I have to be honest, Halloween is just not my favorite holiday anymore. It just feels so commercialized and the box-store costumes are less than impressive.....which is what Merce, Jax and Skylar ALWAYS wanted as soon as they were able to choose their own.
So, we asked our customers to send us their past and present Halloween costumes using small shop/boutique clothing, rather than store bought costumes, and we received some absolutely amazing costume ideas!
