Hey y'all! Hope you had fun yesterday! We sure did!
Traditionally, Halloween isn't my favorite holiday, but this year I took time and effort to create a costume. Not to brag or anything, but I thought it turned out awesome!! Inspired my my favorite 90s movie, Clueless, I was Dionne, Cher's best friend!
I remember going to the theater and seeing this movie in 1995, and it has been a classic in our household fro 20 years. I can quote the movie almost line by line and I was so excited to be Dee!
Nose ring and all!
Since last year, I knew this was the costume I wanted to recreate. However, the black and white plaid pattern is hard to find. I searched for months but couldn't find a suit with a matching blazer and skirt. Sewing is not my strength, so making a suit was out of the question. I found a flannel shirt that the perfect pattern and bought 3 of them. I made a skirt with 2 of them, and wore the third as the "blazer". The white hat came from Party City, and I used black ribbon and 3 red roses to make it look like the one in the movie. The knee high socks, white cami and red sweater came from Target, and the patent leather shoes came from Payless. Couldn't forget the nose ring, which came from Claire's.
Trick or treating!
The final touch was the Nokia phone! It was my husbands first phone from 1999! What-ever!
I plan on being Dionne for the next 3 years, since it took me so long to get all the elements of this costume together. Anyone wanna be my Cher?!?
Ugh! As if!!
Always,
