Halloween Costume for Me?

So DD is going to be a cabbage patch kid for Halloween. We'll be going trick or treating with some friends and their kids and everyone dresses up so I need a costume for myself. I feel like I should be coordinating with DD, but I have no idea what goes with a cabbage patch kid? I was thinking of other 80s toys... carebears, Jem, rainbow brite, my little pony, etc. It's hard though- a lot of them are so... slutty! Chat Icon Also, I don't want to be cold!

I did find a kinda cute Strawberry Shortcake one. It's got a skirt, but it also has green striped leggings underneath so it's not bad. I won't freeze my asss off. Chat Icon Any other suggestions?

ETA: I would go as a cabbage patch kid, too, but I can't find a wig in my size. Chat Icon

I can't imagine it's hard to make a cabbage patch wig. Probably just need some yarn and a hat.

This site gives instructions on how to make one with a hat, hot glue and yarn. No crocheting necessary.

I JUST clicked on this and got excited and then was like "wait.....this isn't a baby one!" But now I'm glad I did!

What about just dressing as an 80s girl? Very easy to do and would fit your theme

They definitely make overalls for adults. Not sure how you feel about thrift stores but I'm sure you could find a pair there.
And ponytails or braids.

ETS: You can add a lollipop sticking out of the chest pocket.
And maybe a jumprope hanging out of your back pocket.
