Camp Formal Night

Hey there, more camp fashion! 

We dress up for dinner every night, based on the theme of the day. Friday is always formal night. This is a picture of my girl Lucy and I before we went to the main lodge for dinner.

So, my summer formal outfit recommendation: Lace dresses! I loved how comfy mine was! A silver necklace and thin brown belt was all I needed to accessorize because the color popped. I love this dress so much. (I found it at Kohl's.) It was cool enough even though it was near 80 something degrees but I wasn't cold when it cooled off after the sun went down. I would definitely recommend getting a lace dress, even for fall. Pair it with a bomber and some heeled booties and you're all ready to rock!

I had and awesome time at camp this year and Lucy's such a sweetie, I miss her already!

CONvergence & Costuming

I went to a local science fiction convention (CONvergence) and it was awesome! There were loads of amazing costumes, lots of people, and a great time to be had. I recommend you to check it out, it's an incredible experience! 

I decided to dress up like Babydoll from the movie Sucker Punch. I made my costume myself, which took almost 20 hours all together. I didn't take pictures during the process because it was about two days before Con and I needed to hurry. However, I took a few while I was wearing it that night. (I apologize for the mirror selfies, but I wanted to share these with you.)

Full costume (minus the extremely uncomfortable shoes)

Close up

What do you think? I altered a pattern for the top and used a basic tutorial for the skirt. I based it on this video's instructions but changed a few things to make it more simple. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments. I'm thinking of making another pleated skirt, so I might do a tutorial on that. 

Oh, and one last thing... If you're a geek like me, OWN IT!
