You are looking at Bossy’s daughter’s Halloween costume: a Catholic school girl. She went to the local Goodwill store, and purchased this school uniform for only $3, and the great thing is when she’s done, it can be returned so a real school girl can purchase it!
Except Bossy thinks her daughter lobbed a few inches from the hem so she can instead be Ginger Spice. Don’t ask.

October 31, 2008 at 9:44 amWe only have two Halloween rules:
(1) you have to make your costume yourself (hello Thrift Shop!), and
(2) nothing gorey (sp?) or mean

October 31, 2008 at 10:56 amI bet her mile long legs turn that uniform into Ginger Spice in no time flat! No, I bet she’ll look adorable and what a great idea!
We have a Poverty Party post up today about Halloween (and other holidays) as well. http://3giraffes.blogspot.com/2008/10/going-green-and-cheap-for-halloween.html

October 31, 2008 at 1:05 pmActually, shortening it makes it all the more authentic…when I went to Catholic School, I think I got a uniform in first grade and didn’t get another one until 5th grade, when they changed uniform styles. And it’s a good thing…by that time I could barely get the jumper on over my head.
Can’t wait to see the halloween pictures!
bossy\'s friend martha\'s sister says
October 31, 2008 at 4:57 pmdon’t forget the navy blue gym shorts you wear under the jumper

October 31, 2008 at 5:14 pmI think she should shove a volleyball up around her belly and go as a pregnant catholic school student. She could walk around with me in my favorite Halloween costume: pegnant nun.
I’m sorry. That was bad of me.
Here’s what’s worse: someday I’ll probably be her guidance counselor.

November 1, 2008 at 12:07 pmHubby and I prefer thrift shop/homemade costumes too, so this year I went as a Catholic school girl and he went as a teacher.
😉 Raunchy… but fun!

November 1, 2008 at 4:22 pmMy son (MonkeySee) went last night dressed as Shaggy Rogers (of ScoobyDoo fame). He wore a pair of pants he already owned, a teeshirt that his mom (Hi!) stole from her very first ever girlfriend, his shaggy mop of hair, and carried around his sister’s giant stuffed ScoobyDoo.
Yay for free!
