Ma, Look What I Got: Costume!

I wish I could say I remembered to fetch these pictures, but it was my husband. What a nice boy!

Halloween:


I dubbed myself the Happy Housewife, while my husband was essentially Don Draper. This wasn't one of my most cost-effective getups. The dress was from an antique mall and I can't remember exactly how much it cost. Maybe $30? $35? At least that's all I bought: the apron was a wedding gift from my sister, those are my actual wedding shoes, the brooch I already had, and the earrings I made.

I also did my own hair:


I tried to approximate a beehive at first, but that crashed and burned, so I ended up with a modified French twist. I probably should've gotten a BumpIt for extra zing, but those commercials annoy the crap out of me and I just couldn't commit.

So there you are. Now I can move on to other posts without feeling like I'm forgetting to do something! Ah, freedom...

  3. Yeah, Hubby didn't want to be a model for the blog. He did pose for one picture that I can email you. He was cute!

  4. Hubby should be used to having his picture taken no matter what the reason is!

  5. Thanks, Kelly!

    Tress: it's not that he isn't used to being a model for my whims, but he doesn't like too many pictures of himself on the interwebs.

  6. You remind me of a stepford wife. :)
    Also, I own a bumpit. You can always borrow without compromising your ideals.
