Little Red & Co.

Halloween is one of those holidays that I mentally plan for all year long and then scramble at the last minute to finish my costume...mostly because I have a unique partner in crime.

While most people are busy getting couple's costumes for themselves and their boyfriend or themed costumes for themselves and their kids, all my costumes are partnered with my baby girl Darcie.

This year we dressed as Little Red & Co. (aka the wolf in grandma's clothes). You can never go wrong with a storybook couple's costume.

Just a tip: Most of this came straight out of the closet. I highly recommend looking through your closet before going out to buy an entire costume. You can often piece together things that you already have and save your money for the essential parts, like fabric for a red cape. Also, for accessories, try to first shop your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, CCA, or DI.

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood Costume:

• Black T-shirt- LOFT
• Plaid Skirt- LOFT
• Black Striped Tights- LOFT
• Black Heeled Oxfords- DSW
• Red Cape- I sewed the simplest cape I could find by McCall's
• Basket- Goodwill 

The package said it could be made in 2 hours. It took me over a month.

The cutest bad wolf

Wolf in Grandma's clothes: 

• Glasses- Party City
• Hat- I made from scratch (without a pattern!)
• Shawl- scarf from LOFT

I thought you might enjoy some photographic evidence of how much Darcie hates Halloween, and how much I get a kick out of it :)
