What I Would Wear: Sailor Scout
Now maybe some of you will read that post title and say wha? A Sailor Scout? Like as in a Sailor Senshi? Yes that's right. Here I am, the woman behind the curtain... A forever devoted Sailor Moon fan.Now what does this have to do with fashion. Um... Everything. That TV show and manga shaped everything I care about today. It got me into art, started my journey in becoming Mina/Sailor Venus, and got me somewhat into fashion. Case in point in 7th grade I made myself and two girlfriends Sailor Senshi outfits. I did so without a pattern and some help from my mom. We also trifted for gloves and shoes, painting the shoes to match. I think that was part of the beginning of my Halloween/dressing up love and my secret want to do cosplay, just so I can make outrageous costumes and parade around in them. Really what would be more fun than that?
Aren't we cute?
And the Pretty Soldiers help me whenever I am in an art drought. All I need to do is sketch one of those delightful characters and my hands begin to flow with creativity. I mean in all honesty really all I have to do is start singing...
Fighting evil by moonlight... Winning love by daylight... Never running from a real fight...
... and bam! there's a drawing.
So as I've been somewhat uninspired by my closet lately I've asked upon those Silver Millennium princesses to help me. Using there sailor fuku as starting points I used polyvore to create outfits that I'd love to wear and I feel that they embody the scout they represent.
Now as you end this post I hope you realize that yes I do have an undying love for Sailor Moon and will always, but I hope you also gather from this that I am in fact a very sarcastic nerd.
Huggles,
Lauren
