Today was 1950's day at Abby's school. Last week, I got a notice that she was to wear 1950's apparel to school today so that they could have a sock-hop and do other 50's-ish type things. Heaving a big sigh (I mean, didn't we just lay out $75 each on costumes for Halloween??), I thanked my lucky stars that it was during the post-Halloween "get rid of our leftover costumes" sales that I found this cute one.
I got this costume at Kohls. It was less than $40, which I am happy with. It is not high-quality, but I just wanted it to last through today, which it did. I wanted it to make my little girl happy, which it did. Next year, if she can still fit into it, we will use it again. But I will add a cuter belt, bobby socks, and saddle shoes. We will lose the leggings. Might also lose the scrunchie - did they have those in the 50's? I think not. It served it's purpose, though. It's all good.
Now, let's not have anymore costly dress-up events for awhile, ok? We had a birthday today - (Happy birthday, Sissy-Mara!), we have another one in three days, then Thanksgiving and Christmas. I will be ready to unleash some fundage again in 2013.
