Over the years, we’ve dressed up as everything from dolls and monsters to Peter Pan, ET characters, and the Wizard of Oz. But in the past few years, one of our kids has usually chosen our costumes. If you look back, you can see that it is very clear. Candyland—Polly has had an obsession with playing Candyland for two years. Last year, we did Harry Potter because Greta and Faye were reading HP that year. We were supposed to go to Harry Potter World at the time, but our youngest got sick. (We got to go this year, and it was so much fun).
This year’s fashions probably won’t come as a surprise if you’ve been following them on social media. We’ve now played 3 versions of Clue this year, and my girls can’t get enough. We showed our girls that there are real Clue personalities, and they were so excited about it.
It’s kind of cool because almost all of our costumes are very wearable. In mommy’s world, this is the best kind of fashion. Faye decided she wanted to be Mrs. Peacock, and that came from those Target shoes that were peacock colors. Let’s buy Polly this red dress for Miss Scarlett, and she can wear it for Christmas without all the accessories. Greta being Mrs. White, I think I found the dress on American Eagle (similarly linked here), and she said, “Oh my God, I would love that.” Chris had no say in the matter, even thinking about Chris, of course, he was Colonel Mustard. And he just owned it in these photos… I chose Professor Plum mostly because I was dying to have a plum pantsuit in my collection.
If you want to tackle this topic yourself, I’ve rounded up my purchases and some other Clue-inspired pieces to get you started here.

Shop Clue Editions
There are a lot of versions of Clue out there. We have Downton Abbey, Harry Potter and Classic Editions, but there are so many more to collect! I just discovered the Bridgerton version as well as Clue Conspiracy which feels like a mix of Clue and a mafia party game… I can’t think of a more fun way to spend our next game night!
If you’re a fan of Clue, there are also some deluxe versions of the game. I can’t get over how gorgeous this wood is (and it’s 3D!) and I love that this book looks like a vintage book when packed away.
