WASP Wednesday: Halloween

With Halloween just around the corner Muffy and I could not think of a more suitable topic than WASPy Halloween costumes!

Of course there are many classic costume ideas that WASPs bring out on All Hallows Eve (think Country Clubber, Squash Player, Jackie O, etc). However, I think every WASP likes to go back to their European roots at times and what better a time than Halloween?!
For the male there is the classic Scotsman outfit.

Now, if you are very well prepared or just super WASPy you might actual have one of these in your tartan! You can sport it with pride and maybe even do a little hills dancing too? Ladies might also enjoy matching the man in a traditional Lassie outfit.
However, should you all choose to go your separate ways you can always go way back to your roots and be a pilgrim! The American WASP can celebrate history and their country on Halloween night, who knew?!
Now of course some WASPs always lean a bit more towards the other side of the Atlantic. The Sloane Ranger in you is always partial to the Windsor family so why not go as the famous Princess Diana and Prince Charles? This one is always a classic for the young and old. Of course you could also be Kate and Prince William if your heart yearns to be a younger royal (and almost royal) for a day. Otherwise, the Sloane Ranger enjoys any British historical figure of which there are plenty to choose from!
When I was little mother was loved all things British (just as she does now). She ordered the most darling WWII nurse outfit from The White House in London (sadly, they have now closed their doors, but Diana bought things for William and Harry here- it is a small claim to fame for me!!) for me. I wore this and pushed our dog, Pepper, in my mini version of my Silver Cross pram and was a vet! It was a complete British outfit and looking back I must say it was quite cute too. I hope this was saved because I would use it in the future!
So no matter how young or old you may be this All Hallows Eve be sure to add just a touch of WASP to your night (note: this does not have to be in the form of a costume, it can be in your manners too)!!
