Construction: I went to wal*mart to buy yellow denim. Wal*mart doesnt carry that. I bought white denim and yellow fabric dye. I dyed the fabric (oo, go me!). I then bought a sundress pattern similar to Selphie's, altered parts of it slightly, and sewed me a yellow denim dress with a sewing machine. Yay for me and my mad skillz. I searched for shoes like Selphie's. I found them in white. So I bought them (only $3) and painted them brown. I will also inform you that you cannot buy a jumprope with simple brown handles and white rope. I ended up buying a jumprope with yellow handles and blue and yellow rope. I painted the handles brown, and ditched the rope and replaced it with white rope. The bracelet. Hmmm. Wal*mart doesn't sell bags of beads solely in blue. I had to buy 4-5 bags of multicolors of beads before I had enough blue beads to make a bracelet. Yeah. And the wig? *twitches* Lots of hair spray and hot blowdryer. The back pocket never got sewed on, simply because I didn't realize until recently that they existed. I plan to put those on before NDK. The shoes gave me bad blisters the first time I wore this costume. So I figured out how to wrap my feet in duct tape without it being obvious.

Two of these pictures required actual effort. Eurobeat King asked me to jump rope with my Selphie rope. I haven't jump roped in years! It was interesting, especially considering what I was wearing.
