Day 31: Onesie

So tonight I have been invited to a Wigs and Onesie’s party. And as you may have guessed, rather than owning/wearing a regular onesie, I have one that turns me into a penguin #winning This is possibly the most comfortable costume known to man-kind.   Photo credit: Billy Rubin   Penguin Onesie: Cosy Pajamas Black Uggboots:…

Day 30: London

In celebration of the London Olympics Opening Ceremony tonight I have taken on the theme of London today. I don’t know about you, but when I think of London, the first image to pop into my head is a punk, circa Sex Pistols days. Get it in ya.   Photo Credit: Totally   Black Wayfarers:…

Day 29: Little Miss Sunshine

In 2006 on this day Little Miss Sunshine was released. It tells the story of a family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant, so they take a cross-country trip in their VW bus. With that I have chosen to dress up as Olive in one of the best known scenes…

Day 28: Devo Chic

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.   Photo Credit: Ziggy   Black Beanie: Sportsgirl Black Cardigan: Cotton On Black T-shirt with Indian Man print: Arcade Screen Printing Black…

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.   Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski   Red Hat: Felt Pirate Hat from Salvos Cobalt Blue Jacket: Cotton On Brown Tights: Cotton On Red Wellingtons: Glam…

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.   Photo credit: The Stephinacci Sequence   Gold headwear: Spotlight (trimming) Blue Maxi Dress: Bardot Gold Shell Earring: Diva…

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…
