If you’re not familiar with the idea of Disney bounding, it’s actually a really cool fashion technique that you can use in your day to day life to bring a little Disney into your day! Â The concept is that you wear normal clothing that in some way resemble the look of a Disney character: for example, wearing a yellow skirt or pants with a blue top represents Snow White. Â You can also add fun accessories to add to it, like an apple necklace. Â Many people don’t realize you’re Disney bounding, but Disney fans may recognize who you are! Â It’s also a fun way to “dress up” when you visit the theme parks without actually wearing a costume.
I’ve been interested in trying a Disney Bound, so I headed to my closet to see what I might have available. Â I decided to go with an Ariel Disney Bound. Â I wore a green dress with a purple sweater to represent her colors. Â I also happened to have my Jamberry Mermaid Tales nails on which was perfect! Â Finally, I wore my pearl necklace since I always associate pearls with the ocean.
I also put together a graphic to represent this look as closely as possible. Â It’s not the same dress or sweater (both are from a couple of years ago), but they are very similar. Â My dress is from ModCloth and this one is as well.
I was able to wear this outfit both to work and to my play rehearsal that evening. Â No one at work noticed anything, but then at rehearsal one of the girls looked at me and said, “You know, your outfit looks just like Ariel!” Â I was excited that she recognized it and told her that was exactly what I was going for.
What do you think of the idea of Disney Bounding? Â What character should I tackle next?
you DID see the Jamberry Disney Princess ones!!! Epic, I love that. Such a cute outfit. Perfect for getting your Ariel on!
Thank you – I had a lot of fun trying to come up with a good Ariel outfit!
This is a fun cute idea! I’ve never heard of it before but now I want to be on the look out to see if I can guess haha
Haha definitely if you take a trip to Disney look around, I’m sure you’ll find a few!
Love the dress- perfect colour for this time of year- very good for christmas parties and NYE. Great post- keep up the good work!

Oooo I love this Ariel look! She’s my favorite Disney princess. What a practical way to be Ariel for a day! 🙂

Cute outfit! And I’m pretty sure I have the same cardigan. 🙂
Thanks! It’s a good cardigan, I really like it 😉
We just got back from Disney and I wish I had seen this before we went! I could have Disney Bounded my way through the parks!
Yeah, it’s super fun at the parks – maybe if you go again!
I love the look! And I love that DisneyBounding can be as subtle as you want it to be (or don’t want it to be, haha) so it can be worn on any given day! 🙂
I love that too – I can wear Disney to work and people don’t even realize it!
What an ADORABLE outfit!!! <3 I love the inspiration!
I’ve never heard of this! And I need it in my life ASAP. Thanks for sharing. I’m curious what character will you be for Halloween??
Disney Bounding is so fun! And I’m planning a Rapunzel costume for Halloween – we mostly need to work on my husband’s Flynn Rider costume before Saturday!
Super fun outfit for Ariel! She’s my fave princess 🙂
Thank you! She was so fun to create an outfit for!
I love your outfit! Catching up on some of your older posts. As always, you are adorable!
