We love playing dress-up around here. With a few leftover Halloween costumes, some hand-me-down jewelry from Grammy, and a nicely worn blanket to use as a cape, we have at least a few good hours of imaginative play guaranteed. Then we venture into my closet, throw on a dozen scarves, twice as many necklaces, and a pair of heels so high I have to laugh when Kirah shuffles around in them.
If Kirah can find a way to affix it to her body, it will become part of today's story, where she's an astronaut, or a cowgirl, or a dragon, or whatever.
I love that she can imagine a towel into a cloak and a necklace into a crown, but from time to time I come across some special piece of dress-up finery that I wish we could add to our collection.
Here's what's captivating me this week:
Silly felt beards from Mahar Dry Goods.
Any and all of the adorable tutus from Tutu Posh.
These luxe looking capes in every color.
This fantastic handmade kimono for girls or boys.
A complete and comfy looking knight costume (check out this etsy seller's whole shop for more!)
And my favorite, this super cool bird mask and cape from shak-shuka.
Mmm, I can dream.
