I went to Plato's Closet in Huber Heights with a friend (second time going; her very first visit) - we spent a decent chunk of time in there and came out with a pretty good haul. I have new shoes (flats! I desperately needed fashionable shoes that weren't heeled) and a few tops (spent about $40) while she faired amazingly and basically gave herself a new wardrobe ~ good thing she had a nice paycheck ~
I'll probably post pictures AFTER this thursday as we're planning to go back and bring her mom with us this time. I'm getting some of the nice/brand name clothes and shoes that just hang in my closet in hopes to make a little money - I'm really hoping they take some of them and I can make my $40 back and then some lol
In the mean time, I started work on my halloween costume. I'm doing a humanoid Cynder of Spyro! I have a Spyro and we want to make my niece Sparx (she's only two and a half; we'll just dress her in all yellow with some wings and put her hair up in little pigtails atop her head lol). I started cutting the pattern for the coat and found myself missing the sleeve flange (a little cap that extends the shoulders and gives the sleeves just slightly more Victorian style and a little more pizazz lol).
The wings will be made from PVC for the boning, felt and costume satin for the fleshier parts and probably backpack scraps for the harness that keeps the wings on me. My friend and I are trying different ways to make the wings as this is our first time doing it. I hope to post progress shots for you all and give you a good idea of how to do it when I get it done. (It took me FOREVER to find helpful tutorials and tips).
Hopefully next post will have photos ~ this was just a little update ***
