Okay, so I decided to tackle the “walk of shame” costume idea. It sounded hilarious, and I figured it would be pretty easy to put together. I was kinda right, kinda wrong.
Digging Through My Closet (and My Soul)
First, I rummaged through my closet. I needed something that looked like I’d slept in it – but, like, in a cute way, not in a “I haven’t showered in three days” way. I found an old, oversized band t-shirt. Perfect! It was wrinkled and had that “I borrowed this from a guy” vibe.
Then I searched for some bottoms. I had a pair of leggings that were a little faded. Good enough! The goal was “effortlessly disheveled,” not “I’m actually homeless.”
Accessorizing the Disaster
This is where it got fun. I needed some accessories to really sell the look. I remembered the sunglasses my friend have, they’ll do the trick. Grabbed those. Essential for hiding the “I haven’t slept” eyes.
- Sunglasses: Check.
- Messy Hair: I just ran my fingers through my hair and called it a day. No need for a brush.
- Smudged Makeup: I took my almost-empty mascara tube and dabbed it under my eyes a little. Not too much, just enough to look like I hadn’t taken my makeup off.
- Shoes: mismatched.
The Final Touch (and a Minor Panic)
I almost forgot the most important part: the “I’m trying to be incognito” element. I grabbed a baseball cap. It was plain, which was good, because I didn’t want to draw too much attention to myself.
I looked in the mirror, and honestly, I nailed it. I looked like I’d had a really fun night and was now paying the price. But in a fun, costume-y way, of course.
