November Update

I have earth shattering news today! 

I walked into a shop and exchanged money for goods! Incredible isn't it. 

OK, so it's not that incredible but after having moaned on here before about my failure to buy female clothing in shops but today I succeeded in buying a couple of skirts in a two different shops. One is a long peach skirt and the other is short black and had ruffles on it. tried them on and they look lovely. I just need some more suitable tops to go with them now. 

I've been thinking more about cosplay recently since some friends of mine have started doing it in the last couple of years and if they start doing more I am considering joining them at more conventions. Their enthusiasm has made me what to do things properly because I do tend to slpa together something last minute either due to having left zero prep time, suffer chronic indecision or my bottle goes. Perhaps I should start planning a bit more. i would still love to do the red Clara dress and accessories. The ultimate cosplay for me though would be Cher's yellow plaid suit from Clueless. I saw a skirt the other week and considered buying it even though it would have been too small but it got my interest back up so I went looking online. I may be able to get one custom made so I'm seriously considering it. Not sure where I would wear it though but I do know a cinema where they show it occasionally so it could receive a outing there. 

This leads me on to TV and Scream Queens which I've been watching recently. Wonderful outfits. There's always something thrilling about a bitchy Queen Bee with a stylish wardrobe and Emma Roberts is brilliant as Chanel. I've also been watching and still loving DC's crop of superhero shows along with the always stylishly dressed Felicity Smoak from Arrow and Caitlyn Snow from The Flash. Can't say I'm totally getting into Supergirl but it's still a decent show and Melissa Benoist is a wonderfully enthusiastic lead.

October Update

Well, Halloween came and went. No dressing up for me though. Didn't get invited anywhere and didn't feel like dressing up anyway. I bought a new dress recently though and it actually fits this time. Makes me look a bit pregnant though but I'm sure I can change that.

Went to a convention recently too, only for a few hours, but the cosplay on show is just amazing and makes me want to step up a bit and actually do things properly. Part of it is still fear I guess. Not sure when I'll be cosplaying next but hopefully I can put a bit of time into it.

I keep meaning to do a Fashionista column but I will say that one thing I've seen about that I'm loving recently is a nice black jumper or polo neck coupled with a tight pencil skirt and tights.
