Inspired by Grunty from Banjo Kazooie

I put a night club spin on Grunty’s witch-like ensemble, adding pops of color against a black backdrop.

Style Tip: Combine neon colors in small portions with a monochromatic outfit for a look that’s edgy, modern, and fun.

1. Sleek black jewelry add a modern look to the outfit. // Cuff: Mango - Metal Wide Cuff, $25 / Bracelet: Target - Cara Rhodium Stud Bracelet, $15 / Earrings: Aldo - Kirstin Earrings, $10

2. This black dress features some sheer panels, giving it a sexy, modern look. // Dress: Topshop - Suzie Dress, $90

3. This neon patent clutch adds a similar green to Grunty’s skin color. // Bag: Forever 21 - Quilted Pantent Crossbody, $20

4. Mimicking Grunty’s bright scarf, these hot pink shoes actually compliment the neon green and add a playful mood to the outfit. // Shoes: Heels - Veda Soul Pink Lisa, $60

Inspired by the Vault 101 Jumpsuit from Fallout 3

This is a remake of an older C2C outfit. I wanted to bring in different accessories and make this outfit a little more accessible to everyone since yellow can be an intimidating color to wear.

Style Tip: Tone down a pop of color by pairing it with lots of neutrals and textures. In this case, the denim dress actually becomes a neutral when paired with the yellow bag.

1. The best way to convey the jumpsuit, besides actually wearing one, is to rock a dress. This denim summer dress brings that retro flair that Fallout is known for. // Dress: Boohoo - Emma Denim Button Front Skater Dress, $50

2. I chose retro, yet industrial, looking accessories for this outfit to really drive home the culture of the vault. // Earrings: Boticca - Double Winding Wheel Earrings, $159 / Bracelet: Lucky Brand - Tribal Hinge Cuff, $100 / Belt: Nordstrom - Fossil Macrame Stretch Belt, $40

3. This ladylike purse adds a pop of yellow to the outfit, replicating the jumpsuit’s golden accents. // Purse: Modcloth - Juice Run Bag, $189

4. Classic wedges bring this outfit into modern day and are a comfortable alternative to flats or heels for the summer. // Wedges: Couture Candy - Stella Wedges, $88

HOLY CRAP! I’m freaking out over here! C2C reached 100,000 Tumblr followers like 5 minutes ago! I can’t believe it :D

I’m going to put together a big thank you video tomorrow (when I’m not in PJ’s from playing Animal Crossing), but here’s a thank you anyways!

I’m so lucky that C2C has such a great group of readers that are just as into fashion and gaming as I am. Thank you for being awesome.

Inspired by Tom Nook from Animal Crossing

I wanted to capture the quirkiness of Animal Crossing in this outfit so I layered unconventional pieces, but in neutral colors. This outfit is perfect for weekends or a casual hangout.

Style Tip: Ground quirky prints with neutral layers for a look that’s unique and put together.

1. I found this adorable raccoon printed tee that reminded me of Tom since he’s a raccoon! I chose a denim shirt to layer over it to bring in some blue to the outfit like Tom’s apron. // Top: Monki - Katy Tee, $14 / Button Up: Mango - Tencel Denim Shirt, $50 / Shorts: Uniqlo - Women’s Chino Shorts, $20

2. These leaf earrings remind me of the art style of the game and the constant references to nature. // Earrings: ModCloth - I Be-Leaf So, $10

3. This wood watch adds a sense of whimsy to the outfit and brings in a neutral palette. // Watch: Betsey Johnson - Brown Polish Watch, $135 / Belt: Dorothy Perkins - Tan Moon Buckle Belt, $10 / Bag: Asos - Aldo Bendix Cross Body Bag, $58

4. I found leopard print boat shoes as a nod to some of the more quirky neighbors you come across in Animal Crossing. // Shoes: Sperry Top Slider Angelfish Shoe, $40

I get so many requests, a lot of them end up falling through the cracks of the internetz, so I decided that I’m going to put together a MEGA request list for future outfits.

What video game characters would you like to see turned into outfits?
