Little Red Riding Hood Costume


I hope you guys love halloween as much as I do ! This year I decided to dress up as Little red riding hood ! I always try to pick a costume that is similar in appearance to me just so that it seems a little more realistic. Sometimes it is a little hard to come up with costume ideas that would match "my look" brown hair and brown eyes, but there are always great options as well like Wednesday addams (which was last year!) Snow white and belle, I mean someones its not perfect obviously like snow white has darker hair and belle has lighter hair but it still all sorta works when its a costume. The reason I do this is because I want the costume to look as realistic as possible, and i don't have much experience with wigs and I can't really dress up like barbie with brown hair (maybe next year I should try a wig? :o thoughts? ) .  This little red riding hood costume was actually really easy to put together and the majority of the pieces were already in my closet. i grabbed a white chiffon shirt with ruffles at the front (to give more of a vintage feel) a plain black pleated skirt, black tights and flats. For an added touch i put on this belt that has a square buckle in the front because it just reminds me of belts they wear in fairytales.  But I was surprised at when I looked up original illustrations of little red riding hood she was wearing a light blue dress? i was trying to stick to the original but i had no memory of her wearing light blue so I just stuck to what was my most prominent memory of her. As for the cape I actually found this one at wal mart for like $10 ! I thought it was perfect for this costume ! And the basket I found at Michaels for $5 and I just simply added a bow at the front for a cuter look.  I hope you guys like this look and have an amazing halloween ! :)
