Coraline Costume

This past weekend we watched the movie, Coraline! We all adored this deliciously creepy adaptation of Neil Gaiman's book. Our girls watched it twice within days! 

I thought that Coraline would be a fantastic costume for Halloween!

Instead of some cookie cutter costume that is cheaply made and costs a fortune, wouldn't something creative and different be perfect?

A simple yellow raincoat and boots, some blue hair spray or blue wig, a pair of jeans and a dragonfly hair clip and you have a great costume and an outfit that can be useful for more than just one night of Trick-or-Treating!
