The Outfit<\/strong><\/p>\n Dapper Day Expo takes place in the course of two days. For my Day One look, I bounded as Roxas from Kingdom Hearts. My Disneybound colleague was going as Aqua. I am in the process of going through all the Kingdom Hearts games.\u00a0 I decided to go as Roxas. The outfit consists of a skirt by Heart of Haute, a jacket by Vixen, a scarf by Besame, and simple saddle shoes. I had my hair done by Hairstyling by Melissa on property. I learned about her services through Instagram and I was very much satisfied!<\/p>\n For Day 2, I wasn’t bounding anything in particular. I wanted to wear a dress that was in my closet since January. The sailor dress needed to see the light of day. Melissa’s hair styling skills really held up! I maintained the victory rolls and the Lolita inspired outfit.<\/p>\n Jared the Greek wore his King Mickey inspired outfit for Dapper Day. Likewise, his bounds are thought of on the morning of.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Expo<\/strong><\/p>\n Last Spring’s expo was a sad disappointment. Because Viva was happening the same weekend, many vendors had to pick one or the other. Thankfully, in 2019, Viva and Dapper Day were on different weekends.This year, there were a ton more vendors…and a lot more time to go out on the dance floor too! I went on Day One – there was a line forming outside of the convention center before opening hours. I waited it out for a bit. I ended up catching Dandy Wellington’s performance. Dandy Wellington was recommended by a few of my East Coast friends – his neo-Harlem style is a breath of fresh air and also fun to dance to! I usually don’t come in with a date to the Expo, so I just proceeded to do my usual Carlton. When in doubt, do the Carlton.<\/p>\n Because of the many vendors, I had no idea I was going to spend more than what I expected. We had Platinum Parlor that sold jewelry reminiscent of the 1920s and 1930s. We had Star Brite Motel that sold earrings and flair echoing the glamour and sparkle of the 1950s. Tatyana Boutique had a huge presence selling their exclusive Alice print dress as well as recent favorites. I ended up taking home more jewelry than I expected! If you plan to spend that $12 to go to the Expo, plan to spend a little more than you think you would spend.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
