costuming: river

[amezri]

I'm planning a River Tam outfit... not sure which one. Will have to discuss it with queenmaab. Definitely something from Serenity, though. So of course I'm looking at boots. Looks like River is wearing a black, mid-calf boot with three buckles on the side. Of course, that style of boot was all the rage 2 years ago and I just never paid attention.

I did manage to find these boots on Amazon, which I really love for a River costume. So I got them in grey. I'm afraid they might be too light, but I might be able to darken them up with shoe polish or something. I just really love the rough, used look of them, which is what I think they'd have out in the black anyway. Right? Anyway, they were a bit more that I wanted to even spend, but I think they would work for any of the River outfits: the dress from the opening heist, the blue dress from Maidenhead, and the green dress in the final battle.

I'm having some serious spending issues at the moment and just can't seem to stop -_-; I have no idea what my problem is. I'm not made of money and yet...

Didn't she have a red dress with some gold gauze stuff on it? Red and gold would look so good on you. Especially with crazy buckle boots.

Hmm... not sure... I don't remember one like that. Maybe you're thinking of this one? This is the one I'd really like to do.

Yeah, I get that too -- stressing about my finances gives me the urge to spend wildly and run up debts.

love the idea of that purply one. and those boots are great - it's going to be awesome :)


as for the spending thing, total empathy there. i just get in these moods sometimes, and it's very damaging...makes my checking account cry, etc etc :op
