Scrubs
“My dad is a doctor, so our Halloween costumes were always scrubs. I did grow up to become a doctor, but I wear pants now. My sister also became a doctor, but one who takes breaths and doesn’t stand at attention like she is here. My brother didn’t become a doctor, and he doesn’t (normally) look like he just killed something and got blood all over himself. My dad looks like he’s midst rolling his eyes at our antics… that or seizing.”

Recreation Ahoy
“My sisters and I decided to do a 40-year recreation of us in these gawd-awful sailor outfits. We had them made and set the stage for a Mother’s Day gift for our mom.”

52 Years Of Matching
Singer Anthony Gargiula already has a robust following on Instagram, Vine, and Twitter, but his grandparents have helped him take it to the next level. Recently, Gargiula tweeted that his grandparents, who have been married for 52 years, still match their outfits every day. The Tweets have been retweeted over 39,000 times, which is only slightly higher than the number of outfits the couple has coordinated.

The Outfit Checklist
“My checklist for leaving the house: plastic visor? Check. Awkward goggles? Check. Pink plastic Swatch watch? Check. Michael Jackson-style glove? Check. Outfit purchased at the thrift store? Check. Self esteem much higher than situation warrants? Check. ‘I’m ready, let’s hit the road!'”
