eet-sa me, mario!

Hey there, readers! I hope all of your Halloweens were super fun! The BF and I drove 5 hours to Dallas/Ft. Worth to visit my friend Karen for the weekend, which was great. I don't know what she's doing over there, 5 hours away from me. Doesn't she know that she should never be more than half an hour away from me at all times?!

Unfortunately, I woke up this morning with a massive headache and feeling all sorts of awful (it had nothing to do with yesterday, I swear), so I'll leave you all with my costume for the weekend:

American Apparel jumper + yellow buttons
GAP red shirt
Hue black tights
Soda black flats from GoJane + red hearts
White gloves from Party City
F21 knit beret + felt emblem + felt "bill"
mustache on a stick


I was Mario from Mario Bros. (or 'Maria' as the BF called me), and the BF was Luigi:


I'm looking away because I can't keep a straight face, knowing
the BF has on THE MOST RIDICULOUS MUSTACHE EVER.

My friend Karen went as a zombie schoolgirl, complete with crazy undead purple eyes:


My mustache on a stick obviously wanted in on this photo too.

  8. I believe mustaches on sticks should be mandatory for all life events.

  18. Anon @ 10:29 - Thanks! The mustache really makes it, no? Haha!

    Angela - It's so much more practical than buying a set costume too, since ideally, you can wear it again! (as seperate pieces, of course, haha!)

    Chloe - Thanks! The mustache had to be on a stick, otherwise my upper lip would be in an itchy tizzy right now. Ick!

    gigiofca - Aww, thanks!

    Pamela - Thanks! I'm glad he went along with it, haha! The Mario/Luigi thing was his idea, too!

    tastymoog - Thanks! Not bad for a costume we both put together in 3 days, right?

    e. - Thanks for the well wishes! And yes, those ARE indeed the red heart flats! I'm surprised you remembered!

    sarah - I agree with this. Someone should write this into law.

    tres tippy - Thanks! And you have such a knack for making costumes, you really could have a Halloween business, haha! And THANK YOU for the heads up on that campo dress, it is indeed the one I wanted! -crosses fingers- Wish me eBay luck!

    Maria - Yes, definitely! The name fits!

    goldenmeans - Theatre-date guy turned out to be a bust, haha, so no, this isn't the same guy! My BF was actually my BFF before he was my BF (did you catch all that?). I've known him for just about 6 years, and this relationship just kind of happened. He's amazing! I mean, it says a lot that he's alright with me sporting a Halloween 'stache, right? Haha!

    FB - Thanks! And your BF doesn't know about Mario and Luigi?! SHOCKING!

    Rosemary - Thanks! Ninetendo was the best! I can't play anything beyond the complexity of Super Smash Bros now, haha! Too many buttons on those controllers!

    sharon - Thanks! We were originally going to be a quartet, but being a duo was fun too!

    MODG - I agree, mustache stick for the win!

    OneFashionistaDiva - Thanks! Mario did have a set uniform, didn't he? Haha! So I guess there's not much room for fabulousness with overalls and a newsboy hat!

    Kristin - Thanks!
