Halloween is definitely my favorite holiday of all time! My daughter loves it too and dressed in The Descendants Mal costume one year.
I enjoy the costumes, and getting to dress-up, and being able to PRETEND to be someone else for a few hours.
I’m a weirdo and I usually start planning and gathering everything I need for costumes in the summer. Mostly because I hate the annual Halloween pop-up stores – they’re too crowded, over-priced, nothing will fit correctly right off the shelf, and everything is handled and picked-through. Gross.
So I usually start prepping WAY in advance, but the prices are better and it gives me alot more time to make sure I’m happy with it and overall it’s a much less stressful experience for me.
Anyhow… I personally don’t dress up as much anymore since I’m usually focused on my daughter and her costume instead. She has an epic one planned for this year, and we’re all prepped and ready to go. I’ll keep it a secret until the big day but I can’t wait to share it with you all!
But in the meantime… I can post some pics of past costumes for you. I love Halloween!
Here’s a pic of my daughter dressed as Mal from Disney’s “The Descendants” movie.

Omg your daughters outfit is amazing. I thought I was good cutting up a black umbrella and making my SD into a bat. This is a whole another level ♡
Lol I’m not handy enough to transform an umbrella into a bat costume so you get bonus-points for your handiwork. 🙂
Haha I’ve not done it yet 😳
Love it!
Thanks JoAnn! 🙂
Yup! The focus changes drastically once you have kids…lol
Have you done any family costumes or mother/daughter costumes with your daughter?
No family costumes but the closest mother/daughter costume I’ve done has been the Jem and the Holograms one from a couple years ago. She prefers doing her own thing now so it’ll be unlikely that we do another couples costume anytime soon. 🙂
Ah bummer 🙂
Great post! I love the outfit of your daughter – looks good on her!
Aw thank you! She definitely enjoyed it. 🤗
