DIY Mary Poppins Halloween Costume
I’m back sharing a little bit more about my costume for the Ghouls Night Out Party I shared on my blog last week!
I decided to dress up as Mary Poppins, mainly because I happen to have each of these items in my closet already.  So, I’m not sure what that says about me!  Ha!
How to make a Mary Poppins costume from your Closet
My absolute favorite costumes for me or my kids are the costumes you can put together from items you already own.  I love seeing what we can throw together with regular clothes and transforming them into a costume!  So, here are a few little tips on how to put together a Mary Poppins costume for Halloween!

For a DIY Mary Poppins Costume, you will need:
  • Black Hat
  • Floral Headband
  • Flower Pin
  • Red Bow Tie-  I made one out of felt for a hair bow for my daughter, and used it as a bow tie
  • Red Belt
  • White Button up Collared shirt
  • Pearl Earrings
  • Black Tights
  • Black Booties 
  • Umbrella
  • Black Midi Skirt
  • Red Lipstick
I still can’t believe I owned all of these items, and was able to pull an entire Mary Poppins Costume out of my closet!  Well, I did borrow the umbrella, but most of us can pull a black umbrella out of our closets, and that works great too!

So, there you go!  Easy than a downing a spoonful of sugar too!

I recreated the look below with items available in stores online now to make it easy for you!  Click on each picture for individual links!  (affiliate links used)

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

    Very cool! I'm trying to make a costume I saw online "cotton candy" but I think this one could be waaaay more doable 😉
