Dress Up Games at the Mall

When you’re shopping, you’re playing a dress up game already. The best thing to do, however, is to give that game more structure and share it with friends. Here’s one idea of a dress up game you can try.

Instruct everyone to bring $20 to the mall. Obviously this isn’t enough to buy even a t-shirt, but that’s what makes the game so much fun. Tell your friends they have three hours to spend their $20 to make a complete outfit. They shouldn’t use anything they are wearing now except shoes and underwear, but they might be able to get new shoes, too – if they really know what they’re doing.

Of course, the goal of the game is not to buy cheap, ugly clothes. You should be looking for great styles that just happen to be on sale. Then snatch them up and meet your friends. Everyone heads back to your house for the unveiling. Transform your bedroom into a dressing room where everyone gets ready in their new outfit and does a bit of make-up and hair. Then, when everyone is ready, the $20 outfit contest begins with the best outfit winning bragging rights.
