Zoe My Gosh!

Truth: I'm way proud of my costume this year. We went to a party on Friday and most people had NO clue who I was supposed to be (one person guessed Guiliana Rancic, which I think is pretty close, but otherwise it was a lot of blank stares). I thought that might happen, so before I show you how I looked, let me show you Rachel Zoe:


And here is my interpretation:



Bananas. All I need now is an adorable toddler. (Hubsey dressed up like Rachel's husband, so I had someone to say "Babe!" to all night.)

I wrote a post about this for Marilyn's blog last week, and I realized that I only had to buy the maxi dress; everything else I already had in my closet. The faux leather jacket was an impulse buy five years ago when I was working at Macy's and we had to wear black over everything, but I feel like this application really justifies the purchase. Team Zoe!


Oops, blurry!

I'm so happy with how it all came together. This is one of my favorites, not just because I think it's pretty dang accurate, but because it was really comfortable. And no face paint! It was so easy to eat. Did you dress up for a party this weekend? What about for trick-or-treating on Thursday? If you have kids, what are they going to be? I hear my little nephew is going to be Peter Pan! Aaaah!

  1. Fantastic! Spot on and looks very very comfortable. You just needed a dress so long you could trip on it (but I guess that's because she's so short?). That is ridiculously awesome that all you had to buy was the dress, and now that can be a staple piece in your wardrobe. And kudos for having a husband who will go along with such a scheme!

  2. Wow, fabulous Paige! Nice touch with the jewelry and holding the drink :)
    Over here people only dress up during carneval time in February, but it would be fun to go to a Halloween party!

  7. I think you nailed it. Maybe if you kept saying "I DIE!" every 5 seconds people would've guessed sooner. Also, if you could somehow shrink down to tiny miniature human size. That part is harder I guess.

    We didn't go to any dress-up parties this year. It's a good thing too because I've had no time to come up with a costume so whatever I did would've probably been last-minute and lame. I'm super excited to see the kids on Halloween though. Last year, we only got maybe 10 kids. Hopefully, this year we'll get more. :)

  10. great glasses! Being comfortable is huge! Kudos to your husband!
    I once wore a costume so very uncomfortable that I couldn't sit down and later had bruises on my shoulders.

  11. Well I guess I'm way behind times 'cause I have no idea who Rachel Zoe is (a model?) but you did a great job looking like her!!

    1. She's a celebrity stylist and had her own TV show on Bravo for a few years, which is how I know who she is. I watch a lot of reality shows, haha.
