While working from home for over a year during the pandemic, I was missing the office and my coworkers. So we marathon binged The Office in its entirety. With DragonCon 2021 not being canceled this year, but still being held with restrictions, I wanted a comfortable cosplay option for casual day wear. So we decided on costumes from Branch Wars (season 4, episode 6), fake mustaches and all.

I usually make my own costumes, but this trio was purchased right before the convention. I found custom shirts on Etsy and specifically requested Jim, Dwight, and Michael for the name tags even though their uniforms were “borrowed” from warehouse workers. I also don’t mind that the patches are on opposite sides in the show, which was over 10 years ago, after all. And I found super cheap stick-on mustaches on Amazon that we put on our faces and on the outside of our masks.

Mustaches: Allures & Illusions Fake Mustache Mustaches Novelty & Toy (36 Pack), Orange
We wore these costumes to watch the DragonCon parade on Saturday morning, and only took a couple silly selfies. But we made a lot of people laugh. Will definitely wear again, maybe even to my actual office some Halloween in the future.
