Motherā€™s Day dinner OOTD. Anytime we go out with my boyfriendā€™s parents, it involves restaurants and food WAYYY above my pay grade. So I get to dress fancier.

I bought this dress like three or four years ago and Iā€™ve worn it once. Itā€™s kind of a Better Have Perfect Posture dress, since the neckline is a bit low and my bra will see the light if I slouch too much. XD

Hey, I got to do a Fashion February today!Ā  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.Ā  (Also pictured: a top I got for $5 on its hanger. :D)

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

Wore this to my cousin’s wedding last spring.Ā  I didn’t have anything new and exciting to wear, so I borrowed things from my sister.Ā  Luckily we’re similar sizes, though she is a bit shorter than I am.Ā  She’d actually hemmed this dress due to her height, so on me it was more like a minidress!Ā  With the belt, I totally had a Joan Holloway caboose on me.

The bow is there because I made the decorations for my cousin’s car for after the ceremony.Ā  Ribbons and bows EVERYWHERE.

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

Back on the OOTD wagon! o/

I got two new outfits drawn while on my lunch break last night, so I inked them up when I got home.Ā  (I will hopefully color and post the second one tomorrow.)Ā  I tried something new and inked them with a real actual brush and pot of ink, too!Ā  And I only smudged this one in ONE place! ^_^;;

Anyways, my favorite part of this (both the outfit and the drawing) is from the knees down. DOSE LEGWARMERS.

No one will ever take my legwarmers away from me. *clutches them to the chest*

I’m so tempted to replace my Birthday Bash dress with my correct size.Ā  I could probably sell my current one to recoup some of the cost, it’s just in need of a couple repairs.Ā  (The bow came off after a raucous night of clubbing and it should probably be cleaned.)

Could be my Christmas gift to myself? oxo
