Promising Young Woman: Cassandra “Cassie” Thomas

I was very tempted to buy this full costume to be Cassandra “Cassie” Thomas from Promising Young Woman. Besides the fact that this price is a great deal to get all these items together (after I priced them individually too), I’ve had a nurse’s costume on my list for a while, and there is no doubt that I would rock that pastel wig again! However, in the spirit of this assignment (that I can gave myself) to use as much as I could from what I already owned prior to buying anything new, I decided to do a different Cassie outfit. Initially, I was only planning for the outfit with pants, but after rewatching the movie, I ended up pulling two more looks together for a total of three ‘fits for this character. #Overachiever

The back of someone dressed as Cassie Thomas from Promising Young Woman. The emphasis is on how the long blonde wig is clipped up with a claw.

Hair #1: Ombre Blonde Long Curly Wig I wanted to put it up into a bun, but because this is a wig, it was obvious when I started styling it. As such, I just clipped up the majority in a claw and tried to twist the ends into some sort of baby bun to provide a similar vibe.

Makeup #1:

Eyes: Very Black Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof Mascara

Lips: Ringleader ColourPop Ultra Blotted Lip Liquid Lipstick

Nails: If you only get one detail to nail this character, it should be Cassie’s nails. There is a great write-up about it here. They are a pastel rainbow manicure. I wish I had more of a peach color for my pointer fingers, and in retrospect, I might have done a light pink instead of the orange. I have a better green too, but they all look the same in the bottles. All polishes are from the brand Zoya.

Accessories #1: Black Kenneth Cole Reaction Shoulder Bag I got this from my mother on my most recent trip out to visit. I carried all my stuff around her house in it. I love it.

A black lace strapless dress with handkerchief hem on a dress form with a silver purse. Silver glitter heels are in front on the ground.

I’m more of a silver person than a gold one, so I just changed up this look to match my metal tone.

Outfit #2: Black Lace Exquz Strapless Dress with Handkerchief Hem

Shoes: Silver Glitter CL by Laundry Pointed Toe Heels

Hair #2: Loose Curl TNAT/27613 Bobbi Boss Tress Up Ponytail I got this ponytail hairpiece and another in a darker color as part of that auction wig lot. They were still in the original packaging with the plastic bit attached. I don’t know that I would have ventured out of wigs into ponytail territory if they hadn’t come with other things I was more interested in (namely a blue wig for Coraline), but now that I’ve tried this one, it might become part of my regular wear.

I think my Party Grrrl™️ license is expired (if not revoked) because I am ashamed to admit that I do not own any silver arm cuffs currently. I will hang my head in shame until this is remedied.
