Modern Disney Princess: Merida

Hi everyone,

Here is another Disney princess for y'all!  Now unlike most other princesses, Merida isn't much of a girly-girl.  After all it wouldn't be an inconvenience for her to act super girly while using a bow and arrow like a pro.

I think I really stood true to the character when creating this look especially the formal look.

Modern Disney Princess: Rapunzel

Hi everyone,

Although Tangled is among one of the newer Disney movies (and probably not from your childhood), I know most of you have seen it.

Overall her look is very light and girly!
Although her gown is simple, I felt like I needed to keep some of the embroidery and of course the color that make it special.  I chose the shoes because of the detailing and embroidery.  If you notice in the pictures above her makeup is pretty minimalistic, so I chose nude shades and a brown eyeliner.  And of course I added a fancy hair comb.

Who should be next: Merida (Brave) or Jasmine (Aladdin)?

(Don't worry I'll eventually do both!)

Modern Disney Princess: Tiana

Hi guys,

We are getting close to the end of this series, as there are only a few Disney Princesses left.  If you are feeling nostalgic or just new to my blog head on over to the search bar (on the right underneath my blog banner) and enter "Modern Disney Princes" to see all of the outfit posts.  I know I started this post on a sad note but don't worry.  Since you guys loved this series so much (and I had fun making it) be on the look out for the switch from "Modern Disney Princess" to "Modern Disney Character"; that's right I will continue my Disney inspired outfit posts. :) So there will be more fun on the way.

Up next in the series is Tiana.  Tiana was added to the Disney princess family more recently than the princesses I have featured in the previous posts.  Tiana is one of the most hard-working Disney princesses... a girl with a dream.  You go girl!

Now, I realized that I  changed the formal look up quite a bit but I wanted to stay with the floral/nature vibe.

Modern Disney Princess: Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

Hi guys,

I'm really happy that you guys are enjoying the series!

Up next is Aurora.  I know many of you are probably going to get disappointed in me saying this, but Aurora was never really one of my favorite Disney princesses.  I'm not sure why but she was always just "okay" to me.  If any one agrees with me let me know in the comments (I'm probably in the minority).  Also if you disagree and want to tell me why she is your favorite Disney princess, please comment below.  (I love reading your comments!)  Regardless, I always thought that the name Aurora was a pretty cool name.

Here is Aurora in her casual attire... You know, when she was hiding out in the forest for most of her life...

Do you remember the whole pink/blue dress war in the movie?  I had to decide between the two for this look.  If you don't remember the whole dress war this should remind you.

I went for the pink dress because blue is already a pretty popular in the Disney princess world.

I have to admit I'm a fan of Aurora's A-line dress because it isn't too poofy, so I really wanted to keep that for the look.  I went for a jewel encrusted sweet heart neckline instead of a statement necklace.  I also included diamond earrings and a silver crown instead of the gold one she wears.

Isn't this look fitting of a prom queen? 

Modern Disney Princess:Mulan

Hi guys,

I owe you all another post in this series!  So this post is going to be about Mulan.  I always thought that compared to other Disney princess Mulan had one of the best casual outfits.  Unlike some of the other princesses Mulan's outfit changes many many times through out the movie. 
Here are some of her outfits:

Didn't think she had so many outfits did you? Me neither, well at least until I started writing this post.
Well since she had so many outfits I kind of went my own way when creating mine. :) 

I tried to stay true to the minimalistic cuts and flow-y fabrics.  I actually really like how this turned out.  For the first dress I wanted to have color-blocking, like Mulan has in most of her dresses.  For the second dress I wanted to use spring colors because I was inspired by the cherry trees from Mulan's beautiful garden.  The movie has great scenery!

Modern Disney Princess: Snow White

Hi guys,

It's time we focus on the first ever Disney Princess, *drum roll*..... Snow White.  Snow White was created in 1937.  FYI the second Disney Princess was Cinderella (1950) followed by Sleeping Beauty(1959).

And just because Snow White was the first Disney Princess, I'm going to include some movie posters:

 

Modern Disney Princess: Ariel

Hi guys,

I'm having tons of fun doing these posts and putting together these outfits.  I hope you like them!
Up next... Princess Ariel.

I realized that Ariel has a ton of outfits to chose from!  

I decided to go for something unexpected and modify the "rag dress" and make it formal.  I actually really like how it turned out.  :)

Who's next?

Modern Disney Princess: Pocahontas

Hi guys,

Shout out to Confassion who requested I do Pocahontas next!

Now Pocahontas is one of the more unique Disney princesses.  First off she was drawn completely different, (because she is of a different race than the previous princesses).  Second of all, her prince charming came to her.  Third, she has an athletic build.  Just look at those legs!

Since Pocahontas only wore one outfit in the movie I got to use my imagination.  I kept a blue statement necklace in both outfits because I felt it was crucial to the look.

Who should be next?

Modern Disney Princess: Cinderella

Hi guys,

Here is your next post in the series: Cinderella.  Cinderella had it rough growing up; her revenge, finding a way to make rags and an apron look cool and of course marrying a prince.  There is no doubt that Cinderella is one of the most famous if not the most famous Disney princess.

 Cinderella in rags... not too shabby.  Here is my take:

 

For the updated version I wanted to keep a bit of the sparkles but change up the length.  I also did away with the sleeves and gloves.  I really liked the choker and of course I had to keep the glass slipper. For the shoe I wanted to make it more modern but still keep the effect so I chose this shoe from Stuart Weitzman that features small pearls in front.

Who should be next?
