Actually... One more quick crafting update from the last month before I leave.

3d cutout diarama wip

And here's my favorite outfit from the past two weeks. A dash of Tuscany to brighten up my winter blues. Pieces bought from Florence... with colors clearly meant to flatter Mediterranean skin. I matched the flow of the dress with the flow of the off-cream pashmina and covered the flow with a loosely fitted spring jacket to give structure.

There was a different day where a woman complemented me while I was drawing in the west end and told me that she adored my outfit because it was just all class and asked me where my skirt was from. I told her it was from Esprit and she looked disappointed by the answer but told me I wore the skirt well. The truth is.... you never have to shop expensive to get the same looks. You just have to find things that fit.

I was just thrilled with this encounter because it means I finally matured into all my old clothes. And it's just as well because I have not shopped in almost a year.

I have some secret plans to work with power tools and welding-- (What else are friends with studios for, amirite?)
