Dressup Games to Play at the Mall
Dressup games are always fun, but there is something about the fashion environment at the mall that makes them truly appealing. It might be the smells of fabrics or perhaps just the huge assortment of styles all around you, but heading to the mall on an otherwise boring day can bring you plenty to do with your spare time.
Dressup Games with Friends
When you head to the mall to play some fashion games, bring along a good friend and a camera. You will want to share the experience and taking pictures can make the fun last even longer. Pick a friend you are comfortable with and one that is up for an adventure.
When you arrive at the mall, head to a department store that has a wide variety of clothing styles and a large assortment of dressing rooms. Once you arrive, you will be taking on one task at a time. Start with something simple like a lovely formal gown. Both of you rush off to find a lovely formal gown to try on in the dressup games.
The next item in your fashion challenge could be the best pair of jeans. Then look for outfits that are totally preppy and those that are totally goth. Find clothing in any and every category you can think of and take them back to the dressing rooms to try on.
Trying on Clothes for Dressup Games
If you can find a collection of dressing rooms that are all but empty, you will definitely be in luck. Look for a large room the two of you can share, but be careful to leave it available if you think someone else might need it more. Once you are in the room, start trying things on. You have to do it at the same time. Both of you put on the formals and take pictures. Then put on your preppy outfits, killer jeans and goth outfits. Take pictures of the finished product each time.
You can post the pictures later for fun or just keep them so you can remember how you looked in a totally different situation. Taking pictures is the most fun of the entire game because you will quickly realize if you are comfortable in an outfit or not. If you are not, no worries – you have plenty more to try on. But if you hate to take it off, consider buying the outfit. This is a great way to build your wardrobe with quality pieces.
Cleaning Up Dressup Games
Before you head home with your pictures and perhaps a purchase in tow, be sure that you hang up all of the clothing you used. If you can, put the pieces back where they came from – it should be your job to clean up after yourself after all. At the very least, get everything back on the hangers correctly to make it easier on the sales lady who has to put it back.
