Indian Costume For Parties

Are you aware that halloween stores run clearances before it's even October? I wasn't but now I am a fan! The hubby, toddler, and I went on a trip to the halloween store yesterday. We ended picking up a play costume for Elena. Even though I made one myself, it turns out that it is beautiful to look at and put her in but she can't really play in it. Not to mention, it creates a glitter bomb in my house just breathing on it. (; Not so practical when attending halloween parties at friends' houses. So anyways, I was completely blown away to find a clearance section a halloween store. It was even better that my favorite costume I found for Elena was marked down to a cool ten dollars -SCORE! 

So I have two Disney inspire costumes for her this year; Pocahontas & Tinkerbell.

I'd say she's a lucky girl either way and I'm a lucky mommy :)

Tinkerbell Halloween Homemade Costuming

When I think of homemade costumes I think of falling apart, ragged, crappy looking 80s prom dresses that your mom took in and hemmed to fit you when you were eight years old. I never  thought that I would be making my daughter her Halloween costume now but that day has come my friends, scared yet? The truth is it was easy and actually turned out really nicely, much to my memory's dismay ;). 

And so Elena will be Tinkerbell this year, much to my hubby's dismay. He somehow got it in his head that we were going to be a zombie family. Just wait till he finds out that he's going to be Peter Pan... Hehe in tights! What kind of homemade costumes will all of you be making?
