Delicate Dresses

This is a dress I don't wear often. I got it at work, and it's Jason Wu (!!!) and made of a very thin swishy fabric. I'm scared I'm gonna rip it, and it's already starting to tear in a couple places. I wish I had a fancy event to wear it to!

As someone who usually wears short skirts as opposed to low cut shirts, I was kind of surprised to see cleavage in these shots. Who knew I was hiding that in there?!

Really I shouldn't let Pip anywhere near this thing. He's a pretty rambunctious little kitty... I wish he would just lay down and sleep sometimes, but he just attacks me and Travis all day! I don't wanna compare him to the cats on "My Cat From Hell," but. Normally on that show they just make you play with it for like 15 min a day. And he's nice sometimes... You guys have any experience with cats that like to hunt humans?

I'm loving my days off, especially when I get two in a row! <3 I went shopping with my sister today and got some booty shorts for summer. I can't wait for the sun!

Art Lately: My Production Rate Slows

I haven't been producing nearly as much work lately. And I thought I was busy in college! I am trying to try new things with my work, like new color palettes, and lining with ink like in the one above, which is called "Coffee Shop Princess."

This last one is called "Home." For awhile there I wanted to make every piece about something, trying out being conceptual with my work. This one is about looking back, missing your home. The plants are all from the house I grey up in.

But then I decided that there's no shame in painting something just for the sake of a pretty picture, either.

Time is getting away from me again!

I hope you guys had a good Valentines Day. Travis's birthday was the 15th, and our anniversary is the 16th, so we usually make a big deal of it all and buy presents and eat out. But we decided we couldn't afford it this year. It's ok, I think most people have a rough first year out of school. I did buy him another anime figurine, and we bought some clearance Valentines candy on Sunday. So pretty good weekend anyway! My Mom got me some Lush stuff, so I used my first bath bomb this week, too!

At work I've been enjoying managing our social media. My boss lets me get creative with it, which is really nice! I know I could be making more somewhere else, but I'm not confident I could find a job I enjoy as much. So that's not a bad place to be! What are your favorite stores as far as social media goes? I need to look up good facebooks and instagrams for ideas.

Most of my clothes these days are from work. Working at a resale store you really find out that you can wear a big variety of sizes! Working with different brands (or sucking it in to make it work) means I have a closet ranging from size 0-12 right now, lol!

High Waist

I'm trying to take pictures whenever I can. I'm excited to show off my super high waisted jeans that my boyfriend and his mom got me for Christmas this year! Most "high waisted" things on the market don't come up as high as I want, so these are perfect. 

Work is fun right now because we've got a lot of exciting events coming up. My favorite days are my social media days because I get to be creative! Any tiny way I can use my major is chalked up as a success for me.

Most of my pictures have been in my living room lately. Right now this spot is covered in dirt, though, because my cat knocked over a plant.

Valentines is coming up, I hope you all have a good one!

Orange Eyes

My camera battery finally got here! I thought it would be too dark for pictures after work, but I guess spring is on it's way! Thank god, I hate the dark. I've been pretty absent from here lately.

Being out of school is very disorienting and confusing. That's what everyone says, and it's really true. You spend all your life with this end goal of graduating and then you don't know what to do. Use your degree to make money? You wish. That being said, I'm not unhappy. Just kind of floating along, because going with the flow is all I feel I can do. But I want to be in control. 

Work is fine, I have friends there and I like clothes and doing social media. So far it has mostly been putting together outfits, taking pictures, and coming up with cheesy captions, and I like those things. I have been trying to expand my illustration shop to include brooches and stickers. What kind of things do you like to buy from artists?

Spring will be here soon to brighten up my world. I'll plant more flowers and we'll move to a cheaper (hopefully brighter) apartment before too long. It's been a mild winter, but I'm ready for change!
