Hollieween 2014

Saturday night we hosted our annual Hollieween party. The turn out was great. Just the right amount of people. In fact if we had more people we would have had to start partying in the bathrooms - our home was pretty packed.
Since our finances are looking a bit pale this season I dressed us all in super low cost costumes. I racked my brain and realized we all have the clothing to dress as hip modern versions of Disney Characters! These were by far the laziest costumes I've ever come up with but hey, I only spent $7 for all of us.
In case you're unfamiliar with Disney movies here's a side by side comparison of the characters we're dressed as:
I'm Snow White. Costume cost - $0
My husband as hipster Peter Pan.
Cost of costume: $1 for thrifted toboggan
River as Aladdin.
Cost of costume: $1 for thrifted toboggan
And Cedar wasn't too thrilled about waking up in a green tutu.
Cost of costume: $1 for shirt, $4 for the tulle for the DIY no-sew tutu.

Sooooo here are some pics from the night:





 Get it? They're ceiling fans. HA!




So that's all for now... and here's my face.
I'm linked up for Share-in-Style: Halloween!! See ya there!

  2. Yay! Good for you. And costumes depend on their idea, not their cost. The best ones have ingenuity behind them. I love Cedar and the Ceiling fans!

  11. O, brilliant!!! Such good costumes. Goes to show, you just don't have to spend a lot, or even sew your ass off! Cedar is an absolute cupcake of delish!
    Halloween just isn't a big deal here, I think it's mostly that it's just the wrong season for it! Maybe if we did it in the right season we'd get it?! Who knows! XXX

  14. What? 4 costumes for $7? You didn't go to the pop up Halloween store and spend $60 a costume?

    The Doctor didn't get the ceiling fan joke, he said it went over his head.

  23. I loooove that idea of hipster updated disney characters! Your Snow White is just lovely - the colors are spot on. I love making costumes out of clothes I already own - so much more fun and cost effective!

    Also, your kids are just so sweet! :)

  24. I knew exactly who you were the moment I saw your costume! Haha so good job. I love the idea of cheap and simple Halloween costumes but my family went ahead and bought my daughter real costumes without my knowledge. BOOOOOOO to them. Your party looks like so much fun! I'm used to seeing parties of half naked girls on my feed so it's nice to see some REAL people with REAL clothes and personality having a great time.
