Halloween 2011

I dont believe in wasting whole money for costumes that my daughter is only gonna wear for 1 day. i am all about DIY costumes. For halloween this yr my daughter wanted to be a kitty. What i did was let her her a black body suit, a ballerina skirt, and a pair of black leggings (all items she happened to have in her closet) The only item i had to purchase was a pair of kitten ears which was 50 cent, and a kitty tail which was $3.99 at a costume store down the street from my house. I drew some whiskers and a nose using some mascara and BAM....a cute lil kitty that everyone loved. Originally the body suit costed $2.99  which i bought because it was getting cold, the ballerina skirt was $3.99 and the leggings were 99cents....my total for the costume was $12.46.  Her outfit is an outfit she can continue to wear throughout the yr. In this tough economy you have to look for bargains where you can and utilize the options that are out there. Dont be afraid to utilize your local Goodwill and thrift shops. Save a bundle while still looking good and fabolou
