.

Kiki - I totally agree with the need to be frugal in this economy. Have you thought about shopping at local thrift shops? I pick around mine to find vintage clothing and props for photo shoots etc and I'm seeing truck loads of Halloween costumes, all of them in amazing shape because, like you said, they're only used once before they don't fit anymore. Paying $7.25 (or less) is a GREAT alternative to paying $120 or more.
