merry Christmas day!

Christmas Eve is for wearing festive colours; Christmas Day is for wearing new things I got last night.  This sweater is gorgeous!!  I should've drawn a pose that showed the socks better, because they're great too, but I'm sure you'll see them again here :D

Also, just  for fun, a photo of the ensemble I wore outside to feed the birds at my parents' place, featuring my brother's much-too-big shoes that I pulled on.  Tee hee.

Hope you all had a great Christmas!!  It's New Year's Eve Day as I write this, so Happy New Year to you too!

merry Christmas eve!

Christmas Eve at last!  Reli-li-lief!!  I considered wearing this fitted turtleneck sweater under my green vneck but decided against it. This was a good thing, because I later realized I already did that combo last Christmas eve!

Even though we were sitting around most of the time at my aunt's, my feet were still sore after spending the night in heels. It's astonishing what one will do for cute looks. (but the shoes are so very very cute!)

stepping on roses

I went and coloured this one after all (really quickly, like in 10 minutes), because I liiiiike it.  I went back to helping out as a designer, and they put me to work cleaning the lower leaves and outer petals from the roses.  By the time I finished the job, I found myself standing in a crimson and green sea of rose petals and leaves.  So dramatic!

Also, one thing I appreciate about glasses is being able to tuck a flower between the frame and my head, just above my ear.  Flowers are nice accessories.

piratical

This is exciting, right!?  Look how awesome I am!!

In high school, or rather right after graduating high school, I went through a pirate phase (try and guess what year that was and what movie hit theaters that summer and it'll all make entirely too much sense).  But I suspect even before that I had a soft spot for them, as a fan of Peter Pan and his wonderful, exciting battles with Hook.  I asked my brother while wearing this outfit what he thought my theme was, and he was initially stumped.  Maybe the red-green christmas colour combo threw him off, but when I told him "I'm a pirate!" he said, "Oh yeah, Disney style with all the stripes."  I never really thought about Disney being the one to popularize stripes on pirates before... but they also seem to have established the "Alice is blonde and wears a blue dress" rule.  So apparently Disney's depiction of pirates have made lasting impressions on me.
