In this modern era, our social lives can be frustrating. Our calendars are full of obligations. First, invitations start coming in at a trickle in the early spring. You’re still eager to socialize after the cold months of the winter so your answer is usually yes. Yes to children’s birthday bonanzas, yes to your second cousin’s second wedding, and yes to your neighbor’s kid’s graduation party. Before you know it you realize with horror that every weekend in your summer is full of SOLO cups and small talk, not a fly by the seat of your pants Saturday and Sunday insight.

If you’re looking for a way to slow down the invites and maybe even free up a couple of those weekends that were once booked to the brim, consider showing up to the next child populated party as a creepy clown. Now, we’re unsure whether parents would prefer a friend canceling their plans or a scary jester showing up at the pool party but we do know people will talk about your creepy antics. Why individually cancel all your positive R.S.V.P.s when by showing up as a creepy clown, you’ll be the dread of every birthday bash in town? After this, you’ll be doing them a favor by playing hooky from their soirees.

Whether you plan to use this outfit to make yourself the town outcast or you’re going to wear it to your next costume party (much more socially acceptable) you’ll love how flattering this ensemble is. The dress has a fitted bodice and full skirt with subtle clown polka dots and red and white circus stripe accents. The off-shoulder sleeves are made of a sheer black material the matches the red and white striped ruff. So put aside that bottle of bubbly you were thinking of bringing to your next social obligation and pick up your balloon animal kit, this weekend is about to get interesting.
