How do you accesorise in red when they dc have to wear full school uniform which includes a red jumper

[islandofsodor]

Dd and ds's school have decided to allow children to accessorise/wear 1 red item for comic releif. However their uniform is red anyway. Grey pinafore/trousers. White shirt, red tie and red jumper.

Dd is allergic to face paint. What can I send her in? And what about ds?

red hats/wigs?

How about those red 'bopper' things for her head? they're being sold specifically for comic relief at sainsburys.

red hairspray? ott bobbles in hair(red of course!)

Lots and lots of tiny plaits, each with a red hair ribbon. Boppers sound good too!

DS school is doing the same he has decided on red trainers

Claire's Accessories have fab sparkly cowgirl hats atm.
And you might find a red bandana for DS in a fancy dress shop.

I've got umpteen red bandanas (pirate part accessories)

Boppers sound good, think dd would like them.

I do have a red feather boa that was part of a costume but it REALLY leaks feathers EEVRYWHERE

what about red stripy / sparkly tights?

red socks? or a red shirt/trousers for a change?

I do have a very sparkly red tailcoat. It's age 12 and dd is 7 but maybe it would fit.

Red hair (spray or wig)
Red fancy headband thing
Red nose
Red OTT hair bobbles

Aha! I was wondering that. We only have red jumpers atm. So red nose and red bandana etc. Excellent.. we have those.

Ruby slippers so she can spend whole day saying "there's no place like home..."

Red hair is out as she is performing in a local festival the next day and in a concert on Sunday so can't risk it not coming out.

She wants to wear a plastic ring with a red stone?????????????

When I read the thread title I thought it meant how would the parent match handbag and shoes etc to child's clothes and then thought ''surely not - what mumsnetter would admit to that dilemma''
