We are all familiar with Willy Wonka and the contest he held to get people to come to his chocolate factory. This is a costume I have been wanting to do for years, so I am so excited that I finally am doing it and I get to share with all of you! Here is how I turned into Violet Beauregarde, the gum chewing champion turned blueberry.  Violet Beauregarde has a very iconic look and is very recognizable.

I have put together 7 different outfits for you to take inspiration from and create outfits from your closet. So here is my week full of spring outfit ideas for you!
