The Princesses Favorite Past-Time – Playing Dress Up

Filed Under: BLOG, Kids Posts, Sponsored Posts Tagged With: costume(s), dress up, Emma, Lily, Princesses

Here is the thing…

I have two little girls as most who follow me know.

We are no where near Halloween and yet our house on any given day looks like a Halloween costume dress up store.

Not going to lie, we have purchased dress up outfits for them from many different places over the course of the years.

So, each and every day, I get treated to a dress up fashion show that is better then any Halloween you could imagine.

Some of my favorites of course have been princess related, because let’s face it most, if not every little girl at this age wants to be and thinks they are a PRINCESS!

And my girls are no exception from this rule.  Yet it doesn’t have to be Halloween or a princess costume either to dress up in our home.

I might have even encouraged it a bit, calling them princesses here on my blog and to them in passing.

Many of the photos I am going to share below of been shared before, but I still can’t help, but smile seeing these photos, as well as my girls’ dress up antics daily.

I will admit even owning these costumes and many more not shown in the above photos, we are always on the lookout for more dress up clothes and recently found a new online costumes store to order from for my girls here.

Pure Costumes Logo

They boast that they are the most family friendly Halloween costumes store, but don’t let them fool you they aren’t just for Halloween as we don’t discriminate and like I said dress up here daily, too.  Dressing up seriously isn’t just for Halloween and neither is this costume store.

You are going to love them and we highly recommend them, if you have young kids too who also enjoy my girls love of dressing up.  They literally have tons of kids costumes for both boys and girls, even offering free shipping for orders over $65.

So Happy Dress Up and Enjoy now!

    Janine,

    Thanks for sharing. When my daughters were younger they did the same thing. My oldest would make me make her a run way. Most of their costumes were Princess costumes too.
    So sweet!

    Aw! You know this is common in our house, although less so lately. I blame the heat. (finally)
    My friend's daughter's birthday is in mid November and her brother went to a Halloween store after Halloween and got his niece like…ten princess costumes at 75% off. Clever, right?
