pinky purples

sweater dress - Wet Seal

I put my hair in a braid, and it looked very nice for about 30 seconds.  But then strands started coming out everywhere and it was a mess.  Arg.  My hair is at that in-between point where it's not quite long and not exactly short.  At least it can usually decide whether it's going to be curly or straight from one day to the next... (tee hee).

white day

dress - Forever21

This is the outfit I came up with for White Day (the Japanese follow up to Valentine's Day).  Now I'm thinking it's not particularly white, but you know how I am—I need to have colour and pattern and all that good stuff.  I like this sundress, but at some point I need to get around to shortening up the shoulder straps.

It's March!  Happy March!  March means it might could maybe possibly be spring soon!  But as you see, I'm still wearing double layers of sweaters...  Soon!  Soon we will have sunny skies and flowers once more!!

Also, I lied, my hair will still be partially in braids for a few more days.

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...

chase the cat!!!!!!

My cat and I have this game we play in the evenings, anytime from around 6pm to midnight.  It's called "Chase the cat out of my room and halfway down the stairs, then go sit down and wait for him to come tearing into my room and crashing into the mirror or plant stand, then chase him again."  He seems to enjoy it, so I try to be accommodating, but sometimes he wants to play this game when I'm in work mode and it's very distracting.  The best part for me is the way his eyes get huge and black and ferocious-looking.  Such a cat!

princess of legend

I leave you with one more for now! We had a lovely night out with a few of the high school girls from church, decorating Christmas ornaments and snacking and chatting.  My friend had made the pink rhinestone-dotted ornament as a sample, and sent it home with me at the end of the night with instructions that I must feature it in the day's post. But of course!  Such a lovely bubblegum-pink, bejeweled spectacle must be shared with the world!!  It now has a place on my cute tree (as seen here if you can spot it). Next year I'll give it a more central spot of honour.

I decorated my hair before the event with some curly silver ribbon I had salvaged from a pile of torn giftwrap last Christmas. It was the perfect use!

Oh, one more story behind the mismatched socks. I usually match mine, but earlier in the evening I'd stepped on our stairs funny and got the back of my heel scraped up a bit by a nail.  It hurt, but I didn't notice anything more till later, when I looked at the heel and noticed the dark red stripe was just a little bit darker in an area—blooood!! (yet it hadn't spread to any other stripes, just that dark one.) I had to wash out the knit tights and leave the house with a wet, alternate-socked foot.

diamonds and dots

My head is swimming with colours right now, as I just did some more catching up and coloured a few older drawings, which you can see h-e-r-e-! (or just check out late June and early July dates).

Now I kind of want to take a nap like in this drawing!
