I love dressing up and pretending to be someone else. Growing up, I didn't even know you could buy costumes because my mom always either made mine or we found some get up in the play clothes that transformed me into a Wealthy Old Maid (one of my favorites), a Black Cat (my last time out trick-or-treating), or Pinnochio (that costume was horrible by the way, mom; but I realize that Shelby had been born three weeks before Halloween that year so I now understand why we had no costumes until the night before).

No one is more surprised than me that I am actually considering making Jack a costume (emphasis should probably be on the word considering), but I found a feather boa at The Dollar Tree and now I am actually considering it! The hard part is finding black clothes for a baby - but he could be a navy blue skunk, right? It's Halloween after all! Anyone can be anything!

Black clothes for babies are SO hard to find... but I actually found black baby pants at Target the other day!!! They were on an end cap with some halloween hats and bibs. I think they were $4.99. Might be worth checking into! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! That might be good even if I just do the pumpkin (which is beginning to look more and more like the reality - ha!).
ReplyDeleteToo cute! My mom STILL has the costume she made for me in first grade (that's 1990, people!)--a little skirt and cape that made me into a very adorable little witch.
ReplyDeleteSam is opposed to dressing babies as pumpkins (why? I don't know) so we've bought a few cute costumes. Annie was a penguin, then a dalmatian, and this year a candy corn. I'm trying to stay gender-neutral so we can keep passing them down to Sammy.
Jack will make an adorable skunk--you might just have to put him in black leggings!
