Need Help for costume idea !!!

[mommy2lt]

Hi , we will be going to the MNSSHP on October 16th and I am clueless about what to wear. My 2 year old son is going as lightning McQueen and I would love to find something for me that complements his costume. I am looking for something kinda easy so I thought I'd just wear a Sally shirt or something, but for the life of me I can't find anything in adult sizes. I am willing to make something simple if anyone has any ideas. Thanks so much for any help

How about a mechanic's jumpsuit? Comfortable and it corresponds to his costume!

I am guessing someplace like AutoZone or some other 'car related' place. My DH has one, but has had it for YEARS! Apparently, even though men don't typically like to shop, they know where to find stuff like that!

Maybe also try some place like Amazon or Ebay? Probably won't find a 'deal' there, but you never know!

Good luck and let me know what you find!

Home Depot and other hardware type stores carry very plain cotton coveralls for about 30.00. Paint and hardware stores often carry the white painters coveralls as well. You could then dress it up with product badges (like for oil and car parts, usually found at auto parts stores), or use fabric paint and stencils to make it match your son's costume.

Looks like you can buy online for a special price of 15.00

Home Depot Gray Coveralls

This site has a lot to choose from, http://www.coverallstore.com
