A Mary Poppins Halloween

Happy Halloween! Using this post by Keiko Lynn as my inspiration, I was Mary Poppins and Geoff, my boyfriend, was Bert. I fell in love with Keiko's cute pictures and couldn't get Mary Poppins out of my head! Such an easy, fun costume was hard to resist.

And how could I not do a signature Mary Poppins pose or two?

My costume was partially homemade, or at least adjusted. I bought the shirt at St. Vincent de Paul for $1 and refit it to my size and made the bowtie and belt out of red scrap fabric. Everything else I had already. The hat isn't exactly Mary Poppins-authentic, but I think it worked out well enough!

I wish I had a better picture of my handsome Bert and I, but these are pretty cute.

The coat in this picture was also a thrift store find- $3 at Goodwill and it kept me fairly warm while tying in with the costume.

What were you for Halloween?
