As suggested by Isabel, today I’ve gone the theme “devo chic”. I’m not sure exactly what that entails, but for me, it’s basically an emo. So I present to you, Emo Mary…who looks about 17.

Day 27: Rainy Day
Today’s theme was a costume I had planned for a rainy day. Pun intended. When I think rain, I think wellingtons and when I think wellingtons, I think Paddington Bear.

Day 26: Egypt Revolution Day
July 23rd is the anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. So I thought today I’d go for a classic Egyptian queen theme channelling Cleopatra. And let me tell you, that classic hieroglyphics stance is a bitch to position, tres uncomfortable.

Day 25: Exercise
A couple of months back Tom and Alex had a breakfast show dedicated to exercise, if my blog had been around then, I would have dressed like this. I don’t know about you, but whenever I think of an exercise instructor, I think 80’s aerobics instructor, which equals lycra and leotards. Please note, the temperature at the time of…
Day 24: Batman
With the release of The Dark Knight Rises this week, it is all but appropriate to have a Batman theme. So I’ve chosen to dress up as my favourite Batman character – Catwoman. Furthermore, I’ve chosen to dress as the best Catwoman of all – Tim Burton’s (ain’t nobody got nothing on Michelle Pfeiffer yo!) The…
Day 23: Colombian Independence Day
July 20th celebrates the independence declaration of Colombia from Spain in 1810. So I’ve decided to dress up as the famous Colombian actress, Sofia Vergara from Modern Family. A hard one to really capture, but I think my generic ethnic look coupled with the photo frame (from the Modern Family opening titles) kind of gets me there. …
Day 22: Minnie Mouse
Did you know that Minnie Mouse wears yellow shoes? I didn’t until I googled her so I could dress up as her for today’s theme. The things you learn! Another interesting fact, I’ve owned the dress I’m wearing since I was 10. That’s right, I was a child fatty (aren’t we all learning today?) Final note: the…
Day 21: Marine Day
So Monday was Marine day (say that 20 times fast) and rather than miss out on a great theme, I’ve chosen to do it a couple of days late. It’s a Japanese national holiday celebrated on the third Monday of July, so if this was 2011 I’d be spot on. For such an occasion I…
Day 20: World Day for International Justice
July 17th – World Day for International Justice. At first I thought I might dress up as Ally McBeal, but that would have been lame, so I present to you Blind Justice. I’m actually quite surprised at how awesome this outfit turned out. I mean with a cardigan on, people at work thought I was princess Leia,…
Day 19: Tourist
Clementine suggested the theme of Tourist, and seeing as it’s been such nice weather lately, I didn’t want to pass up a photo opportunity with the sun. So today this blog goes SUPER DUPER un-politically correct (now with added stereotypes!) …and just when you thought I couldn’t get any cooler *cough* Blossom hat *cough*, I tell you…
