Create | Classy Kids Costumes On a Budget : Gene Kelly

PART III: GENE KELLY COSTUME TUTORIAL: Our kids gladly enjoy watching old films. That's what inspired our Old Hollywood themed Costumes this year.  With three kids needing costumes we knew we had to come up with a plan to create all of the ideas that wouldn't break the bank!  Read on to find out how to recreate your own Old Hollywood Costume looks...



 Our kids all saw the Singing in the Rain movie for the first time a few months ago...and FELL.IN.LOVE with it! Everett actually chilled laying down on his belly to watch the WHOLE MOVIE. he's a toddler so it's pretty incredible. If you're a mom, you know. 

So If you already have a suit, you're pretty set, His is made up of some new pieces and some hand-me-down pieces. The shoes were a splurge $9, Suit Vest and Pants $20, Kids mini umbrella $3 [ebay find], and Fedora Hat was also an Ebay find at $5. 


We slicked his hair back with gel and hairspray [he has red curls that are all over the place!]
