Hermione came to visit today!!!

My daughter decided to be Hermione from Harry Potter for Halloween. She finished the first book about a month ago and has turned into a "Harry Potter freak" (her words not mine).... I absolutely love the HP books so this has warmed my heart... I use to hate to read... more like detest it..... Until I came across Harry Potter. J.K Rowling has given me such a freedom and love for books.... I have now spent many years reading any children's literature that I can get my hands on. I have missed so much from my years of not reading.....

So anyhow back to the outfit..... We went to Goodwill and got most of the stuff there..... I love a good deal so here is what it cost:
Robe: $1.60 ( this was a woman's coat and I resewed it to fit my daughter)
Shoes: $1.00
Sweater $ 1.00 (not on her.... but it is a gray V neck sweater in case it is a cold Halloween night)
Skirt: $.60 ( this was a woman size 6 that I resewed to fit her)
Tie: $ 1.00 ( this is a clip on boys tie that was blue and gold... so I painted the blue to be red.....)
she also got a real cool "witch's broom" that was $ 4. 95......
It was "Super Saturday" at Good will so these prices are the %50 off price!
The white shirt we already had and the black socks are really her soccer socks!!!!
I also printed out a Griffindor crest that I laminated and will pin to the robe......
We are also going to do her hair.... but pretty cool huh?

I went to the Halloween store to find stuff in the beginning and they wanted $24 just for the robe and it didn't look well made at all (I know she will be using this for dress up after Halloween)..... so instead I got the whole outfit for..... drum roll please........
$10.15!!!!! Ha -take that Halloween store!!!!!

Okay I'm done now.... :-)
