Pairing Costumes Novels & Stories

Zane was standing at the bottom of the staircase, and he was looking up at her, and his expression when he saw her was the specific expression of someone who has been pleasantly surprised before they’ve had time to prepare not to show it. He raised one finger. Perfect. Lilly stepped down to meet him. And then she saw it — his costume. The same colors as hers. Black and gold, a crown worked into the design somewhere, the unmistakable visual language of a king bee to her queen.

Now it looked exactly like a deep copper-red. She’d cut it too, shorter at first, but it had grown out just enough that the length and the shade both looked unnervingly close to mine. Even her outfit—an oversized cardigan over a simple dress, the kind of thing I actually owned—looked like it had been pulled directly from my own closet. “That’s not a coincidence anymore,” Ari muttered, following my gaze. “That is a full costume.” “Maybe she just likes the color,” I said, even though I didn’t believe it the moment the words left my mouth.

I still just hoped for nothing to go wrong. We were in the dorms getting ready. My costume was a baby pink coat with matching trousers and a white T-shirt with a pair of sneakers, as I was a host as well. Later in the programme I was going to change into a puffy net grey coloured mid length skirt with a black button front crop Cami top. I didn’t really care about the skirt but the top was heavenly. It would make a splendid outfit when paired with my brown jeans and boots. But well on a whole, both of my outfits were just gorgeous. My makeup was done and I was looking for my hairpin and also at myself in the mirror (yes, I couldn’t stop, I looked really good) when I heard a knock on the door.

I needed to find a perfect costume with matching earrings. I wore a dark blue dress on my first day. Blue is my lucky color and my favorite color. The dress reached a few inches above my knees and was located with cute little flowers. The neck was V-shaped, and the sleeves reached up to my elbows. Nancy brought me so many matching accessories during the shopping. So I also put on matching colored butterfly earrings which looked so cute. I tied my hair in a ponytail and applied nude makeup. I looked up in the mirror and praised myself. Yeah, I do look so cute in my outfit. I thanked Nancy for buying me half of my outfits.
