Hiya from my vacation! I'm staying in a little mountain town in northeastern Oregon for the week.  And yes, I will be posting about the trip on the blog.  I tried kayaking for the first time today and cannot wait to talk about it!

As you know, I am a Her Universe Ambassador, which means I occasionally receive an item from a new Her Universe collection so that I can share it with you hear on the blog.  I was so excited when I heard about The Lord of the Rings collection, and even more thrilled that I was able to participate.

The Frodo Cosplay Elven Cloak inspired a cute outfit ready for adventure and an enjoyable photoshoot in the woods near my house!

I am wearing The Lord of the Rings Frodo Cosplay Elven Cloak in size 2x/3x.  There is, of course, plenty of room since it is a full cape.  The deep green color is absolutely gorgeous, with a crossover button closure and a large hood.  I'm a sucker for embroidery, so the Leaves of Lorien embroidery calls to me!

The cape is lined in a fabric that features the One Ring, Sting, and leaves.

I was SO EXCITED to receive this piece and couldn't wait to put together a Hobbit look.  I recently met Elijah Wood and Sean Astin while dressed like a Hobbit lady.  For this look, I decided to do a take on a male Hobbit's outfit with some items from my closet, including the embroidered vest from this same collection (that I ordered for myself).

By some chance of fate, these pants found their way to me.  They are linen-like trouser-style pants that I wouldn't normally own, but I am so grateful I had them for this cosplay fun!  They wrinkle quite easily and are a little long in the crotch for me, depending on how I move.  As a size 24, I would say they are more generously cut, with an elasticized waist so they just pull on.

I found the button-down shirt recently at Target and thought it would be an excellent breezy addition to my closet.  I love the colored stripes and texture of the fabric.  I bought it in a 4X so that it would be oversized for the way I intended to wear it.  I have plenty of room, though the cut looks a bit boxy on me, but the upper arm area is a great fit.  At only $25, this top was a great deal for the look and feel of it!

I topped the look with The Lord of the Rings Embroidered Girls Button-Up Vest.  I purchased the 4X.  I think it is cut for more of a larger bust/small waist figure, which is not me.  It's a little snug at my tummy and, seeing as how it is also cropped, tends to ride up as I move around.  The bust is also a little large, though I am happy for the extra room to layer the vest over other things.  It's cute, but not a perfect fit.  I'm still glad I bought it.
