MegaCon Tampa Bay 2016 Cosplays

I’ve shared all my outfit and cosplay posts from MegaCon Tampa Bay, but now it’s time for everyone else! There was seriously so many amazing cosplays at this con. At times, I would just park myself in a certain spot so I could check out everyone’s amazing work. Some made me gasp, some laugh and others wish I had a different skill set. Overall, I’m pretty stoked I attended this con, and good news! It’ll be back in Tampa next Sept. 29-Oct. 1st. Too early to start planning? Can David Tennant be invited again? Until next time, here are some of my favorite cosplays of the weekend!

Halloween: Gotta Catch ‘Em All!

img_9835

This year was the first year Luna was old enough to actually trick or treat. Last year she was a fresh-out-of-the-oven newborn, so we just took pictures at home and called it a night. However, this time Luna was able to drunkenly totter around my friend’s neighborhood, and it was so much fun! Although it was still a short night for us (strict baby schedules and all that jazz), we made sure to make it worth it and went all out with our family costumes!

Cosplay: SnotGirl

As most of you know by now, I attended MegaCon Tampa Bay last weekend and it was ridiculously fun! It was the first time I was away (overnight) from Luna, so I’m not going to lie: I cried as we drove away from my house, but I was proud of myself for enjoying a little bit of “me time.”  I knew I wanted to cosplay, but when I travel, I don’t like to do anything too elaborate.

I recently got very obsessed with the new comic from Image, SnotGirl. If you aren’t familiar, it’s about a fashion blogger that portrays herself as being totally put together and fabulous, but really has raging allergies and zero self confidence. Of course, there is a lot more to the story, but I don’t want to spoil it for you all because I totally recommend you all start reading it RIGHT NOW. But, anyways, the second I started reading this comic, I knew I wanted to cosplay as Lottie. I mean, a fashion blogger? DUH.

This had to be my easiest cosplay to date. I had everything I needed in my closet, except for the wig, which I scored through Amazon Prime and a box of Kleenex, that I picked up that very morning. Sure, not a lot of people knew who I was (shout out to the two guys that got super jazzed to see it), but I absolutely loved it. I’ll probably rock this cosplay again, and try to feature her other outfits. Thanks to everyone that showed me love about it on Instagram!

Florida Supercon 2016 Outfits

A couple of weeks ago, Miami welcomed Florida Supercon to Miami Beach during 4th of July weekend. I hadn’t been to a con in a year (!!!), so it was nice to be back in my element socializing with fellow geeks! I also had the opportunity to sit on my first panel that I organized myself with some ladies I really admire, which can now be crossed off the bucket list. All in all, it was a great weekend and look out for more posts detailing my experience coming up next week on the blog!

For now, check out the outfits I put together for each day I attended the con:

Friday was my day to wander the Con all by my lonesome, check out the exhibit floor and get my first convention-based tattoo! I knew I wanted to be comfortable, but also show my geek side. As usual, my immediate go-to was a Jordan Dene tee, because what else is there?? I threw on my favorite of my extensive collection and made it chic by adding my favorite peter pan collar paired with fun pins.

What I Wore: Negatrash

One of the many perks of being an officer for Geek Girl Brunch South Florida is being able to choose your favorite fandoms as a theme for a future brunch. I was ecstatic to finally host a Sailor Moon brunch, and had so much fun putting together my outfit! I knew I wanted to play on the whole biker gang sailor scout styling that I had seen roaming around the Internets, but take it down a notch, so that it would be more wearable and easy for me to move around in without feeling self conscious during our brunch.

I have to admit that I have a pretty amazing secret to share with you all when it comes to buying every day cosplay items that you may not wear consistently. It’s called AliExpress, and your wallet will thank me profusely for it. I know my bank account is ready to give me a big bear hug. That’s where the majority of my look came from, and if I told you the grand total – you may fall over.

Dress; AliExpress
Vest; AliExpress
Pins & Patches; TinInk {gifted}
Black Moon headband; RaicoDoll
Lipstick; Sephora Brand’s Cream Lip Stain in Strawberry Kissed
