Get your jasmine on! + DIY costume!

Disney Day
Finally at long last it was Disney Day! ahhh I had been waiting so long for this, I mean who doesn't love all things Disney?! It was an extremely difficult choice but in the end I  decided to go as Jasmine, because that girl is FIERCE. Sooooooo without further ado, let's begin this DIY.
For a wee bit more conservative take on Jasmine's sexy outfit, I wore high-waisted harem pants from  Greece that I borrowed from a friend. You could probably use leggings or even teal sweatpants. Here's how to make the top:
1. Find a white strapless bra that you don't care about.

2. buy a couple yards of light blue tulle, hot glue gun, and glue sticks, you also might want some thread and a needle.
3. take one edge of the piece of tulle fabric and hot glue it to your strapless bra.
4. Without cutting the tulle, glue the tulle to the top inside edge of the bra in a slight gathering pattern like your making a pie crust. your know when you pinch the crust dough and then fold it over in a certain direction? sort of like that. I apologize about the pie tangent. 
5. When you get to the middle part of the bra between the two "cups", twist the tulle and bring it around the bra and repeat the pie-crust-tulle-pinching- process again.        
6. once the tulle is glued to the bra, you can cut small strips off the end of the piece of fabric and either safety pin, or handset on straps if you want. Then simply wrap the remaining tulle around yourself and secure with safety pins, and you're done!                      


Jasmine's puffy ponytail is an iconic part of her entire look, here's how to re create it:

1. secure your hair in a low side,ponytail with a gold hair tie if available (mine's from H&M)
2. twist the ponytail and secure it with a second gold hair tie.
3. Next, tug outwards on the twisted portion to make it puffy
4. grab the bottom portion of your hair in two sections, and pull out, pushing the hair tie upwards.
5. repeat steps 3 and 4 until desired "puffiness" is achieved, and spray with light hairspray.
