a few weeks ago, i saw this costume online and decided that madeline absolutely needed to be cher for halloween. no question about it. i then promptly forgot about it, until i saw someone selling the same one on marketplace a week before. haha. with australia post still failing miserably with their efforts to get anything anywhere on time, i jumped at the chance to snap it up and she looooved it. first step was to get her to watch clueless, which she also loved - (lucky - or i might have had to disown her...) so then she couldn't wait to wear it.
add on a fluffy backpack, white flats and a fluffy pen - done.
she was most disappointed that we weren't trick or treating at home, but still loved dressing up with her favourite cousin - miss emma, who threw her dorothy costume together on the fly. i'm a little bummed you can't upload videos here to be honest, as she even got the hair flick and signature "as if" perfect on my instagram story.
funniest part was, the lady we bought the costume from had actually bought it for book week (which makes my traditionalist book week eyes twitch) and had managed to find a clueless novel?! so maybe we will be getting a second wear out of it next year. solid gold.
