LAST MINUTE DIY HALLOWEEN COSTUME FOR TODDLER SIBLINGS: CANADIAN ICONS JONI MITCHELL & NEIL YOUNG!

DIY Canadian Icon Halloween Costumes

I KNOW. You don’t have to tell me. The pictures say it all and we had a lot of fun, (kids included), pulling this last minute idea and shoot together…

WHAT YOU NEED:

Joni
Child sized blonde wig (I found mine for 5 bucks at a local costume store)
Bell bottoms (thrifted)
White peasant blouse (previously owned)
One of my necklaces and some of my bangles
Ukelele
Big sunglasses (borrowed from Sarain)
Head wrap (borrowed from Sarain)

Neil
Vintage felt hat (borrowed from Sarain)
Vintage style tee (preciously owned)
Dark slim jeans (previously owned)
Fringed vest (borrowed from Sarain)
Child sized guitar

Last but not least…willing participants with a penchant for entertaining. Clearly I’m in the business of creating creatives who love Halloween.

Special thanks goes out to…

    Hihihihiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Joni Mitchell looks like she’s about to pick her nose! (Rather than her guitar…) And the second picture is sooooo awesome! They really look like they’re rocking it! Love it!

      Yep, she was indeed about to dig for some gold. As they do. The second picture however, you are right – I can’t stop looking at it!!!
