How to Style a Spirit Jersey
Now, THIS is a challenge! I swore to all that was holy that I would never ever get a spirit jersey. They are big, boxy, but tapered enough at the bottom that they don’t hang right on you. They are just plain, well, not a good look. My opinion, of course.
But then, Disney did this to me…
Needless to say, I bought a spirit jersey. Get your own here. Once I received it, I had to take scissors to it first to remove the high neck. T-shirt surgery tutorial here. Make sure you don’t cut the back too low to keep the awesome lettering on the back. Then I cropped it off so I could wear it with high-waisted leggings or skirts.
Because the top is so voluminous, you need to balance out the bottom of the outfit with something close to the body. Balance is key.
I paired my spirit jersey with my new Big 3 pin and Bucky Barnes dogtags. I wore a stretch pencil skirt from Forever 21 with it and some silver clunky sneakers from Fila. Click on links to buy.

A Day at Touch of Disney
Recently, boyfriend Bill and I got to go to Disney’s California Adventure for their Touch of Disney event.
This was the perfect opportunity to wear my Captain America dress by Her Universe for Disney Dress Shop!
Because of COVID, this poor dress has been waiting patiently in my closet for almost a year to go out and strut.
It was totally worth the wait! As always, this dress is made well, looks great and is super comfy.
I paired it with my slip on Chuck Taylor’s by Converse and an Amazon petticoat. Lipstick is our very own in the “Darcy” shade in the store.
We had an amazing day! Now that the parks are all about to open, I’m looking forward to sharing new and original builds for Galaxy’s Edge and Avenger’s Campus, so stay tuned.

Outfit of the Day: Emperor’s New Groove
Welcome to Kuzcotopia!
I’m so excited to share this new skirt from “The Emperor’s New Groove” by Her Universe for Hot Topic.
“The Emperor’s New Groove” has long been a favorite Disney movie of mine, and I am so glad to see that Hot Topic now has a whole line of clothing to celebrate it.
This skirt is size inclusive, up to a 5xl. It is available at both Her Universe and Hot Topic.
I love the vibrant color and the fabric is a super stretchy and comfy scuba, so it keeps its shape. I also love the length, which is just below the knee. You can turn it into a move vintage look by adding a petticoat.
My shirt is from Torrid. Click on links to buy.
It may not be complete with water slide, but darn it, it’s pretty awesome!
Happy Shopping!

Outfit of the Day: Aristocats Dress by The Disney Dress Shop
Our latest outfit of the day is the Aristocats pin-up dress by The Disney Dress Shop.
I love the style of this dress so much!
The color of the dress is my favorite part. I just love that the designer embraced the pink and ran with it. The detailing on the skirt is also so beautiful.
Like all Disney Dress Shop dresses, I love the fit! It is a very fancy looking dress, but as comfortable as a t-shirt. And…pockets! I also love that they added sleeves to this one. I hope they continue this trend with the new dresses.
Pick up your own dress here. The blue acrylic bag and shoes are from Amazon. Sunglasses are a lucky find at the dollar store. Click links to purchase.
Happy shopping!

Happy 2020 and Happy Blogiversary to Us!
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had an amazing time over the holidays. We had a great time, and now we are looking forward to a new year of fashion! There are some great new things coming up this year that we need to get ready for. WonderCon, Spring Dapper Day and the opening of the Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure.
Until then, here’s a quick recap of my holiday trip to Disneyland (Benji had theatre and couldn’t make it. Just want you all to know I’m not a jerk that went to Disneyland without my kid!)
I wore my Disney Dress Shop dress and silver holo ears.
This dress is no longer available at shopdisney.com, but you can still get it on Amazon. Same goes for the ears.
I had a great time enjoying the holiday decor, not to mention the treats.
So, here is our first outfit of the day for the year. A year with tons of fashion adventures ahead. So, stay tuned…
Until next time…

Cosplay How-to and Shopping Guide: Robin Hood Dapper Day
InPlainSight.style’s latest group cosplay was for Fall Dapper Day at Disneyland. We went as Robin Hood and Little John.
In this post, we’ll break-down Benji’s Robin Hood dapper cosplay using the Team Build Checklist.
Here is a good reference photo to build upon.
This photo has Robin wearing a yellow hat, however, in appearances in the parks and for most of the film, he is wearing a green hat. So, we went with a green hat.
The Leader and The Brick
Robin’s hat serves as both the Leader and the Brick because his ears are a part of that. His hat was important to show the character as Robin Hood, but also a dapper version of Robin.
We chose a newsboy cap from Amazon. Then we purchased a set of fox ears and tail from Spirit Halloween. I cut the ears off of the headband, cut holes in the hat and worked the ears through the holes. Then I secured the ears with hot glue.
The Scientist
The Scientist needed to be green shoes, so we found some Chuck Taylor-style shoes from Amazon.
The Exotic
The Exotic needs to be the outfit itself. What makes him Robin Hood and not just a fox wearing clothes. Now for the tunic. A tunic is not dapper, so we went with a button down and tie. Because Robin is an outlaw, we decided with a business tie, but left undone. The shirt and tie and both from Amazon.
The pants we went with brown as a substitute for the fox fur legs.
The Blaster
We opted to not do fox make-up because it is Dapper Day and not a full-on cosplay. WE did need one more item to finish the look. Because Robin is busy robbing, he needed a money bag to keep his treasure in. As luck would have it, I found a purse literally shaped like a money bag on Amazon.
Next up is my Little John look. Until then, happy shopping!

New Dapper Bound: Captain America Stealth Suit Dress- DIY Instructions
For my latest cosplay, I put together a look for Dapper Day of my favorite Captain America suit, the stealth suit.
The dress is pretty easy to put together. I found some iron-on transfer paper at a craft store. With that, a star-shaped cookie cutter and a straight edge, I was able to create the stealth dress.
When choosing your star, make sure you choose one that is good scale to your body. Then you will need three stripes on each side, again, keep an eye on the scale. The stripes end at the arms at a 90 degree angle, but are diagonally cut to fit close to the star. The lengths also vary, with two shorter stripes on the top and bottom and the longest in the middle.
Here are some reference pictures for you:
Here is a shopping guide for the look:

Happy shopping and crafting!
