The Actual Styling of Myself

(aka - what I wear in a month as a busy student)

Thank you guys so much - to those who stuck around through the EAH styling and the those who found the account though it!

I’m planning a lot of fun things for this account, but Uni super hard for me at the moment ~ and I once again changed what I am studying (hello film and communications degree!)

This is going to include actual pictures of my actual face so please be nice.

Now Presenting - ✨what I wear in a month✨

(August 15th through September 16th)

Costume Redesign // C.A. Cupid (Ever After High) 💌✨

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the beginning of this project - I promised to redesign the 8 designs with the most notes…Upon further reflection, as a university student with upcoming exams and a very small amount of time on my hands anyways - I did not think that through to the extent I probably should have. (As of now I’m planning to do top 3-5 but that is fully dependent on if I have them time 🩷)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some In-Show Cupid Outfits:

My Inspiration:

My Redesign // Standard Outfit

(I fear her Monster High look is just so much more stylish)

(Ignore the scribbled by my signature - I originally had my full government name in there)

If anyone wants to draw fanart of Cupid in this ~ I will work with you so you get something out of it because I think that would be sick!

I hope you love it!! 🩷

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the risk of sounding like an AO3 writer (can’t deny the truth, I fear) - little life update: This September is going to a hectic one, but this account is a good outlet for me so I will try to keep up with it. This month:

My younger brother ~ who I am partially responsible for ~ broke his arm on his birthday (he’s okay, took it like a champ)

I was really close to having a kidney infection (among other medical things-)

I have three exams in the span of three weeks

Two major uni projects

I am a varsity member of a sports team

I am an officer on the board for that sports team

Working 2 part time jobs and just got put onto a new project at one of them

My uni is doing Romeo & Juliet and I’m the understudy for Juliet, Lady Capulet & The Nurse

Prepping to present at a national conference at the end of the month

(then ofc like normal responsibilities of being a human person)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trust, cool things are coming in the future for this account…

Styling Ever After High Characters: Justine Dancer 🩰✨

(Styling Ever After High: 52/52 - !!!we did it Joe!!!)

Justine Dancer, Youngest Daughter of the 12th Dancing Princess

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Pink, Yellow, White, Gold

Inspired by traditional ballet attire and aesthetic

As part of the ballet inspiration - some more modern fashion inspo comes from France and Italy (where the art form really got its start)

Pointe-inspired shoes (either pink or skin tone)

Gold flower details in her hair, inspiration taken from her crown

Eliminated all of her silver details because I think with her given color palette, it would make her outfits look a bit confused

Ribbons everywhere

Fan/Tutu style skirt

Classic but with enough of an edge that it isn’t like you are seeing something that has already been done (as opposed to Duchess who is interested in conformity)

I took a class on dance history and one of the best papers I’ve ever written in my life was one about ballet, thus it was very important for me to find examples of this style being worn on women of color to really acknowledge their part in that history

Oh my gosh guys! We did it! More is obviously coming when I actual design outfits but it’s been an absolutely wild ride. Just since I posted Jillian’s - I moved twice, had surgery, changed what I’m studying again, got a paper published under my name and went through like 4 new hyperfixations. Life is crazy.

Genuinely, thank you so much for sticking around this long and for all of your support! It means the world to me that something I’ve been doing alone for years can be appreciated.

Styling Ever After High Characters: Meeshell Mermaid 🐚✨

(Styling Ever After High: 51/52 ~ I still can’t count)

Meeshell Mermaid, Daughter of the Little Mermaid

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: (all pastel) Pink, Blue, Teal, Purple, etc.

Styled after that one girl who lives at the beach and you can tell (Kind of a shame that I grew up at the beach and never developed a sense of style like this)

Clear and iridescent details to look like bubbles and water

Seashells and Sea Creatures as motif in accessories

Lots of thin fabrics

Mermaid dresses and skirts to get the right silhouette

Pearlescent details as well

Flows and stringy pieces so her outfits look like they’d be beautiful floating in the water

The occasional knit (net) piece as well

traditional seashell looking top as on a few pieces - it’s the mermaid classic

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High: Lilly Bo Peep 🐑✨

(Styling Ever After High 49/52)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Pink, Purple, White, Blue

Ruffles and bows ALL OVER

The occasional sheep pattern (big lamb enjoyer)

Sort of a mix of farm/cottagecore and lolita

Gingham print!

Layers and aprons

Lots of wool-based textiles

Sort of similar to Maisey since they are both from nursery rhymes

Square and pointy toed shoes to mimic hooves

Overwhelming floof and ruffles (puffy like sheep!)

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Crystal Winter ⛸️✨

(Styling Ever After High 48/55)

Crystal Winter, Daughter of the Snow Queen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: White, Blue, Purple, Pink, Teal

Want it to be kind of iridescent like ice or snow

Fur coats and fur trim! (she’s gotta stay warm somehow)

Crystal and ice-like details

The vibe is meant to be like Y2K Paris Hilton at a ski resort if she was a fantasy princess

Snowflake motif and detailing

Accessories often made of pearl or silver to keep the ice/snowy look going

CHUNKY SHOES

Intricate bead embroidery and lace

Almost Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker vibes

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Charlotte and Prudence Stepwick 👠✨

(Styling Ever After High 47/52)

Charlotte and Prudence Stepwick, Ashlynn Ella’s Evil Stepsisters

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: ALL OF THEM

My background in theater costuming is really coming out in this one guys ( there’s some good stuff there)

Extravagant almost the point of being painful to look at (wealth that is not well spent, ie. kinda gaudy)

I want them to have less of a distinct look and be more of a unit

So much chunky jewelry and detailing - these girls JINGLE

Really heavy fabrics (lots of brocade and velvet!)

Meant to be a really big contrast from Ashlynn’s looks which are incredibly light and inspired by nature

I’m a big fan of just sticking bows and flowers on things

Elaborate and designer shoes specifically to be in contrast with the plain glass of the slipper

Big pattern on pattern vibes

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Maisie “Miss” Muffet 🕸️✨

(Styling Ever After High 45/52)

Maisie Muffet, Daughter of Little Miss Muffet

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Pink, White, Mint, Purple

I know she has 2 lines in the show but this is genuinely one of my favorite fashion concepts of the series

Lots of ribbon, yarn, silk and embroidery

Inspired by some older silhouettes - lots of 60s and some 50s

Needs her little cape!

Spider and spiderweb motif

Bows and flowers all over

Unique bags and hats

Owns a business in the dark forest so I wanted it to be somewhat otherworldly/fairy-like

Since you only see her whole outfit maybe one time, I took the colors and details and really just went to town with it

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Mira Shards🪞✨

(Styling Ever After High 44/52) - excuse the number change I miscounted or mislabeled somewhere

Mira Shards, Daughter of the Magic Mirror from Snow White and not at all the Evil Queen in disguise

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Black, White, Silver, Dark Pink

I got rid of the purple in her design because since it is not animated, her visual style would be too close to Raven (that would be a nice visual similarity but between the too but I think it would then make their connection too obvious)

Gothically inspired in the traditional sense - dark and grandiose details, maybe a bit of underlying otherness

Her looks are still stylish but I do want them to seem a bit more grown up than the other kids, like there’s just something off about it that can’t quite be placed

Lots of hanging details that are inspired by her accessories

Same goes for the lace

Some of the same pieces and silhouettes that are used for the Evil Queen, even if it is just subtlety

Shiny/Reflective details reminiscent of an actual mirror ~ shard details like the mirror prison

I want the pieces in her wardrobe to seem almost too shiny and new relative to the more lived in looks of some of the other characters

Like the concept of a veil being incorporated somehow (indicative of something to hide or the tradition of covering a mirror after someone’s death)

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Jackie and Northwind Frost ❄️✨🌬️✨

(Styling Ever After High 43/55)

Jackie and Northwind Frost, Children of Jack Frost

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jackie Frost:

Northwind Frost:

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Blue, White, Silver, Black

Puff, fur and knitwear abound

Lots of sculpture work and solidly built pieces (they are nature spirits, not fairytale characters-)

So much sparkles and bling and shininess

Combination of really innovative fashion and typical pieces associated with alpine-y communities

Lost of very light colors, like snowy animals they are meant to blend in

On the note of light colors ~ kinda WASPy vibes (oop-)

Big fan of the twins having interesting eyewear

I’m from the beach so I’ve never been to one but if I have - the vibe they need to be giving is most obnoxious people at the ski resort (up there with everyone else and that community but they are making an effort to talk about how much it sucks and how unlucky they are)

Goal would be to get some custom pieces from big brands in winter sports gear

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Melody Piper 🎸✨

(Styling Ever After High 41/55)

Melody Piper, Daughter of the Pied Piper

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Yellow, Black, Pink, Purple

Inspired by 90s Riot Grrrl fashion (Courtney Love, Gwen Stefani, Kathleen Hanna, etc.)

Music/Instrument/Tech motif

All the platforms!!

Plaid everywhere (think 90s Vivianne)

Leather accents to fits

Unlike Sparrow Hood, she is actually punk

Loosely based on how my friend dresses #protectthedolls

Layers and ruffles but not to create something cohesive, but to look messy

I feel like out of all the character designs in the show - hers is the most out of left field but I kind of love it anyways

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Madame Yaga 🔮✨

(Styling Ever After High 40/55)

Baba Yaga, THE Baba Yaga

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Brown, Red, Gold, Blue

Intricate head coverings

Sort of a mix between traditional babooshka and Slavic revival from the 70s

Carpet bags and shoes

Like stereotypically “witchy” as opposed to the cartoon ~ more rooted in the culture the story is from

Thick leather boots

Lots of knitwear and shawls (layers)

Bronze and gold detailing to add this sense of luxury

Rich fabrics to command a sense of power and respect from those around her

The occasional furs (for the vibes)

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Giles Grimm 🖋️✨

(Styling Ever After High: 39/55)

Giles Grimm, Cursed and locked away under Ever After High and 2/2 of the Brothers Grimm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Red, Orange, Gold, Brown

Very much eccentric grandpa look

Combination of luxury and homemade/worm items

I came up with a head cannon that he has a collection of eccentric ties all gifted to him by Maddie whenever she visits him in the basement

Milton’s looked centered on the authority that comes with being a storyteller, Giles is meant to represent the more human part of that

Lots of and roughy textiles

No specifically tailored silhouette, he is focused on comfort and appearing to be himself ~ more oversized

Florals, wanting to bring in some nature since he is trapped without

Tiny little old man glasses <3

I don’t know if I can explain this but he needs to have a feral Doctor Who like energy

Personal Note: Apologies for the slow update, I just finished my summer job and as soon as I got home I had to go through some surgery. Hopefully, now that my routine will be getting more regular again - updates will become more frequent.

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Headmaster Milton Grimm 🗝️✨

(Styling Ever After High: 38/55)

Milton Grimm, Headmaster of Ever After High and 1/2 of the Brothers Grimm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Black, White, Brown, Metals

Based in 19th century mens fashion (era of origin for Grimm tales)

Book, Key and Bird motifs

Waist and Overcoats galore

Always an air of respectability

Added a detailed cane because I think it adds to the stateliness and the idea that he has at one point fought for the world to be like it is

Inspired by lots of other powerful men (dictators) in fiction - Wizard of Oz, Hades, Elias Bouchard, Julian Marrow, etc.

Clothes made out of rich/heavy textiles

Leather gloves and heavy rings (add an extra layer of untouchability)

All of it incredibly tailored and detailed

[fashionschoolreject]

Styling Ever After High Characters: Sparrow Hood 💰✨

(Styling Ever After High: 37/55)

Sparrow Hood, Son of Robin Hood

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Key Styling Details:

Colors: Black, Brown, Green, Gold

Like so much of the guys in the show - Sparrow’s fit was so 2010s that it needed a major revamp

The vibe here was meant to be like a fantasy version of a TikTok fuckboy

Wanted him to be styled to look slightly more wealthy since Robin Hood did gain wealth and notoriety

Lots of leather - patterned and otherwise

Accessories everywhere ~ in a very punk fashion (reminder: punk fashion ≠ punk ideals)

Vests - I just love putting a man in a vest

THE HAT STAYS

All of his outfits have a very specific silhouette

Quality pieces but distressed from use

Variety of textures happening

Puffy details!
