Halloween is coming soon, y’all. Being the SAHM I am right now a $3,000 costume isn’t in my budget, so, I tell my little diva as we are watching “Pitch Perfect” (yes- we are some serious addicts, love music movies…. We just love music) that perhaps we should get some ideas from Pinterest for inspiration. My darlin’ Kens graciously agrees… (Score for Momma because the kid is an only child with everything she could imagine!) When people ask her what she wants for birthday or Christmas and she says “I have everything I need, just call me & tell me you love me and that is good enough.” I am SO blessed to have such a humble youngin’!
Anyways, our inspiration from Pinterest was this:
Here again folks, cute costume, wasn’t willing to pay $35.00 for it though…. So, me being this newfound thrifty momma (haven’t always been like this, use to, if I wanted I had, period. That was the end of it… Amazing how life changes when you turn 30, or, hmmm, 25 again….)
So- Kensie and I drove over to Walmart found leggings & a shirt for like $9/ish TOTAL with tax, then, we were done, take a look. She will wear her normal tennis shoes & we are calling this costume “80’s Cali Girl”. K came up with the name. Jewelry was my costume jewelry from high school, at least someone is using it.
So- what do y’all think? Does this city girl have a knack or what? (Here’s a hint- I was a musical theater student in high school.) 🙂
Until next time!

Awwww! Thank you! (I say she knows it but she pretends to be modest)
Very creative and nice on the pocket book. Good job and she looks so cute.
Thats what I thought!! Thank you, she’s impressed with herself! 🙂 Happy Thursday!!
I say she looks awesome! I think she would in most things, but you can see the thought behind this.
Thank you, T!! The only problem we had was when I started singing “Material Girl” she said “Momma, what the crap are you singing?” Literally almost started crying- instantly broke open laptop to youtube & entered Madonna… this generation cannot NOT know who Madonna is, really???
SOOOOOO ADORABLE!!! I am TOTALLY going to steal your idea for next year!! Our sweet neighbor gave us a treasure box full of costumes this year!! Woohoo!! FREE!!! 😉
Awesome!!! I think I like your costume idea better this year! LOL. XO.
AWESOME!!! This one takes me straight back to the glorious 80s!! She has nailed the attitude and body language, too!! it’s like…totally tubular!! Well done!! –Lisa
That’s exactly what we want to hear! Eeeeee!!!! Thank you Lisa! Happy Friday! 🙂 ~A~
Very rad. And she can wear the shirt (and leggings, maybe?) after Halloween is over. Remember this black rubber bracelets? Those would be the cherry on top of this costume.
exactly!!! oooohhh, forgot about those bracelets… I think we have some around here. GREAT suggestion! Happy Friday! 🙂
Super cute!! And.. easy and cheap are always a winner!
That’s my thoughts too 😀 TY!

Thank you!!! That is EXACTLY what I thought & she looks fabulous! Triple win! 🙂 Happy Saturday!

Good job, Mama! She looks awesome! I hope my little only child is as humble as yours one day. That is so sweet!
Awwwwww! Thank you Lauren! She has her diva days but I am very blessed for her to be as humble as she is, it’s all in the raising is what my Momma always told me, so, I imagine you will be just fine! Happy Monday!!!
