Costumes packed - DONE & DONE!
I am so relieved this huge part was out of the way. It was actually more work for me to lay out each outfit on my bed and put them all together according to all the illustrations I drew for myself. To be honest, none of the outfits are exactly what I sketched. Okay, maybe two, but everything else has been changed, altered, simplified, and whatnot. I wore each outfit to see if it worked or not and switched out pieces here and there. That's the beauty of fashion - nothing ever goes as planned!
I sketched this in my to-go design sketchbook to lay out other ideas and accessories to wear for the playa.
I especially wanted the tribal chic necklace by Nao which I ordered last week! I've never seen anything like it and I definitely want to buy more from her! ...I hope I get it in time to use for BM!
Below are all the outfit sketches I did from my little Fashionary Neon Light Mini sketchbook {it's so handy...!} I had to do a lot of improvising for each look. I had a lot of DIY involved and a ton of arts & crafts days while making these costumes. If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably already seen what I've been up to...!
{but sadly, not included in my final costume...!} :(
*switched out the top in this outfit! this will be a yoga look!
In the end, I managed to have a total of 11 outfits bagged and labeled. I was advised to separate them in large ziplock bags for easy access on the playa and to keep the alkaline sand off of them. I'm super excited {and relieved}. Can't wait for this experience!
