If you’re a real one (which you are, because you’re here) then you know what day it is today. It’s October 3rd. The fateful day when Cady Heron began her journey of coming-of-age lessons in a new high school & a new town. Since 2004, Mean Girls has been close to our hearts 💖and in our convos. Here at HQ, it’s not out-of-the-ordinary for someone to quote Mean Girls in a top-level marketing meeting. You go, Glenn Coco!
We wanted to celebrate the iconic day the only way we know how – by dressing up as our favorite characters! Dreams do come true, fam.

When you think of Mean Girls, you think of the two “outcasts” who really have some of the most LOL lines in the movie – Damian & Janis. We recreated Damian v cozy look when he screams out –

This is the perfect Halloween costume if you’re extremely lazy! Shop the hoodie: basic fleece hoodie, and the dark sunnies: square sunglasses.
Another super quick & easy Halloween costume is Regina George, in the scene where Cady & Janis try to embarrass her by cutting holes in her tank top. Unfortunately, she really doesn’t care and wears it as if it’s done on purpose. Everyone loves it!

Get the look: ME to WE racerback white tank top

So happy October 3rd! We hope you celebrate by re-watching the cult movie with your pals, by wearing pink, by whipping out a hilarious quote, or by dressing the part.
So fetch!
