for tiz

jacket - So... (Kohl's)
star tshirt - Arizona (JCPenny)
shorts - l.e.i (Younkers)
leggings - Say What?

This outfit, hmm.  My inspiration was a '90s scifi shoujo manga I'd read the day before.  Does it show?  Maybe not the argyle socks so much.  Anyway, the manga was Jyu-Oh-Sei, and it was really fantastic.  Great characters, lovely art, story that kept me hooked.  Check it out if you're interested!!  As for me, now I'm craving more shoujo scifi...

lys-de-lys

jacket - So (Kohl's)
skirt - YesStyle
tights - JC Penny
socks - Sockdreams
red earrings - f21

Fleur-de-lys socks!  That is all.

(I forgot to finish a part of this drawing too.  Darn it...)

uselessly cute jacket

Back to yellow and purple! And layers.  That jacket always makes me feel cold, despite its long sleeves, and despite "keeping you warm" being the basic purpose of jackets. I used a pair of legwarmers as insulation.

winter patterns

So many patterns!  I love that about winter—I start piling on the layers and end up with a combination of all kinds of things I never would've thought to put together.  Makes me feel warm and happy!

Being a pattern-lover, of course I am also quite fond of ties.  I can't get enough of the paisley and the intricate designs and fancy colours!!  They're too delicious.  I am slowly building up a necktie collection from relatives who don't wear theirs and department store clearance/sale shelves.  I have been told thrift stores are another good source for ties, but I never remember to look when I am at one.
