It all started a few weeks ago when Trixie got the idea to dress up like a pirate. She made such a convincing pirate, that when she heard Halloween was right around the corner, she wanted to wear her outfit again. This time Miss Chrissy added a sassy silver belt to her ensemble. I think she looks great! Trixie thinks she needs a parrot to sit on her shoulder, and she’s been practicing her “Aaarrrgh!” and “Ahoy, Mateys!” I think next she may start singing sea shanties. Trixie loves pretending more than anyone I know.
So, Trixie had already decided she wanted to dress up for Halloween, but what about me and Till? Well, one day when Miss Chrissy returned from The Thrift Store Boutique, she brought home a cute little orange nightshirt with the face of a jack-o-lantern on it. Tillie giggled so much when she saw it and said she always wanted to be a jack-o-lantern, so she and Miss Chrissy talked about it and together they designed the rest of her costume. The pumpkin hat was already in our Hat Collection, and the plain black pants seemed a natural, but to give the jack-o-lantern even more character, they decided to run some elastic around the bottom of the nightshirt, creating a “bag” that could be stuffed to make Tillie the jack-o-lantern look really fat. How funny! Tillie was so fat in front that while we were taking these pictures, she could barely stand up! She kept falling down, and we all kept giggling, but finally we managed to get some nice pictures.
Of course, that leaves me needing a Halloween costume. Going through our Wardrobe, I found this lovely purple lacey skirt and got the idea that I might be a ballerina, or a princess, or a fairy. We also had these beautiful little pink slippers that really seemed to match the skirt. But what else…what else?? When Miss Chrissy visited her other favorite Boutique, The Dollar Store, she found this wonderful tiara (with fur!) and some absolutely whimsical fairy wings that fit me just perfectly! Then she made me a fairy princess wand and what do you know…Tessie the fairy princess!
I think we all look just splendid in our Halloween costumes. We don’t go trick-or-treating or anything like that, we just like to hang around Whimsieville and pretend that we are something other than Whimsies. After Halloween we’ll probably exchange costumes, just to see how we all look. We Whimsies love clothes that are comfortable, but we also like clothes that are fun. And what could be more fun than dressing up in silly Halloween costumes?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
