Hey !
This is the second version of my Fashion & Gaming post, if you want to check out the first one Click Here !
I already explained in my first post what was the idea behind this concept, but to summarize, I wanted to bring together two of my favourite hobbies : fashion, and video games, making some outfits inspired from video game characters with Polyvore.
I decided to make a series out of it, since video games are honestly such a source of inspiration ! And the second game I’ve been playing a lot lately is the very famous World of Warcraft.
(for those who might be interested, i’m on the Hyjal server and my character is Vhenoma)
The firs character I decided to inspire myself from is Tyrande.
She’s a moon priestess and a nature lover ? :
The second one is Jaina.
I had a hard time trying to make an outfit out of her, I’m not sure why ! But to make it easier I decided to bright up her color palette a bit.
She’s a mage, and can make sparkles and ice balls appear out of nowhere ! ✨☄️
And finally the third one, is Ysera.
It was tricky, because she has a humanoid form but also a dragon form, so I tried to bring both appearances in one outfit. She’s a guardian of nature, but also a sleepy dragon ??

Polyvore is so much fun, and a very creative place ! Tell me if you enjoyed this post ?
What did you think of those outfits ?
The Stylish Dreamer says
This is so cool!! I love all of the outfits,you are so creative! ??
Oriana says
Thank you girl ! ? I try to be ?
Traci York says
LOVE this idea! You definitely did Jaina proud! 😀
Oriana says
Thank you again Traci ! ? I hope so, she was really hard to adapt, I was afraid she wouldn’t be recognizable ! ?
Cheila says
I’m in love with all of the shoes!! I’m such a shoe person. Shit, I’ve just realized I have forgotten you in my favorites post. You’re definitely one of my top favorites. Need to correct that. Sorry, Ori.
Oriana says
I’m a shoe person too ! How many pairs do you have ? ?Don’t you worry dear I already knew ? you have such a beautiful brain but you only have one ! Don’t push yourself too much ?
Cheila says
Not many now. Since I have a house of my own I’ve had to divide my attention and spending with house stuff. Also, Rui is here to help me control my urges. I’ve had up to 30 something but now I don’t buy so many and am always getting rid of some. I’m looking right at them so… Shoot 21. I thought I had less. I’m counting all of them. Booties, ballerinas, sneakers, flip flops, etc.
Cheila says
I’m so happy you already knew you’re one of my favorites!! Please never forget
Oriana says
You already told me girl ! You’re one of my favorites too ☺️? About shoes, I have around 40 in my flat, and 20 something stayed at my moms house… but in my late teen days I had ~80 pairs ! It was ridiculous haha, as you I had to adapt to the new place and threw some out ! ?
Cheila says
Oh my, I’m not buying anything now because I barely leave the house and when I do I have enough for that. Maybe I’ll treat myself to some pairs when I go back to work 🙂
kittyp0p says
What a neat idea! Could the next one be Skyrim? (: worth a shot haha
Oriana says
Thank you Kitty ! ? The thing is I’ve never played Skyrim (what a shame). But I’ll try to make some outfits and see how they turn out ! ?
kittyp0p says
I had never played any video games before (besides the basic Mario, Crash, Spyro kind of stuff) when my boyfriend introduced me to it. I haven’t played in a while cause we’ve been so busy, but I’m almost level 50 which is pretty far. It’s a gorgeous game and it’s really fun- it’s so open world and there’s so much to do, that it’s very hard to get bored of (:
Oriana says
You don’t need to convince me haha, I’ve been dying to try it ! ? But I just dont have the time right now. Online games like wow are easy to play for an hour or less, but the huge lore rpgs are another thing ! I don’t know if you heard about The Witcher, but it’s the same I bought it and I don’t have the time to play ?
Ritu says
I’m not a gamer but love the outfits!
Oriana says
Thank you Ritu ! ?
thoughtsfromjasmine says
I love this! I’m not a gamer but I think that this is such an original idea for a post/series! The outfits were beautiful, and may forward this to my younger sister who’s a cosplay lover!
Jas xx
Oriana says
Thank you Jasmine ! I like to think of those as “cosplay in disguise”, she might like it ! ?
thebeasley says
Really good post & gorgeous outfits x
Oriana says
Thank you ! ??
writsomniac says
Cool idea, I’m the same with TV shows and music videos!:-) All the outfits are creatively put together and I really like the accessories too.
Oriana says
Thank you ! ? That’s so cool too ! I love when I can dress as my favourite characters ?
hotmessmemoir says
The Dragon one is my favorite. What a unique form of inspiration! Well done!!!
Oriana says
Thank you so much ! ??
stashy says
I’m not familiar with World of Warcraft but what a fun idea! I would totally rock the Tyrande outfit you chose!
Oriana says
Thank you, I’m very glad you like those outfits even though you don’t know the game ! ??
Li Fontrodona says
Hi 🙂 After reading this post days ago, I went to Polyvore -where I’m as well-, found you there and left you some likes and one message. I guess you have not read it (I know I’m a bit of a weirdo, especially there, on Polyvore, but I don’t think this fact have refrained you to answer me… Or so I hope 🙂 Hugs!
Oriana says
Thank you very much ! I don’t go that often on polyvore, only when I want to make something. I’ll go check out your message ! And don’t worry, everyone is someone else’s weirdo anyway ?
Li Fontrodona says
🙂 Yes. The issue arises when one is (almost) everyone else’s weirdo. Hahaha!!
Oriana says
In that case my philosophy is to say : who cares ! If everyone already thinks you’re a weirdo, then you’re free to be yourself ?
Li Fontrodona says
So I try 🙂 … In fact, not many people can do me harm with their thoughts and opinions without my consentment. But still there are some who can . Thanks for your answer 🙂 ✨ ?
