We might just start from the other end, with sunglasses &amp; black pants &amp; T-shirt, then see who we think he looks like. I saw a guy at a Halloween party once who wore that, and then put tape down his middle and cars going up and down on the “road”. But alas, that’s a sure recipe for disciplinary action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-tell-who-we-are#post-1856248 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 17:23:03 +0000 The Cat 1856248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I can tell you are mother and son!

If you search for "Disneybounding," you'll come up with a lot more. Because adults wearing costumes aren't allowed in the parks except around Halloween, a lot of people come up with similar "inspired by" outfits. SO clever! Last year at Disneyland I saw a couple doing Han and Leia that was just genius. Very subtle, but when they're together, blindingly obvious who they were. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-tell-who-we-are#post-1856079 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 06:11:22 +0000 rachylou 1856079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Jenn is smart! I wanted to say Harry Potter even tho I knew that was wrong. Something between the clock tower, knee socks and backpack just made me think ‘school.’ Would a person get in trouble for wearing orange and black?</p> <p>Oh and my fave nod to fae folklore - wear something inside out... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-tell-who-we-are#post-1856073 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 05:53:09 +0000 Gigi 1856073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw someone at a party tonight dressed as the UPS man: Dark brown button-down and shorts, plus black socks and shoes. And he carried a cardboard box that was supposed to be a package. This would be somewhat subtle but maybe not fun enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-tell-who-we-are#post-1856059 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 03:56:20 +0000 Anonymous 1856059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For something the kids will "get" be may sneak by the school authorities, maybe some character in a game or anime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-tell-who-we-are#post-1856031 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 02:27:58 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1856031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce B, lol, you are right! And Jenn, you are also right, and I’m laughing with you too, because I wasn’t going for subtlety with mine, just ease. </p> <p>But for school next week, I’d love to find him a subtle costume, so he doesn’t get caught going against the costume ban, and that is how I came up with his, with some “snacks” sticking out of his backpack. He doesn’t like it, so it’s back to the drawing board! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-tell-who-we-are#post-1856019 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 01:20:37 +0000 Joyce B 1856019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oy, sorry about my lack of imagination.<br /> I still love the picture though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-tell-who-we-are#post-1856017 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 00:51:56 +0000 Jenn 1856017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Velma and Shaggy?

I came up with the idea of a green shirt and snacks sticking out of his backpack as a "Shaggy" costume. Unfortunately, he doesn't like the shirt (because of the neckline; he's got a point). </p> <p>Can you help us come up with other costume ideas that rely on fairly common clothing items and accessories/props? </p> <p>Dark glasses frames and a white Oxford could be Clark Kent; a Superman T-shirt underneath might get him sent to the principal's office. He thinks the shirt is too stiff, so that idea's out, even without Superman. </p> <p>Orange shorts and a pink shirt could be Dora the Explorer, but he doesn't own either piece of that outfit (and wouldn't wear them if he did). </p> <p>Red shoes and gingham anything = Dorothy, but again, he's not into gender-bending right now (despite a very gender neutral childhood, dolls and all). </p> <p>What other creative, very simple and subtle costumes are there? If they have puns in them, even better!</p> <p></p>
