Angel costume! Soph grew out of the 'angel' costumes that most people wear for nativity shows, but we didn't let that stop us letting her be an angel in the church nativity. A top and skirt from the charity shop, along with tinsel pinned into her hair. Job done!
This dress came from a charity shop, and all I had to do was shorten the shoulder straps a bit. Smart enough for a wedding, but without spending a million dollars. I believe it cost about £1.50 and she already owned the cardigan.
Likewise the jacket Jaiden is wearing. I found that in a charity shop for £5. And he loved it (It's always a bit hit and miss buying Jaiden clothes if he's not there, but at charity shop prices, it's worth the risk!)
This was the Room on the Broom witch costume we made for World Book Day. The top was a red school cardigan she already owned, the skirt was made from a piece of purple cord material. I can't remember if I got this from a friend who was having a clear out, or from the charity shop. Either way, it was using what we had!
The hat and broom were borrowed from a friend, and the cat was cousin Phoebe's special Kitty, which was borrowed and carefully returned before she missed it too much! And the wand was Sophia's already too.
Finally, I have to mention some of our Christmas jumper finds. These were both acquired in charity shops, as have almost every Christmas jumper we've ever owned as a family. They cost between one and perhaps three pounds, and they've been passed on responsibly after we were done. This photo was from a few years ago, and Jaiden actually wore the penguin one this Christmas just gone. And I think the reindeer was passed on to a cousin.
