30 Day Costuming/Cosplay Meme - Day 7

7. The character you have cosplayed that is most similar to you (if none that you have cosplayed, then one that you will cosplay)

Again with the not-so-much cosplaying as costuming... I don't know if most similar, but certainly my favorite character I've done costumes for is Princess Leia.  What a great character. Sarcastic, sassy, strong... (that's very alliterative) Definitely one of my fav characters of all time. I've really only done the Bespin costume for her (an early fav from long before I ever costumed though) - and I did do her classic white gown but somehow never really wore it. I'll have to remedy that next costume appropriate opportunity. I don't even have pictures of it on!

New earrings!

Thanks to Kat for pointing out these gorgeous 18th century style earrings. I bought a pair for the Francaise dinner. They arrived and I love them - they seem  like really nice quality and they're not clownishly big. 

Here's where you can buy them:

6. Your favorite costume (that you have done)

Ooh, tough one! Maybe my Leia Bespin costume? I'm just so happy with how it turned out and so much work went into it (9 months of embroidery).

Outlander painting

Here's my mom's little painting of Doug and I from the Outlander tea from earlier this month. Keep in mind this is done in a book that isn't made of watercolor paper and it's really small!
