improv neapolitan

earrings - WAR Chest
sweater - Aéropostale
lace shirt - f21
skirt - Fresh Brewed (Younkers)
brown shoe - Airwalk

We had an improv event thingy at my church!  I was expecting that this would be an improv troupe(?) performing, with some audience participation here and there, but it ended up being the two improv-people giving prompts and all of us were the performers.  Eek!! They got me to participate in one skit (though I did not actually pose dramatically like this).  I got to play the part of a third grader visiting the Grand Canyon!

The outfit theme—can you guess it?  It's neapolitan ice cream!  Or neapolitan candy.  Ooh, I remember in elementary school we did a unit on Space and Astronauts and stuff, and I got to taste some freeze-dried(?) neapolitan ice cream(???).  It was pretty radical to me, and that's still the first thing that comes to mind when I think "neapolitan."  I wonder if they sell that stuff somewhere...

sailor scavenger

dress - Bodyline
tights - f21
shoes - American Eagle (Payless)

Noooooo I forgot to colour the tail of the bow in the back of the dress!  Oh well, moving on.

This day I spent mostly in pajamas, working on work.  Then around, I dunno, 4 or 5pm I decided I should get dressed because we were going to my parents' for dinner.  And after spending all day feeling like a bum in pjs, I needed a drastic change!  So I dressed up in frills.  Man, tons of frills, as I realized while drawing the outfit later.  I still had time to get work done, so I loaded up the convenient heart-pockets on the dress with dried pineapple and pecans and set back to work.  (yes, my eating habits tend toward scavenging most days.)

I've had a slightly odd fascination with sailor outfits for a while now.  My cousin and I have an ongoing joke about dressing our future-someday children in snappy little Victorianesque sailor suits.  Ooh, the precious-ness!  Until such time as I have a child to dress up, I guess I have to make do with dressing up myself.  Therefore, this dress is awesome :D

grey knit love

Grey is my favourite non-colour.  It's so much more interesting than white or black!  Warm greys are especially nice.  Knit fabric (like soft tshirt material) is also nice.  When I was little, I had a grey dress of knit material with a pink flower print, and I loved it to bits (not literally).  It was warm and cozy, and when I spun around wearing it, it twirled up fabulously.  This dress reminds me of it a little!
