Hey, I got to do a Fashion February today!  Camera phone is the only camera I own at the moment, and I happened to go to a local Kohl’s that’s closing to look through their clearance, so I got a nice full-body shot of this outfit in the dressing room mirror.  (Also pictured: a top I got for $5 on its hanger. :D)

I don’t wear this skirt nearly as often as I should.

Cardigan: Merona (Target)
Top: Avenue
Skirt: Merona (Target)
Stockings: Hips and Curves
Boots: Payless

Will also be the subject of a future OOTD illustration! ^_^

Outfit from 10.28.2011

Dress: Domino Dollhouse sz. 24
Shrug: Pure Energy sz. 2 (Target)/
Tights: Assets sz. 5 (Target)
Boots: Funtasma sz. 11 (eBay)
Necklace:  Thrifted
Wristlet: e.l.f. cosmetics

I love love love the strawberry dress– the only drawback is I cannot wear it by itself!  The neckline is cut a little strangely for my shoulders and the straps wont stay up at all.  But the shrug works well enough until I can take it to my seamstress friend to see what she can make of it. ^_^

I decided a sassy self-portrait was in order.  I’m looking rather dapper today anyway, since I went out with my boyfriend and his family for his father’s birthday dinner at a fancy restaurant.

I happened to be watching the episode of Futurama where Fry learns he’s a billionaire and throws a party with everyone wearing top hats, and here we are.

Some ideas for my next series of Body Love Buttons. These will be in tattoo style, but I’ve got some researching to do on the lettering styles before I work on the final designs.

So against my better judgement, I watched some Adventure Time.  Lumpy Space Princess is like my favorite thing ever.  And I love how, from what I’ve heard, the fandom loves her too.

So I made a drawing of a LSP-inspired outfit/found-item cosplay.  Purple happens to be my favorite color, so I’ve got plenty of it in my closet.  I imagine a human LSP to be similar in personality to April on Parks and Recreation, so that’s who I’d be channeling if I actually did this.

So that’s Lumpy Space Alex. :B

Oh, and this is the first thing I’ve drawn in 2012! o/

I posted this to a thread in r/TwoXChromosomes about a girl the poster knew who was being fat shaming about prom dresses (tw: fat hate, bullying) and I thought I’d post it here, too.

I was a fat teen, and this is what I wore to prom.  I was probably around a size 18 at this time, and I got the dress at DEB.
