What I Wore Wednesday: Honey Boo Boo Halloween

One of my favourite things about being home this time of year is that I'm home for the Halloween party my Dad throws! I decided to stick with my reality theme from last year after I saw this dress on sale in Glasgow and knew who I had to be!



The scary thing to me is that this is a real dress; like from a store where you'd buy clothes to wear in your every day life not a costume place! It screams Toddler and Tiaras to me so I paired it with a crown, sash and of course "go go juice" to be Honey Boo Boo Chile. I've never actually seen her tv show (it's not on in the UK) but I thought it was a fun costume! NotBlondeHusband was the Dude from The Big Lebowski because he wanted someone with a beard and long hair and didn't feel like going all out. 



My friend Dana was a spider with balloons on her back for legs which was really cool! We've been friends for almost twenty years which is just crazy to me! She's got two super cute boys and hopefully we can find time to have a play date for them and Blondie Boy.



Allyson from Day in the Life was a pregnant nun which was funny because people couldn't figure out if she was really pregnant or not because they didn't know her. Plus when isn't it funny watching a pregnant nun eat alcoholic whipped cream? Note at this point in the night I thought it was "cute" to try and make Honey Boo Boo faces. I was wrong--it was not cute.



My friend Steve and I have been friends since we were 6. One Halloween many years ago he sacrificed me on the school playground to bring a mummy back to life. Don't worry it didn't work ;) Steve was Johnny from the Karate Kid. I've never seen the Karate Kid so I mostly enjoyed the costume because I had to staple him into it when the zipper broke towards the end of the night.

Did you go to a Halloween party this past weekend? What did you dress up as?

  9. I love this costume! I saw your tweet. We were spared the worst of the storm, but we don't have heat or hot water and neither of use has been to work this week. I might be going crazy from boredom.

  24. You look fabulous and there are some other great ideas for a costume (I like the idea of balloons for spiders legs). I just popped over from http://damsonlane.com to check out your lovely blog from Blog Your Own Blog Horn :D

  25. Ha! Love it! I'm glad you weren't actually sacrificed, because then you'd never have moved to Bonny Scotland and met us all. ;) Can't WAIT until they bring Honey Boo Boo here - perhaps we should start a petition to speed things up!!!!

  26. I know right? We were strange little kids. I'm all for writing a petition to get Honey Boo Boo to the UK!

  27. She was on Toddlers and Tiaras and now has her own show.

  28. I know it is scary that some adult has worn the same thing not as a costume!
