The title of this post is a play on words. It means, Halloween in a jiffy, but also, you’re gonna look “fly” if you take my advice and wear this costume.
That being said, tomorrow is Halloween and you don’t have a costume. What do you do? Well, you be the greatest Halloween costume of 2013, aka Olivia Pope of Scandal.
I predict that the Olivia Pope costume is going to be as popular as the Daenrys Targaryn Danerys Targareyn Khalessi of Game of Thrones costume was last year.
It’s understandable. A show becomes wildly popular and by its second season, everyone has caught on and wants to be the baddest chick in it.
Don’t let that dissuade you. Who cares if everyone else is wearing an Olivia Pope costume this year?! If anything, your Olivia Pope costume will unite you with fellow Scandal fans and y’all can bond over whether she should get with Jake or the President (Team Jake here) and that’s a GOOD thing.
Look, if you really feel the need to be “different” and “cool”, why don’t you go as Huck? Just get a fake mustache/beard, wear a plaid shirt, and go sit in a dark corner, shake, and look pitiful. If you can find a table to sit under the whole night, that would be even better.
Ok so, here is what you need for a quick and easy Olivia Pope costume –
1. Long white trench coat or any long white coat – no doctor/lab coats though!
2. White House Visitor’s Pass – just make one on your computer that looks like this one and then find a way to clip/hang it onto your white coat.
3. Style your hair in fabulous Olivia Pope waves –
And voilà! You’re Olivia Pope!
Other accessories that will enhance your Olivia Pope Halloween costume –
1. Walk around while “talking” on your cell phone. Look really serious and like you just received bad news. Things you can say are “Cyrus!” in an angry and hushed tone and/or “It’s handled.” Then, hang up the phone dramatically.
2. Hold a glass of wine and/or a bowl of popcorn. This will also save you money on drinks and snacks if you go out somewhere public.
3. If alcohol’s not your thing, hold a hot beverage. Again, always look as if you just received bad news.
4. Make sure your shoe and bag game are on point. The woman makes beacoup dollars and has impeccable taste, so do her justice.
Hope this helps! Happy Halloween!!!
