shirt - Blue Asphalt/Wet Seal

A friend of mine came over on this day, and we made lunch together.  Black bean croquettes (sorta), kale chips and corn flatbread—all vegetably and so delicious!! It was nice to chat over a meal with a friend.

Okay, and for the rest of today's update, have some new-old drawings!  Two more with the butterfly shirt (because I finally got around to taking a good look at it and colouring it in Photoshop) and two super-lazy (actually, I was just reallyreally busy with multiple project deadlines) outfits from the hot days of August. Enjoy!

what time is it?

dress - l.e.i/Taylor Swift (...isn't she a singer?)

Hmm, what's this pose about?  I think it's about being "time to get a new sketchbook!" because I drew it on the last (half-)page in my current sketchbook.  It could also be "time for spring to start! aaaaany minute now!" because I am eager and impatient for spring.  You might have noticed this by now.

primary dress

dress - Forever21

Hey, I just drew this yesterday!  (today is 23 March)  I made a note of what I'd worn, but I didn't actually draw it for a couple weeks, so by the time I got around to it I had no idea what kind of pose would suit that day, so I grabbed a volume of manga with lots of poses (Gals! volume 1) and found an interesting pose and drew it.  It was a fun exercise; I may do it more often when I get stumped...

extra layers

turquoise sweater - American Eagle
red sweater - Takeout
jeans - l.e.i
tights - from Younkers

A simple, warm double-sweater outfit.  (man, this is genius.  I need to find more warm-but-thin sweaters to layer...)  Plus knit tights under my jeans.  Mmm, cozy~

lovely lace

lacy top - energie, from Kohl's clearance rack
purple t - American Eagle
jeans - l.e.i, Kohl's—years old and I love them to pieces (really)

I got myself in lace mode with the blouse from the previous outfit.  And I realized I hadn't worn this shirt more than once or twice since buying it!!  Oops.  So, casual frilly day!  My dear grey jeans ripped a little more while I was wearing them, boo.  I may just have to put a patch on them.

grumpy girl

I woke up and realized I didn't care even a little bit what I wore, so I wore a sweater that I didn't care about.  I think this outfit is nice in theory—I like the colours together, the texture, etc, but it just made me grumpy all day wearing it.  The sleeves were loose and baggy and would get in my way.  The skirt had one of those hook-eyelet clasps above the zipper on the side, and it poked my skin and annoyed me.  Only my tabi socks and loved-to-pieces grey jeans could cheer me up.  Blerg. It might be time to move on from this sweater.

let's play!

Oh, this drawing happened so easily! That seems to be increasingly rare these days.

I help in my church's nursery every other week (on Wednesdays), and this was one of my nights.  I spent a good portion of the evening shielding myself with a giant stuffed (foam?) block as toddlers attacked me with more giant stuffed blocks.  One of the kids seemed to enjoy charging at me and then falling over dramatically as I pushed back lightly with my block.  I worked up a sweat battling the tiny people!
