Cinnamoroll-ing Down the Hill

I’ll tell you a secret… I wasn’t always a Hello Kitty Fan *gaspshockhorror*. I went through a phase where I was pretty tired of it because of just how popular Hello Kitty was and I wanted to be “original” (ew) and so I turned my attention to another super cute character – Cinnamoroll. I was still in Sixth Form/college (so high school, for my American readers!) when I fell in love with this lil’ puppy, and so wearing this Cinnamoroll inspired outfit really brought back sweet memories!

Who – or what – is Cinnamoroll?

Cinnamoroll is a cute puppy character from the world of Sanrio (the company who also created Hello Kitty). He’s got long ears, big blue eyes, and a curly tail that’s in the shape of a cinnamon roll! His owner owns a cafe and the smell of her cinnamon rolls attracted the curious little puppy, so she decided to take it in and call him Cinnamoroll.

About the Cinnamoroll-inspired outfit

When I first decided that I wanted to dress up as Cinnamoroll I was just going to settle with a blouse and a pair of shorts, but then I remembered this Liz Lisa dress I had (which I was actually close to selling!) and even though it was blistering hot, I still wanted to wear it. But because of the heat I knew I wanted to keep my hair up, and tried a new hairstyle with multiple ribbons going down my hair. It was super quick and easy to do and although this overall look might not be classed as gyaru, I loved it. It was perfect for dressing up like Cinnamoroll and looked like his cute floppy ears! I love adding subtle references, and had a small Cinnamoroll charm hanging off my bag.

I can’t wait to do some more themed outfits on the other Sanrio characters! Which one is your favourite character? Let me know in the comments below!

Love,
