Avengers Campus Preview

Posted on June 6, 2021May 30, 2021 by Kimapult

At the time I wrote this, I have a week until my trip to Avengers Campus at Disney’s California Adventure, so I wanted to preview my new outfit.

This campus bound was really easy to put together, and to make it even easier, all the pieces (with the exception of the ears) are from Amazon! Click on the links to buy.

I started with the skirt. I wanted to make a poodle-type skirt, but with an Avengers twist. So, I found patches for each of the original Avengers and applied them in place of the poodle.

I paired the skirt with my go-to petticoat and belt.

I added a tank and cropped cardigan and my trusty Chuck Taylors. My pin was from Miniso, but unfortunately it is no longer available, so I found you one on Amazon. My ears are from Etsy and the Loungefly is a classic style, but I found a similar one on Amazon.

Happy Shopping!

Trip to Avengers Campus coming soon…

Outfit of the Day

Outfit of the Day: Bucky Barnes

Posted on June 3, 2021May 11, 2021 by Kimapult

For our latest outfit of the day, I have a great outfit I put together celebrating Bucky Barnes.

The tee is from Amazon and comes in both men’s and women’s cuts. They had plus sizes in women’s, so I didn’t have to get a men’s tee and alter it. Always a plus!

The skirt was on sale at Hot Topic, so I snatched it right up. I love the length on it. It is a skater skirt, but not too short.

I paired it with an arm warmer from Amazon for Bucky’s vibranium arm. Then I finished it with my tall boots from Forever 21 that I absolutely love.

Click on links to buy. Happy Shopping!

Notes on Gender References: Let me start with clothes have no gender! However, sometimes I do need to make a gender reference in regards to a piece. I promise the only reason I say, "ladies' boots" or "men's pants" is to let you make note of what department I found them and for sizing. This tends to happen mostly with shoes. You'll be shopping on a site and the sizing listed will be men's for a pair of boots. I own several "men's" pieces in my closet because it does not matter. What does matter is that you guys get the size you need and not an unpleasant surprise when a piece arrives and the sizing is all wrong for your body. This site is for all humans, and I want you to feel welcome. If there is ever anything that I write that gives you pause, please let me know so I can fix it and do better.

Thanks, Duckies!

Kim Henderson McAndrew is an author and blogger known for her bold, self-proclaimed nerdy style and ability to combine cosplay with everyday fashion. Recently, she has begun to integrate goth and kawaii pieces into her wardrobe. While a lover of the occasional screen-accurate cosplay, Kim used her unique style and love of certain fandoms to create every looks to honor superheroes ‘in plain sight’. Over time, friends and fellow cosplayers started encouraging her to publish a guide to help others learn how to do the same. So, in 2016, she launched InPlainSight.style, an all-ages geek/nerd fashion, mash-up cosplay, bounding and lifestyle blog with an emphasis on body confidence and body positivity. As the blog’s popularity grew, so did the demand for a book. So, she decided to combine the articles her readers felt most useful, put them in one place into a workbook-type format and this year Kim published her first book, In Plain Sight: Using Everyday Cosplay to Express Your Inner Superhero (2020). In Plain Sight offers readers a step-by-step guide to getting started with Cosplay, the various types and styles of Cosplay, how to create everyday looks, and the world of Bounding. The book includes shopping guides, sources, convention pack lists, Con pack lists and more. As time passed, Kim's style grew to include more of goth styles she loves, as well as sparkly pink and kawaii clothes, so she changed her brand name to "NerdySparkleGoth.com". Please take a look around, click on the links to shop around and drop a comment if you'd like. All people are welcome here, regardless of size, age, identity. Remember, clothes do not have a gender, so you can wear anything and everything you want! Let Kim help you find those pieces to look and feel your most confident self!
