Closet Chloe

I didn’t have The Apothecary Diaries on my cosplay bingo card for 2025

But sometimes there’s a sale on Etsy and-

A chef, a scientist, a Sailor Guardian, and a school idol - these are some of my favorite characters I’ve cosplayed recently and I’m sharing them for #internationalwomensday !

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve been sitting on this photo until this very occasion. Excited for all the couples’ stuff Chris and I have planned for today and tomorrow.

Hug your people and your pets, then get some of that discounted chocolate. 🍫

Happy #winxwednesday ! ☀️ After a few short weeks of Florida “winter,” warm weather is back and I enjoy being outside again. I still haven’t been to the beach since this shoot, but maybe soon! 🏖️

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 #nonfictionfriday ! 🪐

Here’s a side by side of the original costume and the upgraded version. What a difference one year makes!

Never give up on your favorite characters, your favorite costumes, or yourself. 💜

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!

Actually got to edit this with Flash curled up at my side. ❤️ Has your pet made the sewing closet their hideout?

Today is #winxclub ‘s anniversary, so here’s the annual collage of all of my Winx cosplays. Happy 21 years to this magical fairy show! 🎉💖

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

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

Feeling cute. Might go save the school from closing down later. 💕

Happy u’s Monday!

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!

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! 🌟

Sumire’s chocolate of choice 🍫🪐 #galaxy #iykyk

New car sticker for Christmas lol 🔪

Here are all the new cosplays I wore in 2024! Also giving Sumire a shout since it was significantly upgraded this year.

Hanging by the fireplace before Santa starts making the rounds. It’s a toasty Christmas Eve for sure. How do you normally spend the day?

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.

Secured our hotel for @animeboston.bsky.social ! ✅

Happy #winxwednesday !

If only my flight to London would be as comfortable as this set was. ✈️ Can’t believe Christmas is next week already! 🎄

“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!

Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Tuxedo Sam, Badtz-Maru, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, and Keroppi playing in the snow

It's gotten so cold lately (˶>ᆺ<˶)

But at least I can enjoy the winter antics vicariously through these cuties =⩊=
