Running Wild in Impractical Outfits Tag


(Images used are from Pixabay, I normally use my own photos but I didn't have a picture of a closet). 

 I was tagged by McKayla at Tales of a Triple Threat. Thank you so much, McKayla. This tag sounds so fun, it actually reminds me a bit of a conversation I had with a friend once about something somewhat similar to this. 

The Rules

-Put a link to her blog, Autumn Ink

-Put a link to your post in the comments section of the original post

-Tag people if you want to

-Have fun with this tag, and feel free to add things, change locations, or whatever you want

-The outfits you choose can be from anywhere you like [movies, books, TV shows, real life, etc.], and they can be as practical or as impractical as you want. Choose with as much flagrant disregard or custom for the rules as you choose. 

-You have to bring a different fictional character of your choosing to each location.


                                                              At The Beach

I would wear this mermaid tail, given that it would be fun to wear on the beach.
While I don't know if it is water proof, I could always create one that is.

Once I've dried off, I would wear the dress that Ariel wears at the end of The Little Mermaid
I would invite Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) to come with me and maybe train on the beach with her. 

                                                             Car Wash

(Image from wiki, https://tangled.fandom.com/wiki/Varian%27s_Outfits?file=Varian_Vertical.jpg)

I'm going to assume that I'd be the one washing the cars, so I would wear what Varian wears in Tangled: The Series. Given that he wears it when he does alchemy, it wouldn't get messed up while washing cars. And I would bring Pippi Longstocking with me, because I'm sure she would find a way to make the car wash really really fun. 

                                                        University of Glasglow

(Image from BBC, https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zxhf82p/revision/2)

This outfit from the play Frankenstein is in essence what I wear often (well sort of: I wear modern clothes with, 18th-19th century looking  jackets, so not exactly the same). But either way, this would be something I would totally wear to the University of Glasglow.

I would bring either Victor or the Creature with me to the college, given that Victor Frankenstein is a college dropout.

                                                          Abandoned Castle

I am writing a story that is set in a castle that had previously been abandoned, so I really like this question...particularly because it makes me think of something from a Gothic book.... 
So I have two different clothing pieces that I would wear: 
                                                        
(Image from IMdb, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053925/mediaviewer/rm409376768/)

This is from The Fall of the House of Usher. I really like the jacket and the vest and everything in this outfit, and it would be fun to wear in an abandoned castle.

I would wear this outfit from Jane Eyre and just alternate between wearing both those outfits while I stay in this abandoned (probably haunted) castle.

 And I would bring Dorian Gray and Basil Hallward with me from The Picture of Dorian Gray. I feel it would be very fitting given the overall mood of their book. 

                                                       Summer Picnic

(Image from wiki fandom, https://anne-with-an-e.fandom.com/wiki/Anne_Shirley_Cuthbert?file=3x03-04-Anne.jpg#Season_3)

I would wear Anne's outfit from Anne with an E. It seems perfect for a summer picnic. I would invite Igraine from Igraine the Brave to come with me, since it would be fun to talk to her. 

                                                     Summer Roadtrip

                                   
(Image from BBC America, https://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2011/07/how-to-dress-like-the-eleventh-doctor)

                                                            

I would be in the car for a long time I assume, so I would wear something comfortable. I would choose the 11th Doctor's outfit. I would invite Crowley and Aziraphale from Good Omens to come with me. They would make the road trip extra fun. (And we would probably ride in Crowley's Bentley). 

                                                             In The Woods
(Image from Twitter, https://twitter.com/LindseyStirling/status/1176908608438599680/photo/2)

I love Lindsey Stirling's take on the Greek goddess, Artemis. Artemis is the goddess of the hunt and wild-life, so of course I would wear this outfit. It would be so cool to walk around the woods wearing this, because it's so pretty. 💚  And I would invite Kira and Jen from The Dark Crystal to come with me. I think Kira would be a good choice because she knows how to talk to animals. 
                   
                                                   Dancing In The Rain

(Image from Retro Fairy, https://www.retro-fairy.com/products/cottagecore-prairie-lace-up-vintage-green-dress?variant=39302054051895&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic)

The issue with dancing in the rain is that your clothes are likely to get really really wet. So I wouldn't want to wear something too layered or from a movie I really like. Instead I would wear this pretty dress. Even though I like it I would be fine with it getting wet. 

I would invite Katara to come with me from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Given that she is a water bender I think she would be the perfect person to invite with me to dance out in the rain. 


                                                                          Paris
(Images from Rotten tomatoes, https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/phantom_of_the_opera/pictures)

I would alternate between wearing Christine's dress from "Think of Me" and Raul's jacket from "Masquerade." I think if anything I would wear Christine's dress for festive celebrations and Raul's jacket while I am casually walking around Paris. (I have a jacket similar to Raul's minus the gold embroidery that I wear casually).  

I would invite Lady Pole, Jonathon Strange, and John Segundus from Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell to come with me. I'm sure the trip to Paris would be magical if they came. 
                                
                                              In a cottage with a garden

(Image from Rotten Tomatoes, https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_hobbit_an_unexpected_journey/pictures)

Since it is a cottage, I would wear something comfortable and that at the same time feels “cottage-y." I'd wear what Bilbo Baggins wears in the first Hobbit movie. And I would invite Newt Scamander from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them over, (I don't like the author's recent problematic behavior, but I like the character).  It would be fun to hang out with Newt in the garden. 


                                                        Circus or Masquerade
I'm going to assume it's a historical masquerade (just to be more fun) and that it goes on for several nights. In those several nights I would wear...

(Image from Rotten Tomatoes, https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/william_shakespeares_romeo_and_juliet#&gid=1&pid=19)


This really cool knight costume that Romeo wears in Romeo and Juliet. I think it would be really cool to wear for a masquerade. 
(Image from IMDb, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120631/mediaviewer/rm3426499840/)

Next, I would this dress from Ever After: A Cinderella Story, because it is so pretty looking and also perfect for a masquerade. And I would invite Sonora from Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep to come with me, because why not? 
                                                             On the Moor

(Image from IMDb, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1238834/mediaviewer/rm2811567872/)

This question reminds me so much of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights .  So I would wear an outfit from a movie version of Wuthering Heights, and I would walk around the moor at night wearing it and holding a single lit candle and imagine myself in a Gothic setting. Then the second outfit I would wear would be...
(Image from IMDb, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0347149/mediaviewer/rm2714125056/)

...the outfit Howl wears in Howl's Moving Castle when he rescues Sophie. And walk around the moor wearing it with the jacket just on my shoulders blowing in the wind. Just to be dramatic

And during this trip to the moor (which I am going to assume is near a haunted location of some kind), I'd bring Catherine Morland with me from Northhanger Abbey.  I think she would really enjoy the Gothic setting. 


It's the '20s [or some other era], and your husband's been mysteriously murdered. What's your outfit?

 Why do I feel like I would be the one behind the murder?  I mean my husband "mysteriously" died it seems like you're hinting that I'm behind it. *wink* 

(Image from Cluedo wiki fandom, https://cluedo.fandom.com/wiki/Mrs._Peacock?file=Peacock+Mobile.jpg)

This question reminded me of the board game Clue, which I have played a lot of times and while there is a movie version I feel Miss Peacock's outfits don't capture what I'm trying to get with this one. I would instead wear Miss Peacock's outfit from the board game for when I'm not talking to the detective and am just free from the marriage. 
(Image from IMDB, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3402236/mediaviewer/rm1844531712/)

And then I would wear this outfit from The Murder on the Orient Express when I'm talking to the detective. And I would bring Vera Claythorne from And Then Were None with me. If I am going to be suspicious I may as well be suspicious with someone who is more suspicious than me.

I tag: 
Maith at Maith's Musings
