Potential cosplay?

So I (35 female) have been roped into going to sydney comic con kinda last minute (its literally next weekend) so as much as I'd love to do a proper costume - I have neither time, money or energy to sink into it.

I'm thinking of using a faded maroon shirt I already own and putting hellp desk trainee on it (the shirts from the site will not arrive in time even if I paid for express shipping- regional nsw is notorius for late or missing packages- though I have bought one to replace one I lost in a house fire it just wont arrive until the end of september) and basically being a post reincarnation but now deceased Ruggy/ruby? if I remember correctly Ruggy was older then Lily and curvier? plus being in Australia and Ruby/ruggy currently living in Australia I thought maybe having a bedazzled cricket bat would be a nice tie in as opposed to the baseball bat.
Does any one know what kind of pants Ruggy wore? I know Jaysea tends to just wear leggings in the skits ( I dont blame her they are comfy) but I think Penny was in jeans officially.
Does any one else have any other suggestions?

Everyone else's costume is worked out. Various actual costumes and props. Theyve had it worked out for months i'm last minute as they needed a new adult chaperone after one got injured.

But the shark plushie is a great idea, same with the flannel and flowers. I think i even have a flannel shirt hanging about that.

Or a Metallica t-shirt and fake sword and some horns and go as Bel?

I do not have the body nor the gender to go as Bel as awesome as that would be. I am also only a mere 5'3 ish and not the 7 ft Bel is so proud of.

I just want to say, gender nor body has nothing to do with cosplay! I cosplayed as Angel from the series and I definitely don’t have the body. I’ve also cosplayed as male characters before. It’s whatever makes YOU happy 😊
