Ash, Misty and Brock, Pokemon

Check out more of my cosplay on Instagram, Youtube and Facebook!

Let’s be real; 10 year old me wanted to be Misty so badly. At the time she was literally all my favorite things rolled into one – a tough tomboy who got to spend all her time outside in nature looking for magical animals to be best friends with. Dressing up as her is still one of my favorite things to do because it makes me feel like if I step outside and start looking around maybe I really will find a Psyduck hiding in some tall grass after all.

Obviously there wasn’t much to make for this costume aside from hemming the shirt. I bought everything else, including my Pokeball which used to be a keychain. While I love the challenge of making a costume this was a case where getting to be a character I love was more important than making something from scratch.
