"Come dressed as your favourite phrase" costume ideas

[Makeitblue]

I've been invited to a 30th birthday party for which guests are being asked to come dressed as their favourite phrase! Wracking my brains for ideas but can't think of anything particularly good. I don't want to be too OTT because I'll have to wear it on a train for 2 hours.

Search for 'idiom dressup' it seems to be a thing. The easiest one looks like a t-shirt printed with a / lots of social media logos and a pair of wings for - social butterfly

Don't put your eggs on one basket and Hold your horses sound like relatively easy ones too.

Phrase… nap time…wear jammies

Wear what you like, what makes you feel fabulous (whether that is glamorous or comfortable is up to you).
Your favourite phrase being: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

Dressed as a mountain, occasionally shout out 'You're going to be in trouble if I have to come over there, young man, so you better get here right now, Mohammed!' — well you can probably guess.

Hang a rat under your nose and look distrustful.

'A light supper' - make a hat out of bread and butter with a boiled egg on top.

I'd do "adult human female".
