Console to Closet

Hi there! I'm Amanda Erickson and this is my little corner of the internet. I spend my days as community manager for SMITE and my nights playing xbox, working on cosplays, and marathoning netflix with a glass of wine. Console to Closet is a fashion, makeup, home decor blog - all with a gaming twist.

The Legend of Zelda Symbol Cardigan - Hot Topic

Channel your inner adventurer with Hot Topic’s new Legend of Zelda Symbol Cardigan. The black and white print is super versatile and the open, draped front is stylish and contemporary. I wouldn’t style it like they did in the item pic (with a ringer tee), but instead I’d wear a solid neutral tank top tucked into high waisted jeans or layered over leggings.

Oryx (Destiny) Inspired Outfit

With The Taken King out today, I thought I’d do an outfit inspired by the most terrifying dad out there, Oryx. I wanted to feature some smokey pieces that resemble his darkness, so I chose a sheer maxi skirt and lucite bangles. I also wanted to bring in elements of his wings with the burgundy top and bat ring. Finally, I paired it with a light colored bag to represent his eyes...plus that blue color looks amazing with burgundy. This outfit is a little more dressy, but looks totally bad-ass.

Sera (Dragon Age: Inquisition) Inspired Outfit

Sera is one of my favorite characters in Dragon Age and I just knew that I had to do a overly prim and proper outfit inspired by her since her usual character is so “in your face”. I started with this amazing plaid jacket, taking a nod from her plaid leggings. I then paired it with vintage looking pieces in burgundy and browns, similar to her in-game outfit. Lastly, I added in a red watch (red jenny!) and arrow earrings to represent her archery skills. (Click here to see all the outfit pieces!)

New Dragon Age Line Debuted @ PAX Prime

I previously wrote about the new Mass Effect line that was revealed during the Bioware Fashion Show at PAX Prime, but there were also some amazing new pieces of Dragon Age merch. The Bioware Store unveiled it’s newest line of Dragon Age-inspired clothing with nods to many characters in various styles. Bioware and ThinkGeek Solutions are really pushing their boundaries with these two new lines and I can’t wait to see my fellow Bioware-fans rocking the new looks.
