It’s raining meatballs. Quick! Dress up as Sam Sparks and Flint Lockwood

Dress up as Sam Sparks from the First Movie

Sam Sparks is the fun, friendly, and super smart weather news reporter. In the first movie, her most distinct outfit is a more professional look consisting of pants and a blazer jacket

	Coral Spaghetti Strap I love Sam Sparks’ color coordination – pastel shades are yummy and remind me of that ice cream scene. The reporter wears a simple coral top underneath a mint green blazer. She tucks in the top
	Mint Green Blazer Here’s a beautiful mint green blazer that is pretty affordable. Sam’s blazer seems to be made from a tweed texture, but I think this polyester/rayon piece will do just fine. Plus, I’d totally wear it to work!
	Wide White Belt She wears a wide white belt, which is very distinct since she tucks in the coral top.
	Dark Brown Skinny Jeans A basic pair of skinny pants will do just fine – preferably a dark brown shade. If you already have one lying around in your wardrobe, then that would do great. Otherwise, this piece (currently priced under 10 bucks) is a good choice and a good staple for everyday wear.
	Wireless Microphone Every reporter never leaves home without her microphone. Check out the additional fun detail you can add to your microphone on the next item below!
	Cube Logo Microphone Flag To look more like a reporter, slip your microphone inside the white cube (this cube’s hole measures 39mm). That’s the kind of mic you see reporters holding all the time, and the cube usually shows off the news station the reporter is representing. Sam Sparks works for Weather News Network, so if you’d like to make a small DIY project, check out my free printable Weather News Network logo below, which you can print and stick onto the cube to make it look more like a Cloudy with Chance of Meatballs prop!

I’ve recreated the network logo which you can print and stick on the mic cube box:

Dress up as Flint Lockwood – First and Second Movie

Flint’s look hardly changes in Cloudy with Chance of Meatballs part 2. He’s still very much comfortable with his graphic tee – lab coat look.

	Slick Back Wig He also still has that spiky hair. If you have medium-length hair at the moment, that would be perfect to work on – just apply some gel and create spikes, making sure there are a lot of thin spikes here and there, and keeping the hair slicked back away from the forehead. Otherwise, you can opt for this wig, which you would need to work on so that there are no bangs
	Freeze Spray Spray onto your wig to create a lot of thin spikes
	Blue Graphic Tee – Science is Awesome The original tee Flint wears in the movie says “Science is Awesome” very appropo for his character. It also shows a raining cloud. Spreadshirt offers a more similar replica (though not exactly the same either), but you can also just go for this shirt, which says the same thing and is also in a light blue color
	Close Replica of Shirt The design on this shirt is pretty spot on but the color of this shirt is not blue. None the less, it should carry the idea across.
	White Lab Coat Easy, easy, easy! If you have the one you used to wear during Science class (and it still fits you), feel free to reuse it. Otherwise, this one is priced reasonably and I’m sure you’ll find other lab gown wearing characters to dress up as in the future (like these). Trivia: This gown is made by Dickies (didn’t know they made lab coats, too!)
	Orange Backpack If you’d like to add details from the second movie, you can wear an orange backpack, which Flint sports during their journey.
	Vervet Monkey Plush Another detail from the second movie: bring along Steve, the monkey! Dress this plush toy up with a red,white, and blue headband
	Red, White, Blue Headband Wear this over your monkey plush toy. Just a note though – the plush toy is very small so I looked for the smallest headband around (for kids). You can also try the wristbands instead. If too lose, use a pin or clip to stick to little Steve’s head.

“Science is Awesome” Shirt

Here’s a look at the “Science is Awesome” design:

* This is not an exact replica. The colors are not correct (should be blue and yellow) but the gist is there

Dress up as Sam Sparks – Second Movie

Sam Sparks ditches her professional reporter ensemble and goes for a more relaxed, adventurer-type look! Even her hair, which was just kept down with a few waves during the first movie, has gotten a more outdoor look – tie some of your hair into a bun.

	Large Squarish Eyeglasses She wears a pair of eyeglasses with a large squarish frame. I think she looks really cute with it! It seems like it’s a tortoise frame, so choose the tortoise option when you go to this product page
	Purple / Violet Spaghetti Strap Camisole She’s still into the whole layering thing – she wears a plain violet camisole underneath
	Dark Pink Cotton Button Down Shirt She has ditched the structured blazer for a more relaxed shirt. I like the casual finish of this shirt, and it even has a pocket detail just like the one Sam has (this has 2, Sam’s has 1) Be sure to keep the shirt unbuttoned, fold the sleeves (make the folds thick!), and tie the bottom part the way Sam did it (think 80s, hehe!)
	Linen Shirt Here’s another good option. This is a few shades lighter than Sam’s but it has a nice airy look to it and should be easy to tie the ends of it
	Skinny Brown Belt Sam wears a skinny brown belt now, instead of the wide white one she wore on the first movie
	Cargo Shorts No safari explorer look is ever complete without khaki cargo shorts! This pair has a pocket detail on the bottom, just like Sam’s shorts
	Hiking Backpack She has a huge bulky hiking backpack
	Purple Socks I just loved this extra detail the animators put in! It ties great with Sam’s top.
	Brown Lace Boots Sam is probably wearing a pair of hiking boots, but if you have no intentions of hiking anytime soon, then consider buying a fashionable pair of combat boots instead. This one has gotten mostly great reviews and the color fits Sam’s boots too!
	Barry the Strawberry Plush For a cute little bonus: bring Barry the Strawberry and/or all the other Food Animal Plush! So cute!
