At Last, I Cosplayed Zélie Adebola!

Quick little overview, Zélie Adebola is the main character from the “Children of Blood and Bone” book series by Tomi Adeyemi, and I finally cosplayed her! This cosplay turned out better than I imagined, and I had high standards, OK! I think I was so intimidated when it came to cosplaying Zél because I didn’t want to mess up, but I realized I can just redo it again and again until I’m satisfied, but luckily the first one hit.

Back in August I posted my concept for Zél, and I ended up simplifying it which sucks for me because I can’t refund my items LOL. But it’s fine I’ll find a way to use em! Me finally doing this cosplay on a random Tuesday is so funny like I didn’t even plan it like I do for my other cosplays, I just knew I had to do it before the end of the year. But the spontaneity of it all really made me realize I need to CHILLL when it comes to cosplays and just have fun!! Not everything needs to be perfectly curated girl, just go with the flow.
