Theme Me: Costume, Fancy Dress & Theme Inspiration

Day 9: A Night At The Roxbury

Tonight at Teen Spirit the theme is “A Night at the Roxbury”, one of my favourite films from the 90’s. I’ve gone for a mix of the main characters Steve and Doug with the shiny blue shirt, but then mixed in a little bit of 90’s minx with the black mini and standard brown lippy. One last…

Day 8: Joey Jeremiah

If you were a kid growing up in the 90’s in Australia, then there is a high probability that you have watched Degrassi Junior High. A teen drama that followed the lives of a group of students in junior high tackling adult issues. That, or you saw the remake they did a couple of years ago that…

Day 7: Americana

July 4th: Independence Day. No better fitting theme for today than Americana. So as per my Canada Day homage, I have decided to dress up as my favourite fictional American character: Rex Kwon Do from Napoleon Dynamite. In the paraphrasing of such a great man: “Take a look at what I’m wearing, people. You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the…

Day 6: Space

Space, the final frontier, but only the sixth theme. July 2nd is World UFO Day, so it seems I’m a day late…but then again we have yet to build a flying car, so we’re used to being behind. Deal with it. I’ve gone for a space cadet look, ergo the dog tags. Later Vader. …

Day 5: Stepford Wife

Today I am lucky enough to be a contestant on Ready Steady Cook. Ready Steady Cook is an Australian cooking competition show that pits two teams against each other, Team Capsicum and Tomato – consisting each of a professional chef and an audience member. Both teams aim to create the best entrée, meal and dessert…

Day 4: Canada Day

The 1st of July is Canada Day. So what better way to spend it then dressed up as my favourite fictional Canadian character: Robin Scherbatsky…or rather, Robin Sparkles. For anyone who isn’t an avid fan of How I Met Your Mother, Robin Sparkles is the teen-aged Robin Scherbatsky’s alter ego which she used during her time as a…

Day 3: 1920’s

I’ve been invited to a birthday party with the theme: 1920’s. I’ve used Chicago as my inspiration for this outfit. Please excuse the lack of photoage, my camera ran out of battery so I had to use my iPhone :S Photo credit: Holmes Headpiece: Diva Red Fringe Dress: SES Pearls: Thailand Black Velvet…

Day 2: That Shit Cray

My motto for the year has been the signature line from Jay-Z and Kanye West’s track N*ggas in Paris. That is why I thought it appropriate to have this as the theme for my birthday party. The idea is that basically any aspect, or all the aspects of my outfit combined cause you to pronounce:…

Day 1: Little Red Riding Hood

Welcome! Today is the first day of a personal challenge where I plan to dress to a different theme everyday for a whole year. Today is also my 26th birthday, a day that should signify my journey WELL into adulthood and maturity…the problem, I’ve never really quite grown up. That is why I thought…
