Leap Month 4

Today's theme is decidedly blonde in black--beginning with this pleated black blouse (Fashion Bug) combined with the black chiffon skirt from Wal-Mart. (Unfortunately the pleats in the blouse do not photograph well.)

Accessories are black headband, pearls, black hose, and black patent pumps.

A few comments on makeup--I went with a pure pink lipstick and the digital eyeliner is in a purplish shade.

Leap Month 3

This will be a slightly different kind of posting for me. I only wore one outfit today, but I played around with a couple of accessories and took a lot more photos than usual...more than twice as many. After editing them all, I chose the 15 best to post here.

The outfit consists of a blue blouse with silver stripes (Kmart) and a very tight blue skirt (thrift shop). This first set shows it off with just a blue bow, silver jewelry, black belt, and boots.

For the second set of shots, I added my femme glasses to the mix:

And for the third set, the wide-brimmed black hat:

This time there are no additional pics on Flickr (although all these are there). Over the weekend, I'll post some more art...and I should be dressing again on Monday.

Leap Month 2

The day before Groundhog's Day continues with a pink confection--pink twofer top from Macy's combined with the pink plaid pleated skirt (wish there were a synonym for "skirt" that started with "p") from Kmart.

The prop this time is a phone, obviously. Accessories are pink bow, black-and-white jewelry, natural hose, and fuchsia pink pumps.

I don't think the portraits this time were as successful as other recent attempts:

More pics on Flickr; I may be dressing again on Friday...but that's not certain. And don't forget to vote in the poll (details here)!

Leap Month 1

Beginning 29 days of groundhogs, Valentines and presidents, here's a very school-girlish look: Pink striped blouse (Rider from Wal-Mart) paired with the black-watch plaid corduroy jumper (Target).

Wanting to play with props and noting the school uniform look, I used a book in many of these shots, as well as my femme glasses. Other accessories are blue bow, scarf, silver jewelry, pink tights and black mary-janes.

As I noted yesterday, I'm wearing the red pageboy wig today, so you can all make a comparison to the new one from yesterday's pics. Your thoughts?
