Gravity, Don't Mean Too Much





Sweater, Shorts: Target
Blouse: H&M

Ha, more shorts! I'm trying to find ways of making them feel more girly...I feel sorta lazy when I just put on a pair of shorts and a tee (although that's generally what I wind up doing).
The weather's been really nice, so I've been wearing my shorts more often and my pants less so. Thankfully, all my dresses are meant for spring/summer anyhow, so I can finally wear them without sweaters on top! My friends all laugh at me for my constant cardigan-wearing ways. :'D

Next assignment in illustration is for potential consideration in a gallery in town; here's what I have so far:

Here's the rough sketch. We were told to think of something along the lines of a self-portrait, so I'm drawing myself as different people or in different themes within the multiple boxes. Lame, yes, but we only have a week so I'm just trying to get it done the best I can. Maybe watercolor. :/

    I LOVE tailored shorts - they are such a fun look for fall/winter. Ooh, that illustration is perfection - the girl looks a bit like you; yet reminds me of "Alice in Wonderland" at the very same time. Love!! :)

    I really love the drawing! You may think it's lame, but to me, that's pretty rockin', haha! And you are seriously just too cute -- I love the hair, especially! As for girly-ing up some shorts, you can wear thin colored tights under them (so that you're not suffocating your legs when it's hot outside)!

    hmm, have you thought about wearing the shorts with a super feminine blouse? maybe something chiffon or with a floral print. that would definitely make them more girly :)
