Do You Have a Thrifty Costume?

by Karen on October 29th, 2006

Do you or your child have a thrifty costume this year?  If so, please email me a picture and some details.  Please include how you acquired it (yard sale, consignment store, hammy down, etc.) and how much it cost.  I will be posting some of these pictures and deals later this week.  Check back later. 

Until then, here are my thrifty finds.

What a face!  This is my 15 month old son.  He is dressed as Pooh, who is dressed as a bee.  My aunt used to work at the Disney Store.  She got this cute costume for about $5-6 after Halloween a few years ago.  My daughter also wore this for her second Halloween.  The only problem is that the shimmery stuff on the wings started coming off before she even wore it, so we had to peel it off.

Another silly face for you.  She was squinting in the other pictures.  When we told her to stop, she tried to pull her eyes open.  Silly girl!  This is my 3 year old daughter.  I got this costume at a consignment sale.  I can’t remember if it is Old Navy or Gap.  The great thing about this costume is that it has a separate one piece black fleece suit which I think would be great for playing outside on a cool day.  You could also use a pair of thin black pants and shirt instead of the fleece if you had a warm Halloween day.  This was a great deal at $4.
