Halloween is just around the corner. Kira is going out with some of her friends on Friday night and the original plan (among the girls) was that they would dress as super heroes. I'm sorry, I don't want to pay $35 dollars for a costume that she would wear once and really don't think I have the skills to make one. So instead, we decided to use some things we had at home...
For a couple of years now, Kira has wanted to be Nancy Drew. The only problem was that she didn't have a trench coat. Last year my parents bought her a coat for her birthday. She loved it! We watched the movie Nancy Drew to get an idea of what she wore and also searched Pintrest.
We decided to combine the two pictures and make up our own "Nancy". In Florida, as sweater is rarely needed so we nixed that right off the bat. She has a trench coat, the white blouse, and we just picked up a plaid skirt that is really cute! I'm going to loan her one of my flashlights and she will just wear her tennis shoes since I am sure they will be walking house to house (at least I hope so.) She has a purse, but I'm going to see if we can find another one similar. Last but not least we need a magnifying glass and then the costume is complete!
About Me
- Erica
- From homeschooling to handling live TV chaos, I’ve done it all—running camera crews, assisting producers, crafting a 200+ page digital magazine, and even juggling life as a reporter’s personal assistant. I’ve taught in private schools, and now I’m wrangling SEO strategies as an account manager. Volunteering has been my jam for years, and my newest project is a fiery one—breathing new life into the Fort Lauderdale Fire Museum. Life’s been a mix of creative detours and career curveballs, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Buckle up—it’s been a wild ride so far!
