Sentiment


So, I just got the first dress I've ever paid for completely with my art commissions.
I really wanted it, and as soon as I'd earned enough, BAM, in the shopping cart. :)




(I'll probably never wear it without a cardigan, though. I absolutely hate my arms/shoulders.)



Sweater: Forever 21
Dress: Lulu's

I actually have two more coming (Modcloth!) which were also bought with art-money, but this one's going to be pretty special to me.

    Congratulations!! The dress is adorable. You have nothing to hide and have a beautiful neckline and shoulders. I can't wait to see what else you got. Modcloth always has such fun stuff.

    Congrats on the first completely paid-for-by-art dress! It's so wonderfully sweet, but the colors keep it from being too saccharine. I think you have great arms and shoulders -- they look well-defined! I can relate, though. I always wear cardigans or jackets because I detest my arms too!

    Congratulations! I didn't buy anything special with my first art sale (now I wish I had!), but I do have my first dollar framed! :D

    The dress is adorable- both with the cardigan and without! :)

    That dress is absolutely beautiful on you, Rachel - and it is just as lovely without the cardi, as it is with. :)
