Hello,
Welcome to my O.A.D. = Overall Appearance Designing!
When I think of going out (especially to a themed event), to me, it is an adventure awaiting my arrival. So I am sure to be in good spirits when I am preparing, and once Trish leaves our home pad.
A. ASK...
~ WHAT Character/ aspects of?
From head to toe - ideas, wants, and "must haves" - Accessories, clothing, and props!
What I already have in mind to use/ work with, as well as any new ideas to create.
WRITE A LIST, it helps!
B. BELIEVE...
~ That you can figure it out!
~ That you can find what you need!
~ That you can pull it off!
Wearing it, LARPing in it, etc... whichever you choose.
C. CATEGORIES...
Welcome to my 4-Step Process! - Head to toe
1. Head (& neck):
Hats, scarves, wigs/ masks, head pieces, jewelry, tattoos, and any other head-piece type accessory/ gear usable.
2. Costume/ Clothes (main idea):
Shirts, corsets/ bustiers, shorts, skirts/ tutus, dresses, tights, leggings/ stretchy pants, pants, etc...
3. Accessories (arms/ legs too here):
Sleeves, scarves, jewelry, gear, strapped items (ex. bullets, purses, fanny packs, utility belts), weapons, etc...
4. Feet:
Jewelry, socks, shoes/ boots, shoe/ boot covers, scarves/ chains, spurs, etc...

TIPS For Item Gathering
a) Look into my inventory for anything I may already have, or can work with.
b) Gather all items from my inventory into one pile, remembering to keep them separate from all others.
c) If I don't have an item(s) I need, then I try to keep shopping for them as cheap as possible.
Comparison shopping is first online, then hitting the pavement.
Try here:
~ thrift/ dollar stores ~ surplus shops ~ "bargain" stores
If I have to... Walmart or other "regular" stores.
(~*~)
With this I have enjoyed many activities/ events, and adventuring throughout my local community.
More Information:
O.A.D. share started (FB) Pictures

Until next time...
Experimenting with Fun Clothes!
Sincerely,
