So.. Somebody's first Kindergarten costume party. Actually the whole school is having their "Fall Festival", and today is the day. They have to wear costumes to reflect the theme of the school: "Hero". I asked KG (Kiddo Girl. Did you get the memo?) what she wanted to be, and she said "Super Girl".

Well, I was not going to go out and buy a costume.. so I decided to check out pictures of Super Girl on the net, and see the basic pieces of her outfit. Then I went to the thrift store, in search of hopefully the same. I did actually find a Super Girl shirt- long-sleeved, thank goodness. I found some hot pink jogging pants, some matching water shoes (don't ask- they were 59 cents, and matched the pants), and then a pink baby blanket I hoped I could fashion into a cape. Later I found out she needed a mask.. so I went to Michaels and JoAnn's to see how they could help.

Here is the outfit, front and back.

Here is the back of the cape.. (the front has an L on it to personalize it a bit more).

You can see her brother wanted in on the picture taking. LOL Anyway.. she ended up with some older sweat pants she had, and her white tennis shoes. I did make her a belt, though. She actually looks cute, and she's very happy with the outfit. What more can I ask for?
