I’ve written here before about how fashion and Disney can go hand in hand, but I don’t think I’ve ever broached the subject of Disneybounding.
Yes, you read that correctly. Disneybound is an actual term. What exactly does it mean to “Disneybound” you ask? Well, Disneybounding is creating looks, outside of cosplay and costuming, with your own wardrobe (or something you thrifted or bought) to create a look that represents your favorite Disney character. This idea was created a few years ago by a creative, funky soul named Leslie Kay. Check out her site if you want to know more of her story!
It’s so easy, anyone can do it (seriously, not just using that as a cheesy catchphrase). What I love about creating Disneybound looks is that I don’t have to purchase expensive pieces to make it happen.
Disneybound ExamplesThis Anger from “Inside Out” Disneybound is just khakis and a white shirt with some red accessories. Not too difficult, right?
Check out this beautiful Kevin the Bird Disneybound (remember him from “Up”)! I love that you can Disneybound with whatever you have on hand, even if all you have is your swimsuit and coverup!
Think Basic and Simple
Sometimes, I wind up doing an unintentional Disneybound like I did 2 years ago on our family vacation to Walt Disney World.
Showing Your Disney Love at Home
Today I want to celebrate the opening of “Finding Dory” with my Disneybound look. I was inspired by two of the main characters, Nemo and Dory, and chose to stick to their main colors when deciding where to go with my look.

Sandals: Target

For Dory, her iconic colors are obviously blue and yellow, and I knew just what to pull out of the closet to bring this look together.
