The Princesses Favorite Past-Time – Playing Dress Up

Filed Under: BLOG, Kids Posts, Sponsored Posts Tagged With: , , , ,

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.

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!

    So adorable! And Emma looked so cute as a pumpkin! Sounds like you found a gold mine for us moms with "Princesses" in the house. 🙂

    Aww, that's a cute collage!! We have a BOY and had a few years of dress up (doctor, fireman, pirate, superhero, etc.). 🙂 I loved it, but he's almost over it all now.

      Christa, I am so happy to hear that your girls still love this and have hope that mine won't grow out of this phase, too quickly 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!
    Blessings,

    When those two graduate from high school, we are all going to want invitations. LOL It's like we are all aunts and uncles. Thanks for sharing your family with us, Janine, and have a great Hump Day.

    • Janine Huldie says

      It would be my absolute honor if you did come to celebrate with us one day. Hey, I think you know how much I respect you and also what a pleasure it is to have you as a friend in my corner. Happy Hump Day right back at you now!! 🙂

    Our family is "princess crazy" Frozen, of course, is number one but Tangled and Princess Sophia have been recent loves. Your costumes are adorable!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Sineas, sounds like your kids would totally get along with mine, because it is Princesses all the time here, especially Frozen, Tangled and Princess Sofia, too 🙂

    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?

    Adorable pictures! Your home sounds a lot like mine. I love when the girls tell their brother he needs to dress up as the prince for their stories. Those are my favorite dress up session. I will have to look into purecostumes.

    • Janine Huldie says

      That sounds too cute and I will go on record, but I am sure he will deny it, I totally dressed up my kids brother in my Halloween Smurfette costume back in the day! Seriously hope you can look into Pure Costumes for your kids now 🙂

  16. realhousewife says

    Oh my, I remember those days! Now the girls play dress up from the things in MY closet! We even wear the same size shoes!! I have so many clothes that seem to find their way into my girls rooms…lol…that's why I have to dress in sweat pants – it's all they leave me:)) lol

    • Janine Huldie says

      Lol, Kelly I am sure I will be dealing with this myself with my two in the future, so remind me when I get there that this is indeed normal 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Ok, now I am saying Aww right back to Tucker being a fireman, Superman and Spiderman, too. Seriously your guy is just as adorable and such a cutie, too!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Aww, thanks Michelle and I truly keep telling myself to enjoy all of this before it is per and behind me.

  20. gigigirl says

    That's so much fun to dress up….and so much fun to see the girls in their various outfits. Of course, they are princesses without doubt!
    Nice that you let them have that fun. They'll remember these times when they are grown up I'm sure. Lots of love….xxxxoooo

    • Janine Huldie says

      Aww, I hope they do Aunt Gloria and definitely so much fun seeing them in their costumes for me, too!! Lots of love back at you xoxo 🙂

  22. themomcafe says

    BOTH of my kids dressed up until JUST a year ago!!! Cass wore all kinds of costumes and Cade wore most of hers too!! LOL

    I would go to the thrift store and buy all kinds of hats and fun dresses and accessories and put them all in a big bin for them to play!!! The thrift store has TONS of great finds!!

      Lisa, I love the imagination at this age and will admit I get quite a charge out of seeing what they come up with here daily, as well!! 🙂

  25. sarah says
