Disneybound Day 5: Ursula

I had a lot of fun with this one. I got to do sassy poses. Or at least try.

Mostly I ended up with slightly awkward faces but oh well.

I also discovered that outside is a much better place for picture taking. The lighting is so much better.

I also tried to look a little evil. Did I do okay?

Dress: Target

Cardigan: Thrifted

Shoes: Thrifted

Hair flower: Claires

Necklace: Made it myself. 

Disney Day 3: Lottie!

Okay so Charlotte La Bouff (Lottie) from Princess in the Frog may be my favorite Disney character. Quite a lot of that has to do with how much I'm like her.

I just adore how excited she gets about everything. Which I also do. Plus she's a very loyal friend, which I strive to be. Also we both love pink! So I had a lot of fun dressing in nearly all pink for the day. Plus I got to wear my favorite hat. Lottie-like poses were so much fun to do. So I sort of went a little overboard. Sorry for the less than stellar lighting, I'm still getting the hang of my new camera.

Hat: Claire's

Dress: Thrifted

Tights: Forever21

I didn't have any pink or white shoes that weren't sneakers so I went with these brown vintage-y looking heels instead. Which were also thrifted.

I also experimented with taking some pictures of my makeup. I hope they turned out okay. (Earrings are also from Claire's)

That's all for now. See you tomorrow internets!

With love,

Caity

A Month of Disneybounding Day 1: Pirates of the Carribean

I decided to go with something comfier today because it is still raining and I had work. I like wearing things that are easy to move in when I'm shelving books. So of course I through on my pirate boots for a slightly pirate-y outfit inspired by my favorite Disney Parks dark ride: Pirates of the Caribbean. (Disclaimer I haven't been to a Disney Park since I was nine. This opinion is purely the result of childhood nostalgia.) 

I don't know why but black and white stripes make me think of pirates. Maybe it's the nautical look they have. The red because it seems to a pretty common color used for pirate themed things. And of course got to have those skull and crossbones. 

Lots of skull and crossbones.

Fun Project/Challenge for March

Y'all probably don't know this about me, but I am a huge Disney Nerd. So when I stumbled Disney Bound on tumblr awhile ago I was super happy. It perfectly combines my love of Disney and Fashion. Plus it's a little bit like secret cosplay which I love. To get to the challenge party I will be wearing a different Disney inspired outfit for the whole month of March and blogging about it of course.

Monthly Theme: Purple!

This month's theme is purple and as I nearly forgot about until I checked Sophistique Noir's blog yesterday. Of course I am at my mom's this weekend and have none of my few purple items with me. Except for my nails which I painted lavender before I knew about the theme. Yes I occasionally paint my nails in pastels. I think it's a lovely contrast to my much darker outfits. 

A picture of my nails doesn't really make a full post though, so I hopped on over to polyvore to make some outfits with purple in them. There's four, three in goth styles I wear frequently and one in a style I've recently discovered. 

1. Neovictorian Goth

One of my favorite goth styles that was actually the first thing that got me into the subculture in the first place. I learned about steampunk from a friend and down the rabbit hole I went. But that is a story for another post. 

2. Gothabilly

My second favorite style! Probably the one I wear the most often because it's just easier to pull on a dress and throw on some shoes. At least for me. Plus I can wear it at work, though not really with a necklace like this one. Sidenote: I really want that necklace in every color it comes in. (No more purple left but you can find it in black, pink and red here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/StrangerDangerAU?ref=seller_info)

4. Casual/T-shirt and Jeans Goth

I wore variations of the outfit above in high school all the time. Once I started college though, I pretty much stopped wearing jeans most of the time for a long while. Recently though, I've been making use out of all the graphic tees I have once again. It's a cute easy way for me to feel me without having to dress up. Plus I have too many tees to not wear them. I'm still lusting after this Alice one though. 

4. Kinderwhore/Kindergoth

This would be the style I've been interested in the most recently. I've liked the music of the bands that inspired this style, Hole, Babes in Toyland, Jack Off Jill, etc. since high school. Fast forward a month or so ago when I was looking through Sary Walrus's very old posts and this post in particular: http://ourwalrusroom.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/kinderwhore-my-next-favourite-fashion.html made me really want to try the style out. Since then I've been looking for a good pair of combat boots and finally found some today at Target. I will have an outfit post with them soon! That is all for my purple post. Tomorrow I will hopefully have the Guam pictures up. 

'Till we meet again,
