This Friday, Harlow’s Audrey Hepburn costume made the Humans of NY feed. If you don’t know Humans of NY, I’m not sure you can be trusted on the internet. He’s got over ten million followers on facebook and you can follow him here.
Above is the photo he snapped.
And who could blame him?
Harlow was a SHOW STOPPER on Halloween. There was not one person we passed who did not look her way. And by “her way”, I mean down to the tiny little fancy person at knee level, walking with the confidence of a bonafide screen legend.
With the addition of the coat (it was chilly) and the oversized treat bag (bought at a nearby party store when I realized I didn’t have anything to hold all her candy), Harlow looked more like a rich old lady from the Upper East Side than Audrey Hepburn… but in a way, I think that made the costume even funnier. If that photo had been posted on HONY any other day, people would have thought that get-up was totally for real.
My daughter wasn’t the only scene stealer though. There were many kids who knocked Halloween out of the park. Most of those kids were posted on Instagram, which seems to be the place where perfectly crafted costumes and adorable children come to meet their match.
You know how everyone makes fun of the DIY crafts and homemade baked goods on Pinterest because nobody could possibly have that much time and talent on their hands? Sometimes that’s what I think about Instagram. People can’t possibly have kids who willingly wear those outfits and stand there while their parents apply full Jack Skellington make-up and then make the perfect expression to match, do they????
Yes. Yes, they do.

LOVE! My favorite is the 11th Doctor 🙂 My kids went as the 10th and 11th doctors last year and I went as a weeping angel 🙂
As long ans the kids enjoy, I think it is such fun to dress your little kids up. The ones I like best, though, are the coordinated families. We had to stay indoors on Halloween Day due to crazy weather in Chicago. Luckily, they were able to wear their costumes at other events.
So happy my lil pineapple made two blogs and you of course my fav!
[…] they did. But really, Harlow's serious expression is what sold the outfit. It even earned her a feature on Humans of New York. Somehow adding a coat made it even more perfect. Of course, Mazzy ended up abandoning her […]
Little kids are so cute on Halloween!
