Dress Like a 3 Year Old

I just realised how long it's been since i've actually posted a "how to" blog, mainly i've been posting "lists of awesomeness" recently... So i'm rectifying that mistake :)

For school camp this year we have a themed dress up night, this year with a 90s theme - dress in 90s fashion/90s celebrity/90s children show/as you were in the 90s... so, being the entirely mature gal i am, i convinced my friends to dress up like 3 year olds with me.

Now, as anyone who has met me and my friends (or even heard of us) should know, we're really not mature at all. Teachers pets, yes, but mature?... not so much. Thankfully, this means we don't have to have any acting skills to become three year olds. However, we need costumes. So here it is (i'll post a pic after the event, ok??)

Shoes - black flats (because none of us have little kiddy shoes) and white socks with lace on them (we actually have to sew the lace onto our socks, but we think it's worth it)

Skirts - swishy, little-kid-esque skirts that vaguely (ie in no way at all) match...

Shirts - we've each bought a plain top and are using those iron on transfers to put a graphic on them... so like i've made one with a dinosaur (and glitter writing proclaiming this) or my friends got an elmo one...)

Hair - pigtails with not-matching-ribbons and ringlets. Cus little kids have ringlets. But messy ones, cus what little kid has neat hair?? none, i assure you.

Make-up  - lipstick mainly off the lips (bright pink), bright blue eyeshadow (again, fully into eyebrows), lipstick blush... pretty much, we're doing the whole shebang (don't you love that word??)

Accessories  - candy bracelet, icky beads, stick on earrings, those tacky adjustable rings...

Additions - a toy (my friends has a tickle me elmo. SO jealous!), and a dress up item (i have a princess crown and some fairy wings)

Suggestions?? seriously appreciated, please comment!!

  1. ok. i love acting like a little kid, and dressing up like one is fun.
    pigtails are a must. i think pigtails are more little kidish than ringlets.
    i suggest a little pink tutu. like those toy ones that come with dress up sets?
    for skirts, i suggest that they be the craziest pattern yo ucan think of.
    in your hair you should also have those ponytail holders that have the little things at the end like cherries or whatever. [:
