Happy u’s Monday! Sharing some more photos from the Love Live! meetup at Youmacon. I still can’t believe I actually hosted one of these, but I’d do it again. The question is - where next? #cosplay #eliayase #lovelive

Before the original was even finished I knew it’d need some work. 🥲 Glad it worked out in the end because now I can look at this costume with pride (and not find fallen rhinestones all over the house 😆).

Happy #wipwednesday! Darkness is coming along slowly but surely. I did a mock up of the orange skirt after a few rounds of patterning. I also re-pleated the black skirt and added some lace to the hem. My wig arrived yesterday, but before that I resin cast the hair clips as well! #konosubacosplay

Happy u’s Monday! Since MegaCon is this week, here’s a throwback to when I wore cyber Eli at the 2023 convention. Funnily enough, I haven’t worn this or been to Mega since 2023. 😂😅 But I hope everyone going this year has fun! 📸 - @wonderllamaphoto w/ @nerdcaliber.bsky.social #lovelive #cosplay

Happy #winxwednesday ! The world’s been a bit cold and gray this week, both literally and figuratively. Wish Stella could manifest some sunshine for us. ☀️ Remember when it was warm enough to wear this? Give me that weather back lol At least Sonic 3 is streaming now #winxclub #cosplay #winx #stella

Check out these two (too) cute #lovelive figures I added to my bookshelf this week! I don’t collect a ton of figures (my poor wallet lmao), but I like to get ones of characters/versions I’ve cosplayed. I waited a few years to find Sumire for an affordable price, so these coming home made my week. 💗

Happy #wipwednesday ! I finished a few more things for Darkness. Next is the main orange skirt, which I’ll start patterning this weekend. A chill start to this build, but it’ll only get more challenging from here. #konosuba #cosplay #workinprogress

It’s #wipwednesday and we’re starting a brand new build! Nothing recognizable yet- have to get through the under layers first. I might replace the skirt’s elastic waistband with a zipper so it sits more flatly with everything going on top, but that’s future me’s problem. Good to be sewing again!

Happy u’s Monday! It’s been very chilly since I got back from England. Somehow I managed to bring some lower temps home with me. ❄️ Luckily I got some fluffy pjs that are warm like Eli’s for Christmas. Can’t wait until it’s warm again! #lovelive #eliayase #cosplay

Happy New Year! Let’s start it off with an intro. Hi, I’m Chloe! 👋🏻 I’ve been cosplaying and attending cons since 2013, competing since 2021. My favorite characters are magical girls and idols, but this year I’ll be branching out to some other stuff. Looking forward to seeing you at a con soon! 🌟

Today is National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day and we’re having a contest at the office, so I wore this. 😂 The mirror and sweater were a combined $3 because both were on sale and I had rewards points from Joann’s. Happy to report it’s been a hit! 👍🏻 Leaving for London after work tonight! So excited.

“I picked this out just for you, Gojo-kun. ❤️” It’s #marinmonday and I finally finished my gift wrapping - which means it’s time to pack for my trip. At least normie vacations are easier to pack for than conventions. Only a few more days! #mydressupdarling #cosplay #marinkitagawa

Excited to finally share some festive photos! I haven’t done a holiday shoot since 2021 (because, ya know, con crunch), but I love doing them and this year’s was especially fun since I got to shoot multiple characters. Here’s to making the last month of 2024 a fun one! #mydressupdarling #cosplay

Happy u’s Monday! 🩵 The temperatures finally started to drop here in Florida, which makes me want to cozy up in Eli’s pajamas. These are SO warm. While they were too hot a few weeks ago, they’d come in clutch right about now. Can’t believe it’s almost winter already! ❄️ #lovelive #cosplay #eliayase
