Paul and I struggled with ideas this year. And time! We finally decided on Ragnar and Laegertha (Vikings).
I am linking in some of the inspirations, images, tutorials, etc.
For my costume, I wanted to dress as a Shield Maiden, in full warrior regalia. The best photos I found were Season 2 and Season 3 promotional photos posted on FanPop.
I don't have leather pants, nor the budget for leather pants 😆,
so I went with a blue tunic top and brown leggings.
It took me days to find a top I liked, in a color I liked, because there were so many choices, and none seemed quite right! I ended up choosing one that is kind of a cross. It's longer, like an apron dress, but I'll still wear it like the tunic over leggings.
My favorite achievable tutorial was this one, by SweetHearts Hair on YouTube.
Oh, and since my hair is shorter now, and mostly grey, I bought a wig and some styling tools as well!
The makeup I'm just going to try on my own, but I did get some black eyeliner.
I'll wear my brown boots, and I got these cool wrist gauntlets too. Paul is planning to build swords and shields, but we did find a giant knife which I will use as my sword if we run out of time.
I found this neat vest at the thrift store, and it will be my leather armor! And, since we live in Wyoming, I have a leather/fur coat in case I need it...also a great find at the thrift store!
He will also wear his own boots and the really cool gauntlets!
