Fancy dress day!

It's very difficult to keep up a blog AND make sure I get all my college work done D: I'm not doing too well in some subjects right now, so I've really been concentrating on work.

Anyway, today was the children in need fundraising day! And we had fancy dress at school. I went as a pirate :3



I took an old long sleeved school shirt, cut the collar and cuffs off, and then ripped it up a lot. On my legs, I wore some wet-look leggings (although they're quite worn now, not as shiny. :c ) And pirates have to have some boots! So I wore my lovely mid-calf doc martens.
I wore more bangles than you can imagine; obviously it's all gold I have pillaged on my travels, and my black fingerless gloves with skull and crossbones on, along with a bandana, and an eyepatch I made out of felt and some thread.
I put some mini-braids in my hair, and stuck a bead on the end, inspired by Jack Sparrow of course. I love pirates, so the costume was lots of fun to wear (I'm actually still wearing it xD)

Everyone elses costumes were amazing too! I got some photos:

I present, a purple-caped superhero, Ash Ketchum, Amanda (formerly Adam), myself the pirate, the mad scientist,  the fairy godmother...

Batman's sidekick, Robin.... (She made the costume herself!)
The Jedi...
The bandit...
Misty, and Ash once again!
It was £1 to come in fancy dress, and £2 to come in regular clothes. A lot more people came in normal clothes than fancy dress, but I'll just assume they were feeling generous, rather than way too lazy to get a costume sorted...
All in all, it was a good day! I hope everyone else had just as good a Friday :3
