On my last trip to Disneyland Paris I Disneybounded as Forky from Toy Story 4.
For those that don't know, Disneybounding is basically dressing as a Disney character but in normal clothes (adults aren't allowed to wear actual costumes). You put an outfit together which is inspired by a character. In the past I've been Mickey Mouse, Moana and many more. You can find pics over on my Disney Instagram account, kerrylouisenorrisdisney.
The Forky inspired outfit was fairly cheap to put together but it did require some creativeness.
My Forky ears were from Hannah Marie Magic who makes incredible ears. She has lots of designs on her website but she also does custom orders too. I wore them all day long, from early i the morning until late at night and they were super comfortable.
I bought a plain t-shirt and maxi skirt from Boohoo. I then bought iron on patches and a sash from Amazon.
The tee needed to be plain as I had to make Forky's face out of the iron on patches to stick on. I cut the shapes out and simply ironed them on which only took about 15 minutes in total.
The skirt was a good buy as I knew i'd wear it again. When I Disneybound, I try my hardest to use clothes that are reusable as other wise it can all cost a fortune.
I had such fun at Disneyland Paris running around pretended to be Forky, especially in Toy Story Land in Walt Disney Studios.

Last year I attempted Disneybounding for the first time and I loved it. To see some of my outfits, head over to my instagram account. This year I have quite a few Disney trips lined up so I am starting to look for inspiration for outfits. First up is a Pocahontas Disneybound.
Pocahontas's outfit is all about nudes with a splash of turquoise and with spring/summer fashion hitting shops soon, we should be spoilt for choice on that colour palette.
Bounding can become quite pricey so I try and find items that I would wear anyway and not just for dressing up.
The dress I've featured is from Nastygal which always has a great selection of clothes. Their website is reasonably priced with this dress coming in at £20. The dress would be a great buy for the year as it has a hint of utility about it which is set to be an upcoming trend.
The shoes are also from Nastygal and at the time of this post going live, they are in the sale. A wedge is a lot more comfortable to wear around Disney then any other kind of heels although it may be better to find some flats.
The necklace was kindly sent to me by Shoppe Minuette and it's perfect for this Disneybound. It definitely reflects the colours of the wind. It's handmade from acrylic and laser cut which makes it unique and it's sure to make the outfit pop.
The bag is from Forever 21. I think the fringe trim reflects the bottom of her outfit so it's a great match.
Last up are these Disney Princess feather earrings from Couture Kingdom. They are Pocahontas inspired and at the time of publishing, they are on sale.
You can read my other Disneybound posts below:
I'm going to feature bound posts throughout the year of me in actual outfits and also inspiration outfits. What characters would you like to see me do?
As you know, I love a Disneybound, you can read about my very first one which was a Mickey Mouse bound here, Mickey Mouse Disneybound. This year is The Nightmare Before Christmas' 25th anniversary so guess what I bounded as on Halloween? Yep the legend that is Jack Skellington.
I was kindly sent a couple of items from EMP for my bound. I received the 'Jack Cosplay' dress and the 'Jack Sally' leggings, which were perfect for a Nightmare Before Christmas Disneybound.
The dress is gorgeous and features a Jack embroidery on the Peter Pan style collar. It also has a triple layered skirt which makes it extra special. I chose to wear it with a long sleeved black top and just heels but you could pair it with the 'Jack Leggings' and the 'Jack Handbag' to really make the outfit stand out.
I was also sent the 'Jack Sally' leggings which I adored. They are literally amazing. They were very comfortable and super flattering. I wore it with a plain long sleeved top but you could wear it with the 'His Sally tee' and a bag for a full outfit.
I'll definitely be taking these with me to wear on my next trip to Disney. Have you seen any good pieces for a Nightmare Before Christmas Bound? Who's your favourite character from the film?

One thing I love about when we go to Disney is planning my outfits. I recently started Disneybounding and you can read about my very first Disneybound which was a Mickey Mouse inspired outfit here, Mickey Mouse Disneybound.
Our last trip to Disney was at the beginning of June. We only had 3 days there this time but that included the Fandaze event. I managed to wear 4 different outfits whilst we were there.
On our first day we had lunch at Auberge de Cendrillon which the girls thought was amazing. We had matching Alice in Wonderland dresses on, from the Disney X Cath Kidston range. They are perfect for summer months in Disney as they are quite thin. Lots of the cast members commented on them so my girls were extremely happy.
On our second day hubby and I wore our twinning Monster's Inc t-shirt's from Popcorn clothing. I am obsessed with them. They are great quality and wash well. I paired mine with customised ears from Hannah Marie Magic. If you follow me on Instagram then you'll know how much I adore Hannah's creations. The majority of my ear collection are from her shop.
In the evening it was the after hours Fandaze event. We decided to honour Moana so both of the girls wore their costumes and I did a Moana bound. My ears were again by Hannah Marie Magic and my top and shorts were from Primark. It was quite hot that day/eve so a Moana bound was ideal.
On our last day I wore an outfit which I bought in Disneyland Paris. It was from the Minnie Mouse fashion range. I'd bought the top and skirt earlier in the year and then managed to get the cardigan in June with 50% off plus my annual pass discount on top of that, so it ended up being an absolute bargain.
What was your favourite outfit out of the 4 I wore?

I regularly wear Disney clothes whether it be at a Disney park or at home but surprisingly I had never given Disneybounding a go. Now that i'm an annual pass holder at Disneyland Paris I knew it was time for me to join in with the dressing up fun.
As adults you aren't allowed to wear Disney costumes around the parks so Disneybounding was invented. Disneybounding is basically an outfit influenced by a Disney character. it's a great way of bringing your style into an outfit.
On our last trip to Disneyland Paris it was their 26th anniversary so I wanted to dress up as my all time favourite character.....Mickey Mouse. Princess Jasmine is a very close second but no character will ever beat Mickey in my eyes.
I searched the internet for Mickey coloured clothes and found a lot of my outfit from Next. I knew I wanted a black blazer (which I already had), a white shirt (which I already had), red trousers and yellow shoes. I also didn't want to buy anything that I knew I wouldn't wear again.
Next are always great for having fashionable basics in multiple colours. They had a couple of pairs of red jeans and also quite a few pairs of yellow shoes.
You can change up this Mickey Mouse Disneybound very easily by swapping the jeans to a skirt or shorts etc which would be ideal for the summer months.
I absolutely loved Disneybounding. I was worried at first that I would get lots of funny looks but it was quite the opposite. I had lots of lovely comments and the cast members all made an effort to compliment my outfit.
