Something beginning with 'S'

CBC informed me a few weeks ago that we had been invited to his colleague's 30th birthday party and brilliantly, it was being held in our home town!  The theme of the party was 'S'

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:
A trio of sailors
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
Perhaps a bit tenuous, this one, but I could wear my wedding dress which is covered in stars, together with my working telescope necklace. I have star hairslides, star earrings and star necklaces.

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:
Eurovision sparkles
Worn in Eurovision Revisited
As well as this sequinned skirt- I have sequinned jumpers, tops and a nice little shrug and even a sequin necklace! Oh and sequinned shoes and even a sequinned beret.

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

Sparkly:
Same as the above

Sleepy:
Worn in TARDIS Tuesday Clara and the TARDIS
Could wear any of my Pjs really!


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.

Long John SILVER:

Could wear any of our pirate costumes.  Wish CBC hadn't got rid of the parrot, eye-patch and hoop earring!


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?

  1. 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!

    My 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!

  2. 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.

    I think I saw your outfit on Instagram so I won't guess.

  3. 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.
    I'm looking forward to seeing what costumes you both chose.

  4. 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.

  6. Whatever 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!

  7. Did you wear the Long John Silver pirate costumes? It's just a random guess. Not sure what I would have gone for ... xxx
