It’s time for this month’s Casual Cosplay Connections. Charlie and I created this fun, monthly linkup as a way for us to all join in on some casual cosplay fun. This month’s theme is Strong Female Characters. The first woman that popped in my head was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I’ll admit I’ve not watched the entire series, but I was OBSESSED with the video game when I was in college. I honestly decided to play it initially because I loved that there was a female lead, and then I just got hooked. Nothing was more satisfying than kicking butt in a game as a bad ass female, so that’s why I chose to channel Buffy for my look.
I was pleasantly surprised that I happened to have her iconic crimson colored pants in my closet, making this look a no brainer for me. I have far too many black tanks so that made this ensemble even easier. I paired it with black boots, a cross necklace, and my husband even made me a little wooden stake. That, right there, is love.
I can’t wait to see all of your looks this month! Don’t forget to tag us on social media so we can see which strong female character you’re cosplaying.
Next month’s theme is Fall TV Favorites, so be sure to join in and show us which Fall TV character you’re most excited to see back on the screen.
You look awesome! I never watched Buffy but my sister did and she loved the show. Also, your husband is the coolest since he made you that little prop! 😝
Thanks! I had to give hubby props for making it for me 🙂
I love your outfit! I will admit that I never watched Buffy, but I have heard amazing things about that show!
Thanks!!! I’ve really enjoyed the episodes I’ve seen, just need to watch them all 🙂
Love the outfit! Buffy’s still one of my very favourite shows to this day. It was a huge part of my teenage years. When I hear ‘strong female’ anything, Buffy’s still the first to pop into my head <3
My best friend was obsessed in high school so that’s how I saw some episodes – she really does kick butt 🙂
You look awesome!! Your hubby rocks!! I love me some Buffy too!!
Yay – so funny we both went with Buffy 🙂
Those pants are badass!! I actually had no idea there was a Buffy game, but I’ll bet it was a lot of fun! Awesome look, girly<3
I got the pants at Hot Topic on super duper clearance $7 woo hoo 🙂 The Buffy game was SO fun!
I missed the boat on Buffy when it was on TV, and haven’t gone back to watch the series, but I LOVE this outfit! You look so great! I think I need red jeans in my life. 😀
I’ve only just now started to watch the series, but I’ve seen some episodes here and there. I think everyone should have some red jeans…they’re so fun 🙂
I loveeeeddddd watching Buffy, but I’m not sure that I’ve ever watched EVERY single episode. Maybe its time for a binge……..
Netflix binges are the best…just saying ha 🙂
Great outfit -totally cute and you totally rock it! I’ve only ever seen a handful of Buffy episodes since the hubby watched the show on occasion.
Thanks 🙂
