Everyday Cosplays from IGGPPCamp

It's no secret that I adore the International Geek Girl Pen Pal Club. This past week they had their 2nd annual summer camp full of interactive activities to bring geeks all over the world together like making s'mores, playing games, and my favorite- everyday cosplay. 

I often Disneybound, so when the Pen Pal Club posted an 'Everyday Closet Cosplay Challenge,' I knew I had to participate! Each day there was a prompt of what kind of outfit to put together from items already in your closet. From Disney to comics, everyone picked their favorite fandoms to display. Combining colors and adding accessories that hint to a character is an extremely creative process, which I get a happy rush from.


Day 1: Disney Princess- Tiger Lily
 























Day 2: Pixar - Green Men from Toy Story
 























Day 3: 80s Cartoons- April O'Neil of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
 
























Day 4: Marvel Comics- Wolverine
 























Day 5: Sci Fi- Elliot from E.T.

Day 6: Troop Hakuna Matata - The Lion King

5 Fandom Friday: Geeky Clothing Items I Need In My Closet Immediately

With the popularity of superhero movies and geek culture in general, there is no shortage of fangirl fashion. It still surprises me when I walk into Target and find Star Wars shirts or that Hot Topic carries Sanrio and Disney.

I like to walk the line of cute and nerdy by mixing bold comic book patterns with adorable animals and pastel colors. My closet wishlist grows every day, and now with Twitter & Instagram, it's so easy to find those must-have geek girl items. Just the other day, Sparklegirl Jen posted a link to Teefury's shirt of the day, and I bought it right away. I couldn't resist the Harley Quinn + Haunted Mansion mash up! 

For the second week of Fandom Friday, here are the geeky clothing items I need in my closet immediately...or at least will be added to my Christmas wishlist.

Rilakkuma Collar Chain

Looney Tunes Tazo Hairbow

Week 1: 5 Fandom Friday- Gateway Fandoms That Made Me Who I Am Today

Cute & Nerdy Outfits

I definitely remember a time in my early twenties where I felt like I needed to have a more grown up wardrobe. That there was no longer a place for Rainbow Brite in my everyday life. What was I thinking? Though I do admit, I have moved on from band shirts, but I cannot resist geeky touches to ordinary outfits.                           

Hey Arnold

Legend of Zelda Link

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Captain America

Back to the Future

Mixing Patterns

Star Wars

I also simply cannot resist toys, action figures, and plushies. They are all over our house. I have still been thinking about this T-Rex at the toy store. We became instant friends, but I didn't get him....yet.

How do you show your love for your favorite fandoms in the day-to-day?
