Cosplay: Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Hello there, hope everyone's doing well! I can't believe it's New Years' Eve already, this year definitely went by fast! :')

Aside from that, I have a bit of a dilemma right now. Good news: I bought my ticket for AnimeNEXT yesterday morning, so I'm officially going! (Thank you Dad for the gift card that helped pay! :*)

 

I've made some big changes to my cosplay lineup for it. Don't worry, hide is still sticking around! I even bought a pattern last week to use for him! c: It's Friday and Sunday's outfits that are being changed. I already know who I want to be for Friday, but I haven't "officially" announced it yet, even though I've been doing plenty of research for them. As for Sunday, I don't feel like doing Jan anymore and I've narrowed it down to a couple of the simplest cosplays on my list, but I'm not sure who I want to pick...help a girl out? c:

 Here they are:

 

 

 

(I already have Kairi's outfit, I would just need to buy a new wig and hopefully get contacts, but everyone else is also not gonna be too costly to buy and/or make.)

 

So if you came here from Tumblr or here on Blogger, please please please leave a comment or an ask in my inbox suggesting who I should be. And if you happen to be selling a costume or a wig, anything that can contribute to these, let me know and I'll see if I can work something out with you in the future. Tips would be appreciated as well!

 

Stay beautiful everyone!

The saddest but greatest part is that the list will never be done as I have plenty of anime I plan to watch sometime soon, so there will be updates every once in a while!

Bye for now! 

AnimeNEXT Ahoy?

AnimeNEXT...kinda sounds like an anime convention, huh? Well, it is! It's being held in Somerset, NJ at the Garden State Exhibit Center from June 6-8 next year and hopefully I can go with my friend Katonya!

Now the big question is: am I gonna cosplay?

Answer: hopefully!

I already made a plan of who I want to cosplay as, hopefully I don't change my mind before the convention. 

Here they are~

 

As easy as it is to buy a complete outfit, I would really like to try and make them on my own. The only problem is that I would have to walk ten blocks with a bunch of materials in tow in order to sew these together. ( ;- n -)
If anything, I'll buy Rikku's costume, but make hide's by hand and just buy a tracksuit and modify it for Jan.

There's a slight problem with buying Rikku's costume though...well, maybe more than one.

1. I'm not sure what my budget will be in a few months (I'm hoping to be a couple of months into a job by then), but I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount for her costume.

2. I'm a perfectionist, so the slightest detail that's off isn't gonna cut it.

Wahhh... 

If I can't find a nice looking costume, then I think I'll swap her for Fem! Rei Ryugazaki from Free!. It would be a lot easier and I could save Rikku for when I'm more experienced with sewing and construction. c:

Until I make a little collage for Fem! Rei and Rikku and find out which will be cheaper and easier, then I'm not sure what Friday's outfit will be.

As for hide's outfit, I could just get a suit pattern and find the right fabric for him, modify a regular white blouse and buy some earrings that look similar to his. I already found a wig that's almost the exact style of his hair, I would just need to color it in pink and black!

Jan's shouldn't be too hard either, considering that he's just wearing a regular track suit. I would just need to find a hat and iron on a transfer of the eye and get some gloves and a wig, no biggie! And it would be cool to get some yellow contacts for him...but that's a story for another time.

So that's just a little summary of my cosplay plans for AnimeNEXT, if anyone has any tips or questions, don't be afraid to comment!

Bai bai! c: <3
