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!
Looks like everyone was having a great time. Neat that some guests were playing live music. The ceiling fans are hilarious and you guys look good in your modern day Disney outfits. Good thinking on that one!
ReplyDeleteYay! 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!
ReplyDeleteThat looks such a laugh (and I don't even do Halloween!). Your outfits are a work of absolute brilliance and so cheap, too. You should be running the country, love, you're a genius! xxx
ReplyDeleteand what a face it is! Hipster Disney characters dang girl you are creative and you all look awesome! I agree with Vix, please run the nation! You all look happy and there were cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteXXOO
Ohmygosh! That look on Cedar's face was priceless. Hahaha! And totes loving your costumes. Who cares if they were inexpensive?! They worked.
ReplyDeletePS The ceiling fans were awesome too:D
Hollie you are the BEST! Hipster Peter Pan. Ha ha. One year my husband just wore a sweatshirt and jeans and carried a can of beer = college student. And a no sew tutu. I must try that. I am totally voting for you for best Halloween costume! Hey! I'm voting for you for most awesomely adorable family every day.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I do like a good fancy dress do xxx
ReplyDeleteHow cute are your costumes on a budget. It always amazes me how you Americans get into Halloween so much. No one I know celebrates it here. Xx
ReplyDeleteYou are all so cute as Disney characters! Looks like the party was a blast - wish I was there! The ceiling fans are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI admit I think the ceiling fan joke is pretty cute
ReplyDeleteO, 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!
ReplyDeleteHalloween 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
What a wonderful bunch you all are, ahhhhhhhhhhhh

I Love how y'all made costumes out of stuff around the house. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat? 4 costumes for $7? You didn't go to the pop up Halloween store and spend $60 a costume?
ReplyDeleteThe Doctor didn't get the ceiling fan joke, he said it went over his head.
It looks like you had an awesome night and your costumes are so perfect - River looks very cute :)
ReplyDeleteVery creative costumes! River and Cedar are the cutest of course!! No matter what you manage to pull it off. :-*
ReplyDeleteGonna be quick, laptop is doing funny tings - I LOVE your family outfits, the party looked a blast and The Ceiling Fans are GENIUS! x x x

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.
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me with the cute!
