To go along with my trip to Downtown Disney in my Disney Dress Shop Black Widow dress, I am sporting my Black Widow leather jacket from Hot Topic.

This jacket is size-inclusive, going up to a 5xl. I’m wearing a 4xl. It is a little roomy on me, but I like my jackets to fit a little bit bigger. I have big shoulders and I get more flexible movement if I go a size up.

I love all the pockets and the widow logo on the back. My belt is from Torrid. I added a widow belt buckle from Etsy. Leggings, boots and tee from Lane Bryant. Click on links to shop.
It is about time that Natasha got her own fashions!

Now, if we could finally see the movie…
Until next time…

While I continue my recovery from knee replacement, I wanted to keep putting up some inspirational outfits of the day.

The latest is a cute comfy cold shoulder Avengers dress from Torrid.

I paired this with a corset belt, also from Torrid and Fila sneakers.

The weather has turned colder, but this dress will still be a great choice when paired with leggings and a pair of tall boots.

Click on this link to go to Torrid, and here for the sneakers. Happy shopping!

Our latest outfit of the day is the Loki pin-up dress by Her Universe for The Disney Dress Shop.

I love this dress so much for so many reasons, but the stand-out reason is the detailing on the dress itself.

The basket weave pattern at the waistline nips in my waist perfectly, without sacrificing any comfort. The detailing on the skirt is so beautiful. It is the perfect Loki bound dress.

Like all Disney Dress Shop dresses, I love the fit! It is a very fancy looking dress, but as comfortable as a t-shirt. And…pockets!

Pick up your own dress here. The tesseract prop was a DIY. Click here to make your own. The horn headband, necklace, blue acrylic bag and shoes are all from Amazon. Sunglasses are a lucky find at the dollar store. Click links to purchase.

Happy shopping!

The kiddo and I recently hosted our very first (first of many, I hope) couture meet-up at The Federal in North Hollywood.
We had a great time! I was recently inspired by the Lolita tea houses all over the world where Lolitas can meet up with each other in their favorite looks and hang out, inspire each other, take fun pictures, etc.
I wanted to widen the scope of the invite to include all kinds of geekery, so we put in the invite that there were no dress-code rules; wear whatever you want. As you can see, we had some great looks sported by some awesome ladies:

I chose to wear my new Black Widow dapper look.

I recently had some extra fun money to spend, and spend I did on a new screen accurate Captain Marvel cosplay. SIM Cosplay made it for me, and I love it!

Until next time…

While I wait for everyone to see “Avengers Endgame” this week, I thought I would highlight some great new products available at Ulta, in stores and online.

They released a great make-up line inspired by “Avengers Endgame” with an eyeshadow pallet, four lip glosses, four matte lipsticks and three make-up bags.

I got two of the make-up bags and love them! I got the smallest one for my purse and the medium sized one for travel.

I didn’t have an opportunity to try the eye shadows or the lip glosses, but the good word is that they are both great.

I did get two shades of matte lipsticks. Both have a nice feel, good amount of pigment and aren’t drying. I tried them both, and they lasted all day.
Get your own loot at Ulta’s site here.
Happy Shopping!

Our last recap of WonderCon is my Captain Marvel dress by Her Universe from the Disney Dress Shop.
Let’s break it down and do the Team Build Checklist. Print your own Checklist here.
Like all dresses from the Disney Dress Shop, this dress is retro-styled and size inclusive.

I love the fit of the dress and it is ready-made for Dapper Day, stylized cosplay or everyday.
In this case, the team leader and brick are both the dress. In other cases, a Captain Marvel necklace might be needed, but the dress includes the star on her chest.

Again, I recommend Amazon as your first stop when looking for accessories to dress up your cosplays and bounds. Get the cardigan here. Get the gloves here. Get the petticoat here. Get the scarf here. All four from Amazon, and also all come in a gazillion colors.

The purse I got is from Wish. I do recommend Wish for handbags and other accessories, but I do not recommend them for clothing or make-up. The clothing sizing is sketchy as best (runs beyond tiny) and the make-up is usually knock-offs of name brands. Because of that, you can’t depend on the ingredient lists on the packaging. But, if you want a purse for yourself, click this link.
This cosplay didn’t require a wig or any super special make-up. For pin-up, a nice red lip is a great finishing touch. I wear “Love Is On” by Revlon. Get yours here.
This one is pretty simple to adapt to everyday wear. I’d lose the petticoat and that’s pretty much all you need to do to take this look to the office or out and about.
As always, professional pictures by Justin Davidson Photography. Book him here. You’ll be glad you did!
Happy Shopping!
Until next time…
Love, Kim and Benji
