Still looking for a last minute Halloween costume? Feel
free to borrow my idea! I was ME - just a younger version!
We attended a last minute party last night – filling in
for some missing team members in my parents bowling league (I bowled my average
103, but Brady bowled like the series of his life – almost hitting 200 one
game!).
Given that it’s the week before Halloween, costumes were
optional, so I couldn’t resist and took my own advice – I was #TBT (aka Throwback Thursday).

Here’s how I pulled this one off:
·
I went to the mall with a series of pictures
from my youth with the intention of replicating one of my outfits.
·
My blue shapes sweater 1st grade pic
was the easiest and most cost effective to pull off, but finding a blue sweater
was a pain in the butt. I finally found one at Target for $21.
·
I purchased some felt for the shapes for $3. The
necklace was a few bucks from Claire’s.
·
After scoring such deals, I decided to make the Instagram
frame. The posterboard was under $5.
·
Making the sweater was easy…the Instagram frame
was a bit tricker. I cut printed the word Instagram on two 8x10 prices of paper
and then cut it out in just a solid white.
·
I took a screenshot of an Instagram pic and then
cropped the buttons, made them bigger and then glued them to the board.
In the end, it was a cheap, easy costume that was perfect
for bowling!
