This was also one of those costumes I had wanted to do since middle school. I remember seeing the winter angel illustration in an artbook and really wanting to cosplay Hikaru's outfit.

I thrifted the top half of this costume; it's just a white hoodie and a cream sweater. I added the pompoms to the hoodie drawstring. I bought a pair of white wings on Amazon, and it was sheer coincidence that the ties for the wings are the same color as the sweater. Lucky!! The skirt is a standard knife-pleated skirt that I made without a pattern. (I'm pretty comfortable making pleated skirts by this point.) I already had the white socks, and I bought a white scrunchie and the shoes. All in all, pretty simple, and great for winter! One day I'd love to actually get photos in the snow...
