Casual Cosplay Connections - Dee Dee from Dexter's Laboratory

Here is the second installment of CCC a monthly blog link up brought to you with my blogging buddy Danielle from http://fromgirlietonerdy.com/ Thanks to everyone who took part last time all of your outfits looked great! The original post and full list of themes can be found here. This  month it's 90's Cartoons! I had loads of ideas!! However I was limited by what clothes my post baby belly could fit into. I really wanted to be Dee Dee from Dexters lab! Being a younger sister I always enjoyed tormenting my big sis and Dee Dee gets on everyone of Dexter's nerves!!! 

When I decided on Dee Dee I started my outfit from the shoes up. She loves to dance around the lab and wears a pink ballet outfit so I had to wear my most balletic pumps. 

A pink flowery top and burgundy jeans show Dee Dee's affection for the colour pink! 

My hair of course was in Dee Dee's classic bunches! Make up and accessories I kept cute and girlie. Pink shimmery eyes and lips with cute heart jewellery. 

I'm so pleased how this outfit turned out and I managed to right ONE blog post this month since my wardrobe and time are limited at the moment! Mummy win!! 

Jasper was feeling left out so I said he could be my Dexter! 

Much Love

Casual Cosplay Conections - Super Mario

So I wasn't planning on playing along today due to the fact I have a 3 day old son!!! However I have had such a positive experience on the blog through out my pregnancy. I've been celebrating my bump, through my casual cosplay and thanks to all the lovely comments I've received I felt super confident. So I decided I had to join in with my post baby body too. Body positivity is really important to me so here I am doing my bit!! **Please  excuse the shortness of the post I have until Jasper wakes!**

So for my first Casual Cosplay Connection I'm Super Mario!! Such fond memories of playing this game at my BFFs house after school.

Classic red and blue are the heroic plumbers signature colours!

I added a red hair band instead of a hat.

And accessorised with my M&M earrings.

Hope you enjoyed the first Casual Cosplay Connections and my super quick post.

Much Love

OOTD - Mr Smee

Here is a quick and fun casual cosplay I did this week! I'm Mr Smee from Disney's Peter Pan! We even have the same tummy at the moment! 

Base layer is a striped t shirt and blue jeans. Had I not been preggers I would have worn my brown sandals but my feet are too far away at the moment! So I'm wearing my comfy trainers which is why I've chopped them out of the picture! 

For my make up I did my favourite blue eyeliner and shimmery red lips. 

Gold coin earnings reminded me of pirate treasure. They are Roman coins I got in a museum gift shop! 

Lastly I added my trusty red cardigan! I wanted to add the accent colour of Mr Smee's hat without having to wear a hat on this lovely warm day! 

I hope you like my outfit. I didn't plan to do this one I just realised as I was getting dressed I looked like a pirate! So I went with it. 

Much love

Casual Cosplay Connections - Themes 2016

Danielle and I are super excited to start this project. We are both looking forward to seeing how all our fellow bloggers interpret the monthly prompts.

Danielle looking awesome as Luna Lovegood

The only rule to take part in CCC is that the outfit has to come from your wardrobe!

You don't have to be in the picture. You can dress someone else or flat lay your outfit if you want to take part but hate to have your picture taken!  But please no using apps like Polyvore or stock images. 

Outfits should be posted on the last Saturday of every month. 

Themes are broad so you can really put your own spin on things and have fun with it.

Me as Sherlock at Sherlocked!

OOTD: Donna Noble

Today's casual cosplay is based on the sassy and stubborn Donna Noble. I wasn't keen when she first took over but is grew to love the relationship she had with 10! And the fact she ain't taking no crap of some spaceman! 

I had this whole outfit in my wardrobe! When I put them together I was impressed how close to the real thing it is. Give me a ginger wig and I'm done! 

I love the jewel tones of the purple and aqua. Two of my favourite colours. 

Shimmery pink and purple eyes and my new galaxy stud earrings adds my style to the look.

Basic blue jeans and boots complete this outfit! 

I hope you like this quick and simple Donna Noble cosplay. I'm off to try to save the world by shouting at it! 

Much love

OOTD - Powerpuff Girls: Bubbles

For the first ever Casual Cosplay Connections or CCC I have teamed up with two awesome bloggers. The lovely Danielle who blogs over at From Girlie to Nerdy and the fabulous Karen from Karen Nerds Out. I'm so pleased they wanted to team up! 

Like lots of other people I had fun Powerpuff-ing Myself at the start of the month. I loved watching the Powerpuff Girls when I was younger and obviously led me to thinking about creating a casual cosplay my for favourite Puff, Bubbles! But the thing that makes these girls so great is they are a team..... I needed a team..... This was a perfect opportunity for a Casual Cosplay Link up with my fellow geek girl bloggers! 

The only rule for the CCC was that it had to be a real outfit from our wardrobes. We set a date and off we went on our individual missions! Danielle would become Buttercup, Karen would be Blossom and I'm Bubbles. 

So here is my Bubbles Cosplay! I'm wearing a vest in Bubbles signature blue. 

Having a significant bubble of my own I'm wearing a slim belt above my bump 

I'd have loved to wear white tights but maternity clothing cancelled that plan so comfy black leggings it is! I paired them with my best Powerpuff black sandals!

I wanted a nod to my fellow Powerpuff Girls in my accessories so I picked pink earrings for Blossom and a green ring for Buttercup. 

Classic Bubbles hair and some fun sparkly make up and my look is complete! 

Another fun and maternity friendly Casual Cosplay. I loved this outfit and was ready to take on any baddies that crossed my path! 

Don't forget to check out the looks for Blossom and Buttercup. A follow up post with all three outfits together will be coming soon! I hope you enjoyed this link up! Would you be interested in joining in next time? What other groups could we team up for! Comment with suggestions below!

OOTD - Loki's Army

I've been enjoying my pregnant casual cosplay adventure. I hope you have too. Its really helped me have fun with my changing shape. I think I've kept the frump to a minimum and maximised the geek chic! I have been needing a reason to buy one of Jordandené's epically cute tees for aaaaaages! My growing baby bump seemed like a great excuse! She doesn't do a maternity range but I just ordered a size up and it fitted over my bump perfectly and will continue to look fabulous one baby bump has turned into mummy tummy! 

I had my eye on this design for ages and being pregnant made the meaning even stronger! I love how the 'Glorious' goes right across my bump! 

Still being a chilly Spring here I layered the vest over a 3/4 sleeve top and added a cardi too. 

Black jeans and my new trainers made this a practical outfit for pram shopping! 

For extra Loki I added my lovely Tesseract necklace and used green eyeliner and gold shimmer to bring out his signature colours.

I know a lot of you ladies but from Jordandene already but if you haven't I can't recommend her enough. Great quality clothes, reasonable prices, free shipping even to the UK and speedy delivery too. 

Catch you later I'm off to rule Asgard or buy a pram! Either way it'll be glorious! 

Much love
