Okay, get this: I was at Goodwill, like any usual day, and saw a sign that their Halloween costumes were 75% off. Clearly I wasn't in the market for more costumes, but I never walk away from 75% off without looking. I found this black and white dress/tunic for a dollar. One dollar! It actually wasn't great at first, because it had weird bell shaped sleeves, and slits up the side of the dress. However, ten minutes with me and my sewing machine quickly fixed it, and now I love it!
I'm still not sure how it qualified as a costume. Maybe somebody wanted to dress up as a bird? (Which is very different from somebody dressing up as a human being attacked by birds, just saying) But if I'm offered something at 75% off, I'm not going to question it. Something about a gift horse, or something.
Outfit Details:
Feather tunic -- Goodwill $1
Tights -- Goodwill $1.99
Belt -- Salvation Army $.33
Flats -- Salvation Army $1
Total Cost: $4.32

Wow, that is so cute, and for only a dollar? What a steal! Though I have no idea how it's a costume...
ReplyDeleteThat's so interesting that it was on sale for being a 'costume.' And you can get tights at Goodwill? That's crazy--I always wear mine till there are holes in them. I had no idea tights ever made it to 2nd hand stores.
ReplyDeleteI got crazy lucky and found some brand new ones in the package. Awesome! Yeah, mine always get totally destroyed. :)
DeleteWow. Soooooo cute. Idk how this say costume expect for maybe in a play or something. Still really cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired to do more second hand shopping. What a fun and stylish outfit you created for under $5. Thank you for sharing and for linking up to the Empowered Living hop, hope to see you again.

What a great find! I love a good feather print. Though one has to ask - what kind of costume was it supposed to be a part of?!
