Let's talk Disneybounding! I've discovered Polyvore and have spent the afternoon having a play. These outfits are just a general idea of what it will be like based on what I could find on Polyvore. Obviously I'll be tweaking them as I go. I may be going slightly nuts with my outfits for this trip, but I figure why not.
I'll be starting my bounding outfits on Thursday with an expo/park day as Russell. I plan to meet Dug on this day and get a great photo that I can get an enlarged print of and put in my soon to be Up themed hobby room. I decided to this bound on the first day in case there is an issue meeting Dug - I'll have a couple of back up days then. I have already purchased a little brown satchel style bag, and my mother in law has a great orange scarf that I may borrow and use as a headband.
Friday morning is of course the 5k. I've been pretty keen on the idea of a Mulan themed outfit for a while, so have decided to run with that (haha no pun intended). This will be based on Mulan's introductory outfit, as it is kind of my introduction to the weekend. As an added bonus, I already have the skirt!
For our park time on Friday, I've decided on Mulan's matchmaker outfit (the next chronological outfit in the movie). I have quite a few pink tops - I'll have to see if any will be suitable, and I will just wear my existing pair of black lace up shoes.
Saturday is a rest/non park day, so no Disneybounding that day. The next one will be the half marathon, where I will be inspired by Mulan's battle outfit. I feel like the battle outfit will be appropriate lol! I also have the grey sparkle skirt already!
After the half marathon I will be wearing an outfit inspired by the final outfit Mulan wears in the movie, when she is awarded the sword of Shan-Yu and the crest of the emperor (which will be represented by my half marathon medal!). I have that exact dress sitting in my 'cart' waiting to be purchased, just need to decide on a size. And I'll just wear my existing black lace up shoes again.
My final Disneybound outfit will be Boo! I just thought this would be cute and comfortable. I have a pair of purple shorts in my 'cart' as well, and have already purchased a pink t-shirt that would be suitable. Depending on how I go with Dug, I'll wear this one on Monday or Tuesday.
