Kimono Baby

Question: Halloween costume for a one and half year old?
I bought a cute little kimono for my daughter to wear for Halloween but I can't think of anything else to go with it. What kind of shoes should she wear... is there any kind of head dress that might be appropriate (and I should mention I can't use any kind of dye in her hair... she's only a baby and she also has bad dry skin problems). If you have any suggestions please let me know! Thanks!
Answer: When My daughter was two I had her dressed in a kimono as well. What I did was go to a local Asian store (primarily a food store) and bought some cute pink sandals imported. (they matched the colors in the Kimono) They were only a couple dollars. Then I did her hair in a bun with bobby pins and attached silk flowers. Depending on length of her hair...You could just leave some strand off the back of the neck and put a little curl to them if they don't have them already. You mention a skin problem so maybe just some lipstick if you want a more geisha look. Go to google.com and click on the image search and type in Geisha ... there are a lot of photos to look at and get ideas as well.
Good luck hope this helps!!!
BTW - Everyone thought my girl was stunning and original - I hope you get the same response.
