Homemade Halloween Costume - SITS Girls Giveaway!

For Day 2 of the SITS Girls Giveaway, I'm linking up my current Halloween creation.

Since I'm at college and don't have access to much money, I had to make do with a homemade costume this year. My school had a Disney carnival earlier in the month, and as Tinkerbell was my favorite character I thought she would be the perfect choice.


I already had a bright green tank top, so I needed a skirt/dress and wings. (I'll get to the shoes later.) I went thrift store shopping with my roomie and found a great green skirt and those amazing wings! Seriously, those wings are my pride and joy :D


Looks pretty good, if I do say so myself! :) For the last part of my costume, the shoes, I realized too late I had no green flats to wear. Thankfully my roomie has the most adorable green flats that actually fit me(!) and all I had to do was something for the white pompoms. My solution? Cotton balls! :D


I was so proud of how well they turned out! I kept showing them to everyone I saw ;) Aren't they just great??

So since I don't have much else to wear for Halloween, I'm just going to re-wear my Tinkerbell outfit, crafty shoes and all! ;)
