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

sorta split complements

cami - American Eagle
tshirt - Mossimo (Target)
scarf - self-knit
skirt - Weathervane
tights - JC Penny
shoes - Apple Bottom
earrings - Forever21

Colour-theory outfit day!  This is split complementary (which is when you take two complements, say red and green, and then choose the colours directly adjacent on the colour wheel to one of them—so  redviolet, redorange, and green), mostly, although the cami might go a little too far into purple.  But theory is just theory; what matters is that it looks good, right?

So that's today's art/colour lesson.  As someone who could spend hours organizing giant Crayola boxes of crayons into perfect rainbow order and still has memories of the day she learned the colour wheel in an elementary school art class, I love this topic and its practical application (or was that already obvious?).  I hope you enjoyed it too!!

work casualty

skirt - YesStyle | socks - Sockdreams | lace shirt - f21 | cami - American Eagle

Aftermath!!!  After staying up I-dare-not-say-how-late (ahem, 6:30am) finishing a project, this is how I spent the rest of the day.  I don't know what to say except that I was really happy to finally have a deadline again, after many months of being sort-of-working-on-things-but-not-able-to-finish-them, and so got a bit carried away making sure I absolutely met my deadline without fail.  Aaah.  It's such a great feeling to finish things.

Anyway, I'm going to point to this incident as the reason I got a li'l behind with updating here.  It'll probably happen again whenever my next big deadline comes along, so be aware.  But I'll always come back, you know!!

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.

dramatic colourless lys

I am trying out posting just the sketches, no colour.  It's not as exciting, but at least I can keep up this way.  If you feel inclined to colour them yourselves, go ahead! (and let me see too :D)  At this point I think most of the things I wear have been worn in previous posts, but if you're unsure about the colours, just make it up however you like!

[jan 2011 edit: i couldn't stand it; the lack of colour was making me sad.  so now it's in colour, along with the others I originally posted in b/w.]
