Hello, my lovelies.

Decided to go through with reduxes of the first few OOTDs I drew and colored digitally.  And of course, the cupcake is on its way. :D

Sunglasses: Don’t know
Shirt: Avenue sz. 18/20
Shorts: Avenue sz. 20
Sandals: Avenue sz. 11

I bought these shorts on a whim and was surprised at how short they were on me.  Still, body acceptance is about pushing one’s comfort zones, so I wore them several times.  I would look down and see legs as far as the eye could see.  This t-shirt is incredible, and one of my favorites.  It’s actually made of a slightly thicker material than regular t-shirts, so I wear it pretty much year-round.

I’ve actually had this drawn and inked for months, but since the t-shirt has such a detailed design, I didn’t get a chance to sit down with it and make sure I drew it accurately.

My bridesmaid’s dress from my sister’s wedding.

Dress: David’s Bridal sz. 18 (I think; this is when I was a slightly smaller fat)
Jewelry: don’t remember… maybe Claire’s?
Shoes: Invisible, but I’m wearing the white ballet flats from this OOTD.

Damn, I loved the hell out of that dress.  I replicated it as best I could with the greens I had, but the wedding colors were sage and silver, so my dress was a more muted, cool green called “celadon."  Here’s a color-adjusted version that’s a bit closer:

I didn’t want to overwork the coloring too much, otherwise I might’ve attempted to replicate these colors on the actual paper.  The brighter version really does convey the beauty of the dress effectively, as well as makes me look like the Frog Princess!

Outfit from 2.4.2011

Shirt: Gifted, Target
Hoodie: Merona
Tie: Loaned
Jeans: Avenue
Kneepads: Lowe’s (hardware store)
Shoes: Dansko

OKAY. This hot look requires BACKSTORY.

So I’ve been working overnights for the last month, since the store I work in is being remodeled and they need extra help and HEY more money because of the shift differential.  Last Thursday night I was dicking around on Facebook before work when I see a post by one of my daytime coworkers proclaiming that Fridays henceforth would be Anti-Casual Friday, and we should all don our professional attire instead.  I commented that if I had a red tie, I would’ve totally donned it at midnight to join in.

Cut to 10:30 when my shift started, and my other coworker, Mark, brought a tie for me to wear! As well as one for himself, as he’d also seen the exchange on Facebook.

So this is my Anti-Casual Friday OOTD.  No, really.
