dressed up

During these tough times of lockdown, people are finding all sorts of ways to entertain themselves. Whether it's dressing up in periodic costumes or reenacting iconic movie scenes, people are certainly getting creative. One guy; a former Royal Marine from Weymouth, England, decided to share the joy and make his neighbors laugh by dressing up in crazy costumes whenever he walks his dog. His fellow former Royal Marine Jack P. documented the hilarious dressing up choices each day and posted them on Twitter. They might be totally crazy but we're sure they brightened up the day of everyone who saw him! 

Fashion provides an opportunity for people to express their individual style and personality. But more than that, it also allows you to live vicariously through other characters, by dressing as they would. Dressing up is an outlet and means to imagine what you'd look like as another person or character and that's exactly what Danielle & Nicole, British twin sisters do on their Instagram account. Using vintage clothing, they recreate famous animated characters from movies or our favorite pop icons with beautiful results. Check out some of their amazing clothing creations below. Which is your favorite? 

Pregnancy is a time when your body goes through many changes, both physically and hormonally. Many women document the progression of their pregnancy but one woman did it in the most creative way. Grace Horine, a photographer from Barcelona who lives in Orlando, Florida with her husband Brennan, created weekly pregnancy updates on Instagram that combined their love of Disney, Harry Potter, and The Office. Each week, Grace dressed up as a character from one of their favorite shows and posed next to a chalkboard which listed what trimester and week of her pregnancy she was as well as indicating the baby's size and a quote that usually had something to do with whatever character she was portraying. What an original to document her beautiful journey to motherhood. Check out the pictures below, including one of gorgeous baby Charlotte who is in the final photograph. 

Izabela and Lucus Pitcher — a Buckinghamshire couple who own a costuming business — have been dressing up in historical costumes for their daily walks and "lifting the spirits" of fellow villagers in the process. Since all the events, re-enactors and museums who usually use their costumes have been canceled, the couple has found a new use for them in this difficult time. Izabela posts pictures of her and her husband in costume on Instagram and then hosts a quiz asking villagers to name the era and revealing them the next day. Here is a selection of some of their costumes; can you work out their correct eras?

Britney is many things, but a democratic socialist? This is one we didn't see coming. Her recent Instagram post calling everyone to "feed each other and redistribute wealth" during this unsettling time has left her Instagram army with mixed views. But at least something great has come out of it... and that is these pictures of Britney dressed as various Revolutionist leaders. Perhaps she even found inspiration from a few of them to pen her recent post! Look who is making a comeback... it's Britney, b**ch!
