Disneybound - The Little Mermaid

Posted by Charlene // Tags: , ,
Today I am celebrating my birthday at Disneyland!  I go to Disneyland fairly often, so for this trip I wanted to do something different - I wanted to Disneybound.  If you haven't heard of this before, it is putting together an outfit based on a Disney character.  And for my first time doing this I needed to Disneybound as my favorite character Ariel.   This blog is by no means going to become a fashion blog (me = no sense of fashion) but for this post I wanted to Disney-nerd-out on the outfit I put together!


Starting from the top:

Lauren Conrad Starfish Earrings
So cute and minimalistic - perfect for me because I don't like huge, dangling earrings.  And the ones that I bought actually have a little gem in the middle of it, but I couldn't find a picture of that version online.  
- Bought @ Kohl's

Ursula's Seashell Necklace
Okay, this is supposed to be Ursula's but Ariel's voice is trapped within it, so kinda Ariel's too?  I needed a necklace and this seashell one would do as good as any other!
- Bought @ Hot Topic

Mason & Mackenzie Crochet Cold Shoulder Top
I was all set to buy a different purple top when I saw this as I was heading towards the register.  So. Cute.  I love how the crochet kind of reminds me of netting on a ship, and they have the fan shape of little seashells!  Ariel's top is a darker purple, but I really liked this shade.
- Bought @ Kohl's

Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Capris
The color is called Pale Sprig, and it is a very pale, almost greyish green.  Not as accurate to Ariel's fishy side, but again, love the color! And I think it goes better with the purple top.  
- Bought @ Kohl's

Mad Love Canvas Flats
The color for the flats that I bought is a bit darker than the ones pictured (and I couldn't find a right shoe to match the left for the picture!  So I just doubled it.)  But actually I wish I had the flats pictured - I think it looks pretty good!  Hmm maybe I'll stop by Target again...
- Bought @ Target

Forever 21 Nail Polish
Forever 21 has some great nail polish at really great prices! (Hmm I sound like such a salesperson)  But really it's only $3 so I can try so many different colors!  I am using the sea green color for my outfit, though I almost chose a lilac one.  But the green color is my favorite.
- Bought @ Forever 21

Everything at Kohl's was on sale, so the price tag for this outfit was pretty reasonable.  If you follow me on Instagram (name is bookwhimsy not bookishwhimsy) or just check it out through the web link, I'm planning to post a picture of me in the outfit sometime today!

Does Disneybounding sound like something you would like to do?  Which character would you dress up as?
