Trick or Treat 2013: Dora the Explorer costume

After planning to be a minion, a Lalaloopsy or a cute ice cream for Halloween, none of these three choices materialized. Ganun kagulo isip ko, haha. Well, I was prepared for Gwen’s minion costume but when I fitted her yellow clothes and jumper, medyo fail plus Jeff said making a realistic minion goggles will be a challenge (and another challenge for making Gwen wear it).

I’m really this close into buying the ice cream costume at SM but Marsy encouraged me to DIY. She sent me a tutorial for the wig should I decide for a Lalaloopsy costume. Kaya lang wala na talaga akong time sis.

So for this year’s Trick or Treat, it’s Gwen the Explorer!

Actually, it’s one of our first choices, but Jeff said it’s too simple. Eh nung last minute na, I insisted the Dora para madali. Jeff replied, “Actually, maganda naman talaga yung Dora kaya lang ang magdadala dyan yung bangs.”

Aaah, bangs pala ha….

Good thing there are inexpensive fake bangs sold nowadays, haha, thanks Landmark!

So for the Dora the Explorer costume, I bought pink shirt, orange shorts and yellow socks. Dora has white shoes though, but we only have pink rubber shoes for Gwen. She already has a purple backpack (Disney princess nga lang ang design). Gwen owns a pink monkey plush toy, pinabitbit ko na rin, kunyari si Boots. At syempre, ang BANGS! :p

At the Trick or Treat in the office, Gwen got a special award.

Thank you DGP for the sweets!

Solve na solve na si Gwen the Explorer. After filling up her bucket, she didn’t bother to eat the prepared meals for the kids, she sat in the sofa and enjoyed her lollipop.

Happy Halloween! Share your kid’s costumes and trick or treat experience ha. 🙂
