Had such a fun time cosplaying one of my all time favorite characters, still feels like a dream 💜 I’ve heard people say that cosplay is “a love letter to a character” and this is truly my love letter to my QUEEN. I’ve been obsessed with Temari (+ ShikaTema) since I was 13 years old and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would cosplay her. As I was going through the photos that we took I ended up in tears, it felt surreal to see myself as my all time favorite female character. My friend also ended up cosplaying Hinata and as we were going around taking pictures through this beautiful location, it felt like we were truly them spending time together. It was a day I’ll never forget!

Okay going to be so for real right now, I'm super nervous about posting these. I love this cosplay a lot and I'm working to make it as nice/accurate as possible, but I know I'm not exactly as lore accurate looking as I would like to be. It makes it hard for me to post confidently. However, I think it's past time for me to bite the bullet and just post it. I'm not going to get any better by keeping it to myself.
If anyone has any criticisms or advice they'd like to offer, please do! I want to make this the best it can possibly be. The whole costume was hand stitched and lovingly crafted by one of my best friends, so anything I can get as an excuse to pay her more for her work would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all of the love and support I've received recently, it means a lot to me!! I hope I can continue to create content that others enjoy!
