As you can see from the previous post, Big Sis and I spent our weekend at Phoenix Comicon, a place where no matter how hot it is, fellow convention goers will wear that big fluffy costume and prance to please till they can't prance no more...
Where our favorite video games come to life (but not completely or that would just be creepy)...
Where seeing double is a treat and you can't help but smile too big or look like you are about to pee yourself...
Where while nerding out all day, we tend to get a bit shy when picked up by a half naked green man...
And lastly, where possibilities are practically endless when choosing who you'd like to represent for a day and the only thing you need to worry about is not missing your fave Walking Dead cast member (Laurie Holden)
For Comicon I chose to cosplay a lady heroine named Elizabeth from a recent favorite video game of mine, Bioshock Infinite. It takes place in the early 1900's and very suddenly ascends to a beautiful city above the clouds alongside a very steampunk and creatively written story. Besides Elizabeth, the Lutece twins are also well known characters of the story (seen below).
I found this white button up blouse at goodwill as well as the square toe laced leather boots. The skirt I also found at a thrift store, and with with some assistance from my mom was re-sized and fitted for the high waist look. Three main pieces I believe to be most identifiable with Elizabeth are the laced choker, blue neck scarf and pinky thimble. All these items were found at JoAnns fabric store for quite cheap. With one roll of blue silk ribbon paired with a strand of lace, a chain link and and clasp I created a nicely fitting choker that added that final touch to my cosplay.
