Halloween time.

I know it's still over a month away, but brainstorming ideas can never start too early at the Foreste household :)

I had 3 ideas in my head & searched for some cute costumes all over the internet that fit the pictures in my head.  Here are the top 3:


1.  Oompa Loompa.  I know it's not cutesy & girly, but I thought she would look so cute with big green hair & Snooki style bronzing... not to mention the poofy pants.

2.  Minnie Mouse.  Because I can only imagine the cuteness of big ears, big polkadot dress & painted black nose.

3.  Futuristic girl from outerspace.  No idea what to call it because there is NO costume out there for what I'm looking for.

The winner (for now) is... girl from outerspace!  That's if I can make the costume in time.  I saw an idea in a Martha Stewart Halloween magazine & thought I MUST recreate this in a miniature size.  I found these silver leggings, which will go perfect.  Now I'm going to attempt to make a silver lame' leotard (with the help of my amazing mommy friend) with some sort of purple mylar material for a Jane Jetson style collar.  I'm going to use the same shiny mylar type fabric to make a short skirt that sticks straight out (hoop skirt style).

She is going to wear her little silver Toms & my inspiration for her hair came from Gwen Stefani... and I will spray it silver of course!

I decided I'm going to spice up her costume with a tiny bit of makeup.  Because when else can you go all out on a kid, but Halloween??  This is what we're going to aim for... pretty sequins around the eyes & some silvery/pinky lipstick.

I'm so excited & it's not even my costume :)  This is the winner as of now, but we'll see if we're able to pull it off with the sewing machine.  Now it's your turn because I'm always up for some more inspiration... what are your ideas for costumes this year?
