I probably shouldn’t be allowed into thrift stores.
Why? Well, a week or two ago, I needed some dress pants. My sister, the shopping master, once managed to walk out of a thrift store with three designer pairs of dress pants for a fraction of the original cost. Amazing.
So I decided to follow suit.
But:
I blame it on the diversity of the thrift store. In a typical store, you only find current clothes, the latest fashions. In a thrift store, you don’t know what you’ll find. The unfashionable. The ill-fitting. The cast-aways of other people. But one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Thus, when I saw a black graduation robe, I couldn’t help but think,
I couldn’t resist. I couldn’t. I went off and bought a matching shirt
and skirt
and Ravenclaw-colored tie
and a cardigan, some leggings, and nice shoes, and there you have it: a rough estimation of Cho Chang’s outfit!
And, just because I’m that dorky, I decided that
Solution: make a wand. Out of wood. Hand-carved wood.
After quite a bit of effort, I finally finished. Chestnut wood is way harder than I expected. But at least, I have a costume for Anime Boston! (Am I preparing a bit too much in advance? It’s likely.)
And here’s the finished costume!
wooooow you are maximally dorky. but.. that actually looks really good!
Yo, when I geek out, I geek out WELL. 😀
WOAH! HOW’D YOU MAKE THAT WAND????
Oh right, you must’ve bought it at Olivander’s….^_^
Hahahaha chestnut, dragon heartstring, 14 inches and a little springy! XD
OOMMGG;
THAT’S SOOOO COOOLLL
Ahaha thanks!! I am so excited, I can’t even believe it!
I like how I’m commenting on like ten of your posts within, like, ten minutes. You made your own wand…. That is dedication, and on something cool!
All your comments are so fantastic… they’re seriously making my day as I cram for my exam in 2 hours! Thank you so much for reading, 麦わらのルフィ!
Thank you! I wish I new Japanese. Google translate is a very good thing! But seriously, when I’m older I want to learn Japanese, go to Japan, and go bananas on One Piece stuff!!
