Partially due to the fact of toying with the idea and partially due to the fact that I found the bottoms at a garage sale for cheep this cosplay came into existence. ^^;

I had the white top from another swimsuit and I paired it with the black bottoms. I liked them together especially because of the black embroidery on the top tied the top & bottoms together.

I added her earrings (that were previously made for my FF7 Tifa cosplay) and some silver bracelets I had lying around (the original ones from the FF7 cosplay wouldn't have worked for the beach) XD

Tho when I showed it to my boyfriend and another of our friends they suggested the suspenders and belt to complete the look. And it worked! \^_^/

I also had a purple beach ball that we joked was a giant "Independent Materia" XD
