Mary Poppins Costume and Bert

mary poppins and bert

Using items I had at a home and a quick trip to Goodwill and Target I created an easy and inexpensive Mary Poppins Costume along with her friend Bert.

Mary Poppins & Bert

Jim and I don’t usually dress up for Halloween but we were invited to a costume party so we had to figure something out.

Thanks to a little help from Pinterest I put together this Mary Poppins Costume as well as Bert. Here we are!  

I managed to put both of our costumes together with items we already had (Jim’s shirt, pants and shoes) and a few trips to Goodwill and Target.

Mary Poppins Costume

My skirt, blouse, red bag, hat and Jim’s vest came from Goodwill.  My hat was originally natural straw but I just grabbed that bottle of spray paint and gave it a couple of coats.  The flowers are from the Dollar Store.

I found my Mary Poppins costume shoes at Target as well as my black tights and umbrella.  We borrowed Bert’s suspenders and cap from friends.  I made my red tie, belt, and Bert’s scarf then we grabbed a broom from the shed and we were pretty much ready to go.

Thanks to my neighbor Katie for taking our picture!

I just have to share what my neighbor came dressed up as to the party we went to – here she is.

Can  you guess who she is???

Couples Costumes

Dressing up as a famous couple has become a fun empty nester tradition for us since we first dressed up as Mary Poppins and Bert.  You can see our past year’s costumes here:
