This year, Keaton and I had a party at my work that was on the 10th, so there was no option for a "last minute costume on Halloween". I turned to my good friend Google for some inspiration. I knew we couldn't spend a lot of money on them and I wanted it to be a couple's costume. Obvs.
Mary Poppins and Burt the chimney sweeper seemed like a very doable costume!
I already had the majority of what we needed (even a real chimney sweep, thanks to Keat's dad) and was going to borrow a few more, minus:
-The hat
-The bow tie
-A vest for Keaton
I turned to amazon.com for the hat - found it for 5 bucks. Added some dollar store flowers and spray painted it black and voila, I had a Mary Poppins hat!
I decided to just get some red ribbon and tie it in a bow. Easy enough.
Burlington had a great vest for an even better price!
We were at goodwill looking for a vest when I found the most PERFECT skirt. 6 bucks. Done.
I was thrilled with how simple it was and how big of a hit we were. SO much fun.
We wore our costumes three times, to the Witches Ball at This is the Place, our ward trunk-or-treat (hi, we were the ONLY adults who dressed up that didn't have kids - talk about embarrassing), and again on Halloween night when we had dinner with my parents and took Tatum to a few houses for some free candy.
Our trunk for the ward party.
I was able to watch Tatum during the day because I had the day off and she didn't have school. We went to the Aquarium for trick-or-treating and cute activities they had planned. We matched, it was cute.
We ended the night with some hot chocolate and movies at home, just the two of us. I could get used to the holidays as a married couple!!
