Growing up, I loved the Wednesday Addams character on The Addams Family. Anyone else ? !
so I updated Wednesday ’ s expression with fishtail braids and an easy outfit to create a Halloween costume that is cute. But more importantly WAY easy to put together, which means it ’ s a bang-up last infinitesimal costume estimate besides .
