jellyfish fluttering

I felt like a jellyfish in this.  A cute, pink, ruffly jellyfish.  Every time I went down the stairs the edges of the skirt kinda fluttered and poofed.  It was fun :D

Look!  I'm doing soooo good at updating regularly, huh?  Huh?  Praise me!  Well, but I'm still two and a half weeks behind.  Anyway!  This update has more updates attached!  I scanned the dress pattern and finished off some other drawings with it.  It's a brown-paisley-dress-extravaganza!

I had a headache when I drew this.  I think it was from drinking soda.  My body isn't used to all those chemicals and high fructose corn syrup!  Danger, danger!!

Fluffy dress fluffy dress!!  This was another  recent purchase (along with the blue print dress a few days back).  It is my favourite ever—it's got such a nice full skirt and a cute rose print!  I think if I did this colour combo again I'd switch it around, with dark tights and a brighter top.

merry day after Christmas!

So I had a lovely Christmas.  The next day I went to my parents' place again after church because mum was making hash browns!!  Mm, delicious warm potato-food.  Well, while I was there my dad discovered a forgotten Christmas gift in his sock drawer.  It was... a digital camera!!  A super adorable turquiose coloured one, just for me!  So now I can take pictures of all sorts of cute and wonderful things, like Finny fallen asleep with the yarn I'm knitting, or my mini Christmas tree as you saw a couple posts back.  Thanks, mum and dad!!

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!)

material fascination

So I went to the fabric store.  It turned into a both wonderful and torturous experience, as I found myself surrounded by countless lovely colours and patterns and all manner of prettiness... but I couldn't exactly take every pretty thing I saw back home with me.  I didn't even have a very good idea of what I might do with most of the pretty I found—I've done a little sewing in the past, but I'm easily distracted and never stick with things.  And yet!  The pretty!!  Cute, classic floral prints; Japanesque novelties; batik; colourful retro designs!!  Ooooh!

Eventually I got what I needed and narrowed down my choices of what I wanted (the designs up above were all purchased as fat quarters, so whatever I make of them will have to be fairly small.  but on the other hand, they were super cheap!) and managed to tear myself away from the place.  But I want to go back again... 

So if anyone has ideas for small fabric projects I could make of these, please share them!

winter seashell

Please excuse the strange pose, a direct result of the previous day's pose taking up more than its fair share of the page.  This outfit's theme(?) was pink, for the third week of Advent.  I decided that turquoise, like yellow, (and green, brown, and purple,) looks great paired with pink!

improvised lace

For various reasons, I ended up sleeping over at my parents'. I hadn't planned on this, so I only had yesterday's outfit and one recently-laundered lace shirt to throw in the mix! Oh no! Same is boring, so I did my best! to make up something new. Mum generously shared her belt with me, and it turns out I liked it so much she let me keep it and I wore it again for the next two days.

Wearing a scarf around my head turned out to be really cozy.  I'm considering adopting a 50s(?) movie star look, except I don't really like wearing sunglasses...

bossy princess

Oh, oh!  An excuse to dress up!  My littlest brother's birthday was Sunday but he was headed back to school that day, so we all got together Saturday night and had Chinese food.  I ordered Princess Chicken!  It's a good thing that dish is so delicious (despite all the green peppers, which I eat first to get rid of), because I can never resist it when I see that name.

(meep... just barely fit everything in the tags field)

elegance

I had to start a new layer in Photoshop for nearly every item of clothing in this outfit, what with all the sheer layered items.  Gotta keep it exciting!

interpretive mermaid

Eheheh. And what happens when you eat candy and cookies and a caramel apple and stay up late? Sugar-zombie-death the next day, that's what. Let this be a lesson to you all. I'm sorry, mum. You taught me better than this!!

(but it was totally deliciously worth it... :D)

For actual-halloween, I didn't dress up too outrageously. I had a super cool idea, but Halloween fell on a Sunday and it would've been weird to wear to church. And I didn't have any plans for after church (beyond eating something vaguely healthy and taking a nap), so wearing it around the house by myself would've been a waste. So I'll have to save it for next year... or another time when I get the urge to dress up fabulously.

shoes that sparkle

These shoes!! The shoes!!!!  They are amazing, fabulous, glittery sparkly magical high-top shoes. I found them at AJ Wright in the clearance section (never been in that store before, probably never will again...) and my first reaction was something like shock, disbelief, and a twinge of horror at the ridiculous shoes before me. But seconds later I'd fallen in love with the sparkle and bling and couldn't put them down. I think it was fate. (even though they're a size too big. but they lace up tight so it's okay!) Sooooooo awesome shoes!!!! I don't think this drawing does them justice.  But they are fantastic.

By the way! I added some more posts for past months—it may or may not be obvious, but I started this blog about a week and a half ago, and I've been filling in past daily fashions as I get them coloured.  I've been keeping a fashion journal sketchbook since mid-May, but most of the drawings were not originally coloured until recently.  So it's a work in progress.  Anyway, these posts are new:
