DragonCon 2016: Spider-Gwen Costume

By
Spider-Gwen Cosplay Dragon Con 2016

It's almost Halloween (yay!) so I'm excited to finally show you my Spider-Gwen cosplay that I wore at Dragon Con last month. (If you're not familiar, Spider-Gwen is an alternate universe comic where Gwen Stacy was bitten by the spider instead of Peter Parker. Go read it!) Being under 5 feet tall, it can be hard to find full body costumes like this and it's also difficult to make one from a pattern since they're made for average proportions. 

This time I decided to purchase a custom-sized bodysuit from Zentai Zone instead of buying a pattern, re-proportioning it in Photoshop, having the Spider-Gwen fabric printed, etc... It took about 2 weeks for it to be made and delivered and it was pretty perfectly sized to me. Should I order another, I would add 1/2 - 1 inch to the torso size since the back zipper makes it so there's not as much give there. Other than that, perfect. 

The rest of the costume was purchased on Amazon. The wig was leftover from my Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors costume I wore last year and the ballet flats were basic and comfy. I got quite a lot of positive comments from the other congoers!

Should I dress up to hand out candy tomorrow, I'll probably be wearing this costume. I won't even have to deal with the wig since I have blonde hair now. (This costume may have convinced me I should go blonde for a little while...) I will tell you that peeing in this suit was a trick with the wig since I had to pull the neck part up over my head without pulling the wig off. Glad I won't have to bother with the wig this time!

So tell me - what will you be wearing for Halloween? Or did you already dress up? I wish Halloween was a national holiday so I could just stay up and watch my Halloween movie marathon all night tonight and all day tomorrow. But it's not and I'll be at work. Oh well!

I hope you have a happy Halloween and a great week ahead of you!

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

By

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Happy Monday! Although I'm not sure how many happy things I'll be doing since I have a ton of school crap to catch up on. I see lots of coffee in my future... Anyway, I wore this last Thursday to go out to lunch. I love this little leopard print dress and hadn't worn it with tights yet, so here it is! Stripes clearly go with leopard print, right? I'm just going to pretend they do. dress: modcloth | tights: c/o (last year) oasap | booties: xhileration - target | cardigan: so... - kohl's | sunglasses, necklace: forever 21 Have a great Presidents' Day - especially if you're off work/school!
