Bunny (a clearance find from Gymboree):
Peacock (my all-time favorite, from Babystyle):
Little Bo Peep (from Chasing Fireflies):
"A Scarecrow Princess" (aka I wanted her to be a scarecrow; she wanted to be a princess; we compromised; from Yaya Papaya):
Mermaid (her choice, from Amazon):
I'm seeing lots of fun costumes this year, too.
From Chasing Fireflies, which always has beautifully detailed costumes:
(my youngest already has this one in the closet, thanks to last year's post-Halloween sale)
From Uniquery on Etsy, these sweet garden gnomes:
From Not The Kitchen Sink on Etsy, baby sushi:
From The Miniature Knit Shop on Etsy, these gorgeous infant outfits:
(notice the knitted guns!)
And hey, if spending $410 on your child's Halloween costume is doable for you, check out this gorgeous mermaid from Posh Tots:
Have you started thinking about Halloween? For those of you who buy costumes, what are your favorite sources?
How do you choose?? Shouldn't we have a Halloween week? Giant parades every day so we can wear something new the next day? Love the Peacock costume. And the bright orange fairy from Chasing Fireflies!! Our all-time fave a few years ago for our youngest son was Roly Poly Olie - it had a ginormous round smoochie head. And one year Arielle went as Jo Jo from Jo Jo's Circus - wish they would have had a costume like that for me!! Our source: second hand stores, like those that specialize in children's clothes. They usually are in fantastic shape because they have only been worn once.

Cute costume ideas, Michele! Yes, I always scour children's consignment and resale stores as well and re-sell my own costumes there, too. Luckily, with three girls, our costumes get handed down and thrice the use! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd between our neighborhood costume parade, their school costume parade, playgroup parties, and Halloween itself, I think we pretty much do have a Halloween week...it takes certain children awhile to come down off the sugar high!
