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

Outfit #1: A[X]IST Modern Fit White Button-up Collared Long Sleeve Shirt
Previously seen on The Mayor from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Heather Chandler, and Heather Duke from Heathers
Black DJ Summers Vintage Blazer
Shoes: Black Vince Camuto Leather Kitten Heel Pumps
Previously seen on Regina George from Mean Girls

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.
Previously seen as Baby Firefly from The Devil’s Rejects, Regina George from Mean Girls, Allison from Tucker and Dale vs Evil, Jay Height from It Follows, and Heather Chandler from Heathers

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.

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
Previously seen as a skirt on Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice.
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.

Makeup #2:
Eyes: Very Black Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof Mascara
Lips: Ringleader ColourPop Ultra Blotted Lip Liquid Lipstick
Share a Smile Wet n Wild Care Bears Shimmer Lip Gloss

Accessories #2: Large Silver Hoop Earrings that came as a free gift with a wig.
Two Silver Twist Avon Stretch Bangle Bracelets are from my G-ma.
Black Crochet Zig Zag Choker Necklace came as part of a set.
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.

Accessories #2: Silver Sequined Avon Mark Clasp Purse with Chain Strap I have owned this for many years.

Outfit #3: White A New Day Scoop Neck Tee Shirt
Gray with Black Leather Trim Graff Suit Jacket This is part of a set I bought at a thrift store that came with the jacket, pants, and long skirt that match. An amazing find in my size!
Black Who What Wear Cigarette Pants with Back Zipper Enclosure
Shoes: Black Vince Camuto Leather Kitten Heel Pumps
Previously seen on Regina George from Mean Girls

Hair #3: Medium Wavy Blonde Wig with Bangs
Previously seen as Heather McNamara from Heathers and Grace Stewart from The Others

Makeup #3:
Eyes: Very Black Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof Mascara
Lips: Ringleader ColourPop Ultra Blotted Lip Liquid Lipstick

Accessories #3: Half of a Vintage Best Friends Necklace I got for $8 (for the full heart set of both Best and Friends) on eBay.
Silver Face Slim Black Strap Diamond Brand Wristwatch

Prop 1: Tire Iron from inside my partner’s vehicle.

Prop 2: Two small notebooks. One full; one empty before tally marks.
Blue, Black, and Red pens. I have a shortage of black pens in my house because I apparently used them all up.
Rainbow Striped Hair Scrunchie from my G-ma.
