Happy Halloween! I’m kind of obsessed with how this costume turned out. The Princess Diaries was one of my favorite series when I was younger and even met Meg Cabot once at a book signing. (Somewhere in my childhood bedroom is the scrapbook I have of the day.)
Anyway, I also have Mia hair. Getting a CHI in eighth grade changed my life– not to be dramatic or anything 😉 I thought I may do this and started to hunt online. Honestly, as the two looks started to come together, I was getting more and more excited. Once I found this pair of Doc Martens in my size on Poshmark, I was sold.
I bought this shirt, necktie, socks, and skirt from Lands’ End… and let my hair do its natural thing!
The Princess part came out even better than I thought it would! I searched everywhere for a dress that the Queen of Genovia would be proud of. I found some options on Amazon that were the right colors but seemed more prom than royalty. Then I found this randomly on Poshmark in my size and it was meant to be. Crown and gloves were both found on Amazon.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween! It’s supposed to be quite rainy here so hoping it doesn’t put too much of a damper on things.
Oh my goodness-these are PERFECT. You could have fooled me-you look just like Mia! One of the best movies. Happy Halloween!

These are beyond perfect and you are STUNNING!! Holy cow, Carly!!
This is so great!! You could (and should!) repurpose the Mia costume to be Rory Gilmore in the future. Just add a big yellow backpack, some books and a coffee cup and you’re set!
This is so perfect!! One of my favorite childhood movies and book series.
I can’t deal.
LOVE this costume idea! So so cute and creative. You fit it perfectly! Enjoy your first Halloween in your new home!

I LOVED the Princess Diaries!! Such a fun costume idea and that gown looks perfect on you. You should add “Princess” to your list of backup life plans. 😉
Also, I’m excited to hear about your first Halloween in the new neighborhood. Will you be at home, waiting for trick or treaters?

SHUT UP this is too creative!! well done carly!
What is a CHI?
A hair straightener!
That tie would also be perfect for a Gossip Girl costume. Have you ever done Blair? Haha.
These two looks are fantastic and so unique for Halloween! You look like Mia, especially in your princess dress! <3
Perhaps your most on-brand post ever! You got every detail down to a t!
Oh my gosh! I wish you were starring in a movie so I could watch it and see all your looks and outfits that followed… and what happened in your movie. You look absolutely gorgeous as the princess. You look authentically like a true princess! Fantastic costume… Or should I say costumes. Your natural hair is so thick and luscious and beautiful …I am envious! This is definitely a winner!
This may be my favorite costume of all time! I love this!!
