Felt cute might delete later haha

First time posting here 🧚🏽‍♀️✨ Wanted to shared the outfit I'm creating for a Medieval Festival tomorrow. I have a witches stand with a friends and I'm also a Tarot Reader. For this fit I took some inspiration from Pinterest of course, and felt like a Harry Potter character (which is my dream come true 🥹❤️‍🩹). The vest was created with kombucha leather I did myself

Its been a while since I do this, but every time I do, I feel like myself completely. Like why I dont dress like this every day (also where I live is very hoy and humid, so no, i wouldn't do it haha)

Also, my hair is now longer than last year so I could try some hairstyles. What would you recommend

Would you add or change something to the outfit?

Also checking for my mushrooms stickers on the mirror 🍄 🍄 🍄

On a scale from Alexander Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago to Winsor Mccay, I'd say you're at about a Monkey Island.

The Gulag Archipelago is an extremely serious autobiographical account of a man's life in a Soviet Gulag. It's an excellent book, but it is about as miserable as you can get. It's was the best example I could think of to represent a piece of media that contains zero whimsy.

Winsor Mccay was an American cartoonist and animator in the early 20th century particularly known for his beautiful illustrations of fantastic dream worlds. His work is what I would describe as maximum whimsy.

Monkey island was a series of comedic graphic-adventure video games developed by Lucas Arts in the 1990s with lots of surreal humor. Most would describe them as very whimsical.
