DisneyBound Challenge – Days 29-31

This month I am participating in the March DisneyBound Challenge! Each day Elizabeth and I will be DisneyBounding to follow the prompts created by @thedisneybound and I will be discussing our outfit choices on this blog. As a reminder, here are this year’s prompts:

DBC2019

Day 29 – Enchanted

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Enchanted so for today’s prompt I needed to do quite a bit of Google-ing for images related to the film. I eventually came up with the above photo from when Giselle was singing in the park being carried by the construction workers that I could play off of carrying Elizabeth. I thought it was funny but on prompt so we went with it. I wore my jean jacket and Yankees hat (because NYC, obviously), and Elizabeth wore a combination of two dresses that were both a little small but looked cute and similar to Giselle’s outfit.

Day 30 – Meet The Robinsons

So this is a bound I was excited about since the beginning of the challenge, even though I have never seen the movie. When I looked up characters I loved the mother and I even more loved her outfit as a child with her frogs. Since I used to collect stuffed frogs, this was perfect for me. A natural choice for Elizabeth, then, was her son, Wilbur, who time travels to her as a child. I love a good mother-child ‘bound, even if it involves weird time travel and especially if it involves frogs!

Day 31 – A Character You’ve Never Bounded Before

This day was a lot easier for Elizabeth than me since she’s so new to bounding so I decided to take the day off. I also chose a rulebreaker for her because it was the last day of Women’s History Month and I felt a good Rosie the Riveter would be fitting. She wore a blue shirt and her red polka-dot headband with blue pants and looked cute as ever!

DisneyBound Challenge – Days 25-28

DBC2019

Day 25 – The Descendants

I’ve never seen The Descendants but I know the basic concept. Since I was the Evil Queen for Halloween, I thought I’d go as Evie this day but when I woke up I realized I was overlooking the obvious Mother/Daughter ‘bound thanks to @disneymamaknowsbest and her little princess. They had ‘bounded as Mal and Maleficent so I decided to let Elizabeth be Evie and I would be the Evil Queen. It was a bit different from my Halloween costume since in the pictures of her from The Descentants she is wearing blue. I wore a blue shirt, blue sweater, blue jeans, and my apple pendant as well as my crown (duh). Elizabeth wore her blue shirt and blue tutu pants as Evie with a blue bow and an apple necklace as well 🙂 We were quite matchy this day but I loved it.

Day 26 – Bambi

For the Bambi prompt, Elizabeth and I dressed as Thumper and Flower. I wore my black dress with a white scarf and my flower crown while Elizabeth wore her grey and white jammies with a grey flower bow. The looks were simple, yet perfect for the day.

Day 27 – Disney Parks

I was worried I wouldn’t be able to think of something for Disney Parks day but I had an epiphany when I was thinking of the different attractions at the parks. Last year I developed a newfound love of the Country Bears after joining in their dance party at the Magic Kingdom and I even ‘bounded as Big Al twice while I was pregnant. For this day, we chose Shaker and Liver Lips. As Shaker, I wore my dark brown dress and sweater, red polka dot neck scarf, and big floppy hat. Elizabeth was Liver Lips in her tan shirt and overalls wearing her red polka dot headband in her hair. We had a ton of fun with this ‘bound.

Day 28 – Aristocats

For this day, we decided to reprise our ‘bounds as the mother-daughter duo Duchess and Marie. I wore my white sweater and gold headband for Dutchess’ collar and Elizabeth wore a white onesie, white fuzzy vest, and pink headband for Marie!

DisneyBound Challenge – Days 21-24

DBC2019

Day 21 – Kim Possible

I loved the animated series of Kim Possible, even if I was a little old for it, so I decided to check out the live-action movie with Elizabeth in February. I thought it was great and I was inspired by Kim’s first day of school outfit so I put together something similar for day 21! I paired my red jacket with a white blouse and jeans. Elizabeth participated as Athena in her jeggings, purple sweatshirt, and purple bow.

Day 22 – Oliver and Company

In the past I had DisneyBounded as Dodger so I wanted to do something different. I chose Rita because I knew I could wear my favorite sweater. I couldn’t find my blue eye shadow but it was there in spirit. Elizabeth was Dodger in her white and brown pajamas and red bow. I think it came out great for a quick throw together (I hadn’t fully planned her outfit…).

Day 23 – The Muppets

You really have to love the Muppets and since there are so many to choose from, we figured we’d go with the most popular – Kermit and Miss Piggy. I loved wearing my comfy green sweatshirt and my frog earrings, frog ring, and I even snuck my frog hat in there again. Elizabeth wore her pink tutu dress and pants and her flower headband. She loved the fabric of the tutu and looked adorable in it!

Day 24 – The Incredibles

I love The Incredibles but I have done so many bounds of them in the past so I was not really looking forward to this day until I watched The Incredibles 2 that morning. Any character thoughts I had before then went out my head when I realized how perfect another Mommy/baby ‘bound would be. Helen had a lot of the same reservations about going back to work as I did after I had Elizabeth and Jack Jack had a lot of Elizabeth’s personality. These ‘bounds worked perfectly as she and I wore red shirts and leggings. Elizabeth also wore a black bow in her hair.

DisneyBound Challenge – Days 17-20

DBC2019

Day 17 – Characters who are/wear green

This is one of my favorite categories – fitting for St. Patrick’s day – and I wanted to incorporate what we had already planned to wear into these Disneybounds. I first thought about Fru Fru from Zootopia because of the clover on her dress, but I decided to ‘bound as her on Zootopia day instead (see it here). I then decided on the Pizza Planet Green Aliens from Toy Story! These little guys are so likable and I’ve DisneyBounded them before but I figured it would be easy to do as a group. Since we already had our green St. Patrick’s Day shirts, we paired them with blue jeans/jeggings and I wore my purple scarf and pizza necklace, Elizabeth wore her purple headband, and Dom even joined in and wore his Toy Story hat! I’d call that a success!

Day 18 – Sidekicks

I wanted to choose two sidekicks from the same movie for this day and finally decided on Mrs. Potts and Chip because it’s a mother-child ‘bound! For Mrs. Potts, I wore my purple dress (this dress is getting more love this month than I think it ever has) with a white shirt over it and my pink sweater. I also wore a pink bow in my hair in a side bun to sort of represent the tea pot lid. Elizabeth wore her white striped shirt, pink pants, and blue headband. We then had a little tea party (with Daddy freaking out because he didn’t want her to throw the tea cup).

Day 19 – Mary Poppins Returns

This is the second Mary Poppins Returns prompt I’ve had and the second time I’ve been frustrated with it. I haven’t seen the new movie yet and this made it difficult. That morning, after watching a ton of Murder, She Wrote, I decided that ‘bounding Angela Lansbury two days in a row could only be a good thing so I chose the Balloon Lady (and got to wear my comfy pants). I paired my pink sweater with a white shirt and gray sweatpants and then grabbed a balloon I had in my room. I also put some flowers in my hair to represent the flowers on her hat. Elizabeth got to be Mary Poppins with her blue pants, blue polka dot sweater, and red polka dot headband. We enjoyed posing for this picture because it meant playing with Mommy’s balloon.

Day 20 – Spring Trends

I still have no idea what spring trends are but I decided that florals are always trendy in spring so I donned my yellow floral Disney x Lulu Roe leggings that I got for my birthday last year and stared at them until I decided who to ‘bound as. I eventually saw Simba in his flower mane so I put on my yellow shirt and dressed Elizabeth in her beige floral dress as Nala. It was pretty low-key but I loved it. It was very comfortable too.

DisneyBound Challenge – Days 13-16

DBC2019

Day 13 – Snow White

We had a real blast for Snow White day. Since we were the Evil Queen and Snow White for Halloween, we (I) decided to be Happy and Dopey for the DisneyBound Challenge. I wore my favorite brown sweater, brown pants, and my yellow hat for Happy. Elizabeth was a bit harder because she had the purple bow, but I didn’t think she had a green shirt. I then realized that I had a green shirt and it would be perfectly oversized for a Dopey ‘bound! She loved it and was absolutely adorable!

Day 14 – Treasure Planet

Never having seen Treasure Planet before, I was stuck on the theme. After researching the characters, I decided to be B.E.N. I had a copper-colored sweater that I felt would work and I wore that with brown pants. I wanted some sort of compass and finally found this compass in my backpack that I turned into a necklace for the day. For Elizabeth, I decided on Morph since she’s little and usually in pink. I put her in a pink shirt, pink tutu, and pink headband.

Day 15 – Rule Breaker

Rule Breaker! Usually a favorite, mainly Harry Potter themed for me in the past, but this time I wanted to change it up. I considered Charlie’s Angels, Mean Girls, and then, finally, Grease. We became Pink Ladies and it was a ton of fun getting to wear my Pink Ladies jacket. I also wore my black dress because I just don’t fit into my black collared shirt yet. Elizabeth wore her pink shirt with a black heart on it and black pants with her pink fleece. At the last minute I added my red high heels. Then I wore my pink neck scarf and she wore her pink headband.

Day 16 – 80’s Style

Having a theme like “80’s Style” is very broad. I tend to do better when the theme is a little more specific but then I love what I come up with when I’m able to broaden my horizons. Last year, for instance, I took a vintage theme and was Pink Ladies Marie (Aristocats) and a 90’s theme and was grunge Ariel (The Little Mermaid). I also LOVE an 80’s theme so I took a bit to think about what I have that is 80’s style in my wardrobe. I eventually thought of my green off-shoulder sweatshirt (also the shirt Elizabeth wore as Dopey) and decided on a character from that. I googled green characters and eventually found the perfect one – Te Fiti (Moana)! So, I paired the shirt with my floral dress and my bright green earrings and wore my hair in a side pony. I tied my shirt up with a pony tail and made sure my shoulder was showing. Next I decided on Te Ka (Moana) for Elizabeth. She had swimming lessons in the morning so this went perfectly with her red swimsuit and some black pants. She wore a black headband and a pair of my red socks scrunched up to look like leg warmers – so totally 80’s workout!

DisneyBound Challenge – Days 9-12

9 to 12

DBC2019

Day 9 – Ducktales

I haven’t seen the new Ducktales, but as a fan of the old version I was excited about this day. I chose Launchpad McQuack at first because I wanted to wear my brown jacket but I changed my mind and decided to Disneybound the newer version of the characters. Instead of my brown jacket, I wore my sherpa-lined zip up over a green shirt and wore my orange headband. Elizabeth DisneyBounded as Webby and wore her little polo dress with a pink headband. My husband actually dressed her in this and instead of me changing her into a DisneyBound when I got home from work, I realize how perfect the dress would be for Webby – he was so proud he accidentally dressed her to DisneyBound.

Day 10 – Atlantis

This day was difficult because I’ve never actually seen Atlantis, but I always thought Audrey ‘bounds were nice and comfy and since Elizabeth has an adorable pair of overalls, she became Audrey. I just added her gray headband and she was set! For myself, I went with Milo, wearing my tan skirt, off-white tank top, and green jacket. It was very comfortable for me as well and I loved it.

Day 11 – Tarzan

Tarzan day saw me all alone since Elizabeth was catching up on her beauty sleep…okay, so Daylight Savings hit us hard. Anyway, I decided on Jane’s more “wild” look (I guess you could say). I wore my burgundy pants and white crop shirt and I was very comfortable all day in it.

Day 12 – The Rescuers

I absolutely love The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under so this day was fun. I reprised my Miss Bianca DisneyBound with my purple dress this time (yes, I’m wearing this dress for a third time because it’s so versatile this month) and a white shirt under it again. Elizabeth was my Bernard in her red outfit and although she was sleepy, she rocked it 🙂

DisneyBound Challenge – Days 5-8

5 to 8

DBC2019

Day 5 – Princess and the Frog

Bon Mardi Gras! The Princess and the Frog day occurred on Mardi Gras and the movie takes place in New Orleans – I don’t think this was a coincidence! For this day, we decided to represent Tiana and Lottie. I wore my yellow dress along with my army-green jacket for Tiana’s daily outfit. I wanted to pair it with my frog pendant and/or ring but, alas, moving has made finding things SO difficult so I went without. I did, however, wear my frog hat. As Lottie, Elizabeth wore a pink shirt, pink pants, and her pink headband – ALL the pink!

Day 6 – Disney Best Friends

There is not as classic a pair of best friends (from a female side) as Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck so that is who we decided to DisneyBound as for Disney Best Friends. I wore a white long-sleeved shirt under my purple dress (again) with my pink headband. Elizabeth wore her Minnie Mouse dress which is so adorable with the black sweater top and red polka dot tutu and her Minnie Mouse headband. I think we made an adorable pair!

Day 7 – Marvel

I had an idea of who I wanted to be on Marvel day but all that went out the window on the morning of when I changed my mind entirely and made us Groot and Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy. For Groot I wore my brown sweater and leaf headband as a necklace. As Rocket, Elizabeth wore her orange onesie with her striped pants and a black headband. She rocked her Rocket ‘bound!

Day 8 – Disney Heroines

I had some ideas for this day but after seeing some really creative stuff for Pixar day I changed my mind and decided to DisneyBound as Joy and Sadness. They eventually save the day making them unlikely but true heroines. I’ve never DisneyBounded as Sadness, but I received this blue sweater for Christmas that made me think of her every time I looked at it so I knew what I would be wearing. I just paired that with some blue jeans and it was perfect.

For Elizabeth, I put her in a yellow onesie with her yellow tutu from Halloween and then a blue headband for Joy’s hair. I was really inspired by @laurenwasyluk because she dressed her baby as Joy earlier in the challenge and I knew I had to copy her (I even told her so in the comments). So we jumped into the ball pit with some Core Memory balls to take our pictures for Heroine day!

DisneyBound Challenge – Days 1-4

Hi Friends!

I’m back to doing recaps of my DisneyBounds since March is the DisneyBound Challenge Month! Here are days 1-4:

DBC1

This year’s prompts were posted a few weeks ago so I was able to start to come up with fun outfits early enough to be prepared. As a reminder to those of you who have already been following my blog, here are the prompts:

DBC2019

I’ve already successfully DisneyBounded Days 1-4 as well as added DisneyBounds for my daughter so we’re starting strong!

Day 1 – Tangled

I love the movie Tangled and wanted to DisneyBound as Flynn Ryder (aka Eugene Fitzherbert). I have this great denim shirt that was once a maternity shirt so it now fits a bit longer so I could wear it over leggings. I have tan leggings but I cannot for the life of me find them in the move so I wore my brown ones. If I had my tan leggings I would have worn my brown boots but since I had my brown leggings I wore my tan boots. I cinched the shirt with my brown belt and then wore my brown purse to represent Eugene’s satchel.

Elizabeth played the part of my Rapunzel. She, for some reason, does not have any purple so she wore a light pink onesie with an adorable pink skirt that my friend bought her. Of course, I had to let her go barefoot and she LOVED it (she is always kicking off her socks). I then found this light purple/pink flower headband that she could wear in her hair to complete the look.

Day 2 – Pixar

For Pixar Day we were Mike and Sully. I wore my light purple dress and jean jacket with my blue scarf as Sully. Elizabeth wore her green onesie and a blue headband to represent Mike’s hat. We posed peeking out of the closet door and Elizabeth was cracking up the entire time – generating huge amounts of energy for Monstropolis! We also discovered that it was 2319 day in countries that write their dates d/m/yy so we got to celebrate 2319 for a second time in two months!

Day 3 – Winnie-the-Pooh

We LOVE Winnie-the-Pooh – Elizabeth’s bedroom is Winnie-the-Pooh themed and so was my baby shower. We’ve already DisneyBounded as Kanga and Roo (see the recap here) and Elizabeth made a good Pooh Bear to my Christopher Robin when we went to see Christopher Robin last summer, so we decided on Eeyore and Piglet. I wore my denim shirt again (this shirt is so comfortable so any excuse to wear it works for me) and navy blue leggings. I then put a pink bow in my hair to represent the bow on Eeyore’s tail.

Elizabeth has so much pink that making her Piglet was pretty easy. She wore her pink pants with a light pink shirt (which also looked really comfy) and we posed with Pooh Bear and Tigger and a “hunny” pot from my baby shower. I also lay out one of Elizabeth’s Winnie-the-Pooh blankets and we posed next to the Hundred Acre Wood artwork on her wall (she has so much Winnie-the-Pooh art so it was difficult to choose where to pose).

Day 4 – Zootopia

I love Zootopia but I have never really been a fan of animal prints (aside from the occasional zebra print because of a college retreat but that’s a different story…) so that always makes it more complicated for me. I was tempted to do Judy and Nick but I was Judy last DisneyBound Challenge and I wanted to do something different. I’ve really wanted to do Fru Fru but I was going to save her for St. Patrick’s Day because of the clovers on her dress, but I changed my mind at the last minute.

For Fru Fru I wore my green wrap dress and some gold jewelry with my hair up in a mini bouffant. Elizabeth was one of Fru Fru’s friends and wore a blue dress with blue leggings and my sunhat that kept falling into her face which was adorable. I also used Target bags to make the “Targoat” bags from the scene in the movie where they almost get run over by a giant doughnut (I wish I also had a giant doughnut – LOL). Elizabeth just wanted to eat the bag (this is what you get when you have a teething baby) but she always looks adorable anyway so it was fine.

Life Is A Highway (and so is fashion?)

You’ve probably guessed it – ROAD TRIP!!

The last week in January we set out on a journey joining up with a larger group of people to take part in a Lemon’s Rally – a group of cars traveling from one point to the next in “lemon” cars (or just really old cars, or any car that would normally give you a disadvantage on the road, basically). We took our old Buick Roadmaster that my husband had bought and used as a tow vehicle for a while and which we love spending time in – mainly because it feels like we’re just hanging out on our living room couch. The rally awards points for all sorts of things along the way and is basically like a big scavenger hunt. We also got to dress up the car to go along with our team theme – which we decided would be Disney-Pixar’s Cars themed! I’m sure you know where I’m going with this because we could not theme our car without also themeing our outfits!

Day 1 – Moscow, PA to Pittsburgh, PA

Our first day of the rally was SO cold! We were up super early and on the road to registration in the negative-degree weather. Although you can’t see our Disneybounds under all our layers, they were as follows:

Dom – Lightning McQueen: Red Cars shirt that reads “Float like a Cadillac, Sting like a Beemer”, jeans
Juli – Mater: rust colored sweater, jeans, brown boots, Route 66 purse
Lizzie – Sally: blue onesie, jean jacket, blue headband, blue socks, silver leggings

It was a long, cold day in the car but we were parked next to the right people at start up and continued to run with them the entire rally. Lizzie was a champ but by the end of the day we were all worn out so we got to bed quickly at the hotel in Pittsburgh.

Day 2 – Pittsburgh, PA to Lexington, KY

Day 2 saw us leaving Pittsburgh and traveling to Kentucky by way of Ohio and West Virginia. We followed the Ohio River through some really cool places and nearer warmer weather. We didn’t get a picture of all of us during day 2, but our Disneybounds were:

Dom – Ramone: Ramone’s Body Shop shirt, jeans
Juli – Flo: mint shirt, white sweatshirt, jeans, Route 66 purse
Lizzie – Fillmore: mint onesie, mint sweater, gray pants

This was such a fun day with the highlight being Hillbilly Hot Dogs in Lesage, WV. We ended up eating here and it was just such a cool experience. From the atmosphere to the hot dogs, this is one place I would eat at again! I can’t wait to bring my parents and sister there – it was that much fun. You sort of have to see it to understand. I would definitely recommend visiting in warmer weather though.

Day 3 – Lexington, KY to Nashville, TN

By the third day we were grateful that final check-in was at 3pm. Sitting in the car was taking it’s toll on all of us and it was nice to get out and look at other cars for a change. We met at the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville and arrived to beautiful weather – you could even see our Disneybounds in the photos from the impromptu car show!

Dom – Doc Hudson: blue shirt, blue jeans
Juli – Smokey: orange shirt, orange plaid shirt, jeans, Route 66 purse
Lizzie – Cruz Ramirez: yellow onesie, yellow sweater, blue leggings, yellow socks

At the 3pm meet-up we were judged on an unknown set of critera for our cars while we got to check out the museum which had a huge selection of cars from the private collection of Jeff Lane. Afterwards we checked into our hotel and then got together at a bar across the street for dinner.

Day 4 – Nashville, TN to Leeds, AL

The final leg of our trip was definitely the warmest and one of the most anticipated. By the time we pulled into Barber Motorsports Park it was dusk, though, and we never got a family “end of race” photo. For this day we were:

Dom – Michael Schumacher: Ferrari shirt, jeans
Juli – Luigi: black long-sleeved shirt, yellow shirt, black pants, Route 66 purse
Lizzie – Guido: blue onesie, gray pants

We walked around all the cars to see how all had fared, listened to the awards and the cars being recognized, and then met up with some new friends for some post-rally BBQ!

An extra touch that I added for these Disneybounds, and often the only part of the ‘bound visible with the cold weather, was creating car eyes for each of us on each day. I was particularly proud of these DIY accessories and I may post about it at a later date but I think it really made the Disneybounds stand out.

This trip was beyond cool and we will definitely be doing another. To see all of the stops we made on the way, check out my Instagram posts from January 29th through February 1st at @Rogue_Princess_

Preparing for a Month of Style

Hi Friends!

I know I’ve been pretty scarce with my posting lately and that’s with good reason – over the last month I’ve been moving! We got back from our vacation and got our keys the next day but we still have another week to complete the move and it has been a PROCESS. We’ve been really lucky to have had a lot of help from family with watching the baby and moving the big stuff but it’s been so difficult to move all the little stuff (read: clothes). I will post some follow ups on the Lemon’s Rally and then moving in the near future but for now, I wanted to pop on and talk a little more about the upcoming March Disneybound Challenge (read my initial post here) since it will be starting this week.

In December, as some of you know, I participated in Dressember with a group of Disneybounders. During that challenge, I relied on hanger tags to organize my daily outfits and themes. For the March Disneybound Challenge this year I have stepped it up a notch by creating hanger tags that can be reused from month to month!

IMG_20190225_194445

I numbered the tags 1-31 and then laminated them. I wrote the theme for each day on the top and on the back I wrote the character/inspiration that I want to do and the items of clothing I own that I will be wearing. (A neat trick if you didn’t already know – permanent marker written on a white board, glass, or plastic can be erased by writing over it with a dry erase marker and then wiping it off. I use this trick all the time at work so I can have semi-permanent labels that can also be easily erased but don’t wipe off when you brush up against it.) Next, I pulled out the outfits in the order I’ll be wearing them and hung them that way in my closet. For some outfits I will be reusing certain articles of clothing so I just leave accessories or an empty hanger with the tag on it so that I can put the item back there after I’ve worn (and washed) the item. Moving has both helped and hindered this process a tiny bit because I both know and don’t know where a lot of my clothes and accessories are. Hopefully everything comes together fine though!

If you decide to participate in the March Disneybound Challenge, make sure to let me know so I can follow you! Here are the prompts again:
