I knew I didn't want to buy anything specially really (when I say that, I mean, I don't want to buy a complete, ready-made costume. Small, reusable items or little additions to make a costume would be ok if necessary), I had a think about some ideas could be achieved using things that I already had:
Sailor:

| Worn in In the Navy blog post. |
Sarah Jane Smith
| Worn in TARDIS Tuesday The Sarah Jane Adventures:Invasion of the Bane |
Star-gazer
![]() |
| Worn in New Year's Swing Fling |
Snow Queen:
| This featured in my recent post on World Book Day ideas |
Stripes:
I have many striped outfits- but this top and skirt from this cosplay would go fine together (along with some stripy tights!)

| From my TARDIS Tuesday Romana outfit |
Sequins:

| Worn in Eurovision Revisited |
Silver:
I bought a silver sparkly jacket/cardie in the charity shop and I also have silver sparkly leggings and shoes!

Same as the above
Sleepy:
| Worn in TARDIS Tuesday Clara and the TARDIS |
Sleeping Bag:
I don't have any in a picture but could have worn my sleeping bag!
Would also have been easy.
Space:
Could resurrect my Space outfit from Science Week last year.

Oh, so here is a list I have made, from what I can remember, of what people wore to the party.
Costumes at the party (that I can remember...):
Shrimp
Strawberry
Sherlock Holmes
Scottish
Space
Solar System
Shark
Shark and Swimmer
Scuber Diver
Snorkeller
Safari
Sims
Spartan
Star
Satan
Snow White
Skeleton
Spice Girls (all of them!)
and many more I have already forgotten.
So...what did I decide to wear...?
Well, I will share my costume in the next blogpost!!!
In the meantime, can you guess which one I wore? If you know already, don't give it away!
Which of my ideas would you have chosen if you were the one choosing?

You are so creative with clothes / costumes! I'm going to guess you went as with the space one near the end as I really like that one!
ReplyDeleteMy sister and her other half had to go to a fancy dress party a few years ago as something beginning with P. They went to the charity shops, bought 'old person' clothes then sources wigs, thick glasses and an inflatable zimmerframe from ebay and went as pensioners. They looked brilliant, I have a photo somewhere!
What an excellent idea for a party theme! I think I would have gone with stars as I have so many items with them on. I LOVE your starry wedding dress by the way.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw your outfit on Instagram so I won't guess.
Oh what fun... I love the starry dress and CBC could go as The Saint in Simon Templar by Roger Moore. A little beauty mark on the face, a bowtie and a halo and maybe a suit or something appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what costumes you both chose.
I *love* these outfits. Your taste is so similar to mine that I can imagine myself in any of these. That shared style inspires me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I love your inspirations!
ReplyDeleteWhatever you wore, I'm sure it was a cute "S," Kezzie! Now that I have lost the stress weight from my teaching years, I am getting a little more excited about fashion. You inspire me!
ReplyDeleteDid you wear the Long John Silver pirate costumes? It's just a random guess. Not sure what I would have gone for ... xxx
ReplyDeleteI like the sailor outfit the most. It suits you and is very pretty too.
ReplyDeleteYou are just so creative with clothes and costumes.
ReplyDeleteLove your ideas.
All the best Jan
