the end!! (of a sketchbook)

lace shirt - Wet Seal/Blue Asphalt
corduroys - UnionBay

I drew this on the back of the last half-page in my sketchbook (it was a half-page because I tore out half of it on another occasion).  Facing the back cover of my sketchbook, covered in fruit and vegetable stickers and a weird drawing of a platypus, what was I to do if I couldn't acquire a new sketchbook soon?!  Oh, the horror!  (spellcheck, don't you tell me I spelled "couldn't" wrong.)

Well... you'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out what happened next.

sweater, skirt, tights - Old Navy
socks - SouSou

I was reading this article at AnimeNewsNetwork and the topic was Sailormoon.  Aww!!  It's a great article (and the House of 1000 Manga column in general is really fascinating), and it made me all nostalgic for my very first anime and manga series, so I pulled out my old copies and started browsing.  I used a pose from one of the first volumes for this drawing—with my pleated skirt, it worked out rather well!!

Relatedly, just the other day it was announced that Sailormoon will finally be rereleased here in English with a new translation.  I'm looking forward to it!!

soft and sparkling

sweater - So
scarf - handmade
skirt - Ann Taylor

I got a new skirt!  A couple, in fact.  Not that I needed them, but when we had our monthly get-together with the extended family, my awesome cousins had an impromptu mini clothing-exchange, and I got to join in (though I didn't have anything to offer)!

I'll have to be careful not to let this skirt get covered in Finny's fur.

Still got braids!!

options

shirt - Arizona (JCPenny)
green skirt - A. Byer
pink skirt - Wet Seal
socks - Sockdreams
barrette - dollar store

This is my dilemma.  I got lazy for a few days and didn't write down what I wore alongside the drawing, and then when I went back I had to figure it out based on the drawing and my memory.  It's usually not a problem because I've trained my brain to remember frivolous details like that, but when I got to this drawing I could not for the life of me remember what pair of tights I'd worn.  So I made three different versions—the yellow tights as you see here, the same outfit with pink tights, and with blue tights.  Now for your assignment: please write a five-paragraph essay and explain which you like best, OR which you think Lys was most likely to have actually worn, and why.
