Love thigh high stockings, but hate all the fuss it takes getting them to stay up? Here's what I've discovered. Layering them over another pair of tights creates enough friction to keep them up without the use of fussy garters. Here, I've paired knit black thigh highs with nude fishnets. I wore this all day and never had to mess around with pulling up my stockings.

Back in February...
Ugh, I'm so behind in my daily sketches. Here are some outfits from a month ago...
Tuesday

Similar wrap bracelet
I'm wearing bracelets today...that's new. I have a lot of bracelets but I hardly ever wear them. Maybe this year will be the year of the bracelet.

Wednesday
Similar button - Wet Paint
Oooh, this outfit is fun. That jacket is my favorite thing in the world. It's my signature color (red orange) and includes beige and white polka dots (a la Pretty Woman). It's got kind of a space age shape about it which I emphasized with a flying saucer button on the lapel. I just love it!
Thursday
Shirt
Similar jumper
Similar button
Similar tights - Target
Boots
I did a pretty terrible job on this one. I drew the jumper all wrong and I'm wearing an awesome button that I did not capture here. I can't remember what earrings I wore. Also, those tights are houndstooth. Houndstooth, how I love thee, but you're so tedious to draw!
Friday
Similar shirt
Similar vest - Dale's
Pants - Express
Boots
Similar earrings - Urban Outfitters
Similar brooch
This vest is from Dale's and of course I love it. Heavyweight material, great navy blue color, interesting details. It's supposed to clip together in the middle and cascade down, but that makes me look huge, so instead when I wear it, I overlap the vest and pin it together with a brooch to make it a little more sleek.
Saturday
Dress - Daddy-O's
Shoes - Kick
Similar necklace - Urban Outfitters
Smilar earrings - Savers
Similar tights - Express
This is what I wore for a performance with my band in Rochester. I always think that I look really good in this dress, but when I see myself in it in pictures, I look lumpy. It's probably because the material is so shiny and there's a lot of ruching going on. Either way, I'm going to keep on wearing it because it makes me feel good. And that's all that matters, right?

A New Year is Glittering with Possibilities
Monday
Similar hat - Savers
I'm not sure how I feel about pairing this dress with black, but I was so excited when I got it that I couldn't wait to wear it. The minute it came in the mail, the dress I was wearing was on the floor and this baby was on my body. Also, it matches my boots perfectly!! It's actually a summer dress and I'm excited to wear the shit out of it when I don't have to have a mini mouse under layer.

Similar necklace
This New Year's Eve I went for shiny and I was probably the fanciest lady at the Cabooze. At least I didn't wear a fur like I normally do on this holiday. I didn't think the hippies would care for it much.

Wednesday
Normally on New Year's Day, you can find me laying on the couch with my dog in my pajamas. However, Sample Night Live landed on January 1st this year, so I got all dressed up to play a couple of songs with my band and try to sell some art.
Thursday
Earrings
Not much to say about this outfit except it was really comfortable and I'm in love with these boots.

A Change of Pace
Over the past couple of weeks, my time has been taken up by other projects such as sewing bags for upcoming craft sales, framing prints for said craft sales and this little number that I'm sharing with you today. I'll probably be busy with crafty projects until Christmas, so the weekly day by day outfit posts might turn into sporadic outfit posts littered with pictures of handmade bags. Either way, I'll still be blogging.
As you may or may not know, I sing in a band called Herschel and the Detainees. It's a lot of fun to be a part of this group and it's a great outlet for creative expression, be it music, art, or what we wear for shows and photo shoots. Personally, I love that part of it. I can't stand to see someone performing in a band wearing boring clothes. All I want to do is style that band. The way I see it is being on stage is your excuse to wear the craziest shit you can imagine. The stuff that sits in the back of your closet because it's too shiny, too short, too low cut, too colorful, too whatever it is that makes you think twice about wearing it everyday. That's the stuff that you can get away with on stage. Herschel encourages fun performance outfits and I appreciate that.
He also encourages my art, which is where this post comes from. After I started this blog, he had the idea for me to draw the band in the style of my daily outfit posts and this is how it turned out.
