Daily Style: Testing Cosplay/Lolita Maid Outfit

This week I have been planning for NärCon that starts next week! I will be working in a super cute Japanese Maid Cafe there. I have ordered my maid dress which hasn't arrived yet so i am freaking out a little bit.

But I have been working on accessories. I needed a maid headband or a bow for my hair, and I also made some cute wrist cuffs in colours to match my dress.

This was my big bow headband:






And my lolita headband:





I am pretty happy with my headband and i think i will wear this one and not the bow.

My wrist cuffs:



I will wear these too.

I have made a collage of what my whole outfit will be, if my dress comes...eeeep
My maid name is Haruka Chan


It's going to be really fun but scary and hard work to work the maid cafe. The convention is massive and i bet it will be nonstop. I am very nervous. 

I am also looking through what to wear when i am not working, since you are not supposed to keep your maid outfit on outside of work. 

Pastel easy outfit, since it will be very hot apparently >.<
I wore this the other day and thought it was really cute.









I think I will actually wear this wig with this outfit though:


The colours would be great together. 

Outfit:

Shirt: My new Marvel shirt from Primark.


Shorts: Pastel mint green shorts from Primark.


Tights: Super cute white cat tights from eBay here, for like two pounds! 

Another outfit for another day will be my pink pony lolita outfit. 
please remember i am still sick, and this was a very quick test




I am deciding between the pink platform trainers, or these white platform boots:









Outfit: 

Shirt: White shirt i have had for agessssss


Corset: Pink My Little Pony corset I bought on eBay from someone who made it, it is so lovely. 


Tights: The cat tights

Skirt: My homemade pink lolita skirt i bought, with a new petticoat underneath

Jewellery: Sweet Spirits ring and pony hair clip



Viollleville pony necklace

Plus my cute food rings and some cute pastel coloured bracelets.

Shoes: Pink platform trainers OR white platform boots, i don't know, HELP!




Here are some close ups and details: 





I might make some sort of white wrist cuffs for this outfit. 

I have decided on a couple of cosplays for the other days too - 

Saeko from Highschool of the Dead
and
Fionna from Adventure Time!

Saeko Busujima: 
please remember i am still sick, and this was a very quick test



She wields swords in the anime, and i don't have one apart from the Fionna sword hehe




I actually did a photo shoot with a friend who was Rei Miyamoto, (she also sewed my outfit for me since i am a noob), the shoot was in a closed school with zombies! It was awesome. Here is a couple of pics from it:






Anyway..... I will also be Fionna The Human!


So yes, i am freaking out since my dress has not arrived, it was supposed to come by the 7th of July. Sigh.

I think  i will have to order a new one, not the same one i wanted, but from the UK and get express delivery to make sure I have a dress to wear. I need a maid dress for the maid cafe! Such stressssss.

I will also be doing impromptu cosplay photo shoots at NärCon when i am not working the Sakura Garden Maid Cafe, look out for me!

Daily Style Choices

A larger blog post today, I had taken photos of me trying to pick what to wear to a theme park before i went on holiday last month. It was so hot but i didn't want to wear just a skirt because well, that is not good for roller coasters! So here are some of my outfits I tried on...

Skirt and leggings


Black shorts


Blue shorts


Just black shorts?


Black shorts and Gryffindor leggings.




I decided ot go with the shorts and leggings, I know you can wear the leggings without shorts but i dont feel confident enough to. Plus I swear you could see my underwear through them! The leggings were a good choice, nice and comfortable and they dried quickly after the water rides. I also got a couple of compliments about them. I also wore my DIY Bullet For My Valentine shirt.

Here is a new post from yesterday, i have been ill and am still ill so I am so tired and look horrible :(










Outfit: 

Dress: Black velvet dress I bought on eBay a long time ago, i finally brought it over to Sweden on my last trip to the UK!

Socks: My grey knitted extra long socks.

Shoes: I picked these up the other day herein Sweden when my mum was visiting, we spent too much in the shops together hehe They are from a brand called Roots and were in the sale for about £19. I liked hem because they are flat-forms. I have a thing for platforms. 


Headband: This is actually a UV cat ear headband I got on eBay a long time ago. I think it was from Prohibition Clubwear though. It is super cute but I find the way the elastic is attached with these metal popper things, my hair always gets caught in it and pulls out :( ouch

Daily Style: Skull Dress

I went to my local shopping centre yesterday, it feels weird to go back there after being in Sweden for over a year now. I ended up buying some cheap stuff in Primark! I do miss that shop.






Outfit:

Dress: This dress was a birthday present, it is really light and nice to wear. 

Waistcoat: I have a black waistcoat over the dress, i think it was from New Look or somewhere like that a long time ago.

Tights: I did start with white tights on but i threw them away because they wouldn't stay up!

Ring: I won this ring from Hysteria Machine, it is really cool. The eye has a great colour and if you look at it sideways it has that glass lens look that an eye has!

Necklace: My Supernatural necklace again from Heather's Homemade, i will do a detailed review soon.
