Description
I have an ongoing What I Wore series where I (surprise, surprise) illustrate what I wore on certain days. I should try to do these more often; they're really useful as drawing exercises.See the second instalment here .
Tools: Wacom Intuos2 Tablet, Paint Tool SAI, Adobe Photoshop CS3 (to put it together).
1. Where do you shop?
Local stores: General Pants Co. , Dangerfield , Kookai , Bardot , Supre , Sportsgirl , ValleyGirl .
Online shopping: ASOS , TopShop , Etsy & YesStyle .
Almost all of my shoes are from Zomp .
2. Did you design these clothes?
No. These are just illustrations of what I wore.
3. Do you actually own/wear these clothes?
Yes! Wouldn't it defeat the purpose of 'What I Wore' if I didn't?
4. Is your hair actually like that?
Yes. These are miniature self-portraits, after all!
5. Where can I see more of these?
Right HERE !

haha, i avoid pink like the plague. you can never go wrong with black.
nah it's not - we don't have a macy's! the blue dress is actually a short tunic but i can wear as a dress since i'm so short, lol. i got it from a tiny non-descript boutique in my city. cheap stuff!

OOh, it's these times I curse the fact I live in Michigan. Here, spring means snow mixed with rain aka slush. That freezes into ice. Not fun. And heels? NOT practical. Really the only season I can wear heels without falling on my bum is summer/early fall.
I need to live in Australia. Or somewhere equally warm. Preferably someplace with lots of stylish artists running around.

Oh, but I envy you! I've never seen snow before! You get to wear lots of lovely winter gear. Winter fashions are my favourite.
Haha, I'd love to live in Europe. I think everyone there is stylish/creative.

I love your style! You seem to be of the rare breed of person that can wear retro-inspired fashions and pull it off really, really well. And these drawings are all so great.
"What I Wore" is a really interesting idea for a drawing exercise. I hope you don't mind if I try it out...hopefully it'll help me improve my drawing!

This might be a ignorant or repetitive question...
What is the name for the shoes (2nd row, middle pair) with the bow?
You have a wonderful style.

thank you! and.. i don't know what they're supposed to be called. i'd probably call them ribbon-tie pumps, or something. if you're asking about the brand, it's called "i love billy".
