Art Of Fashion, Do You Love It

I have been drawing since I could first get my fingers around a pen or pencil, and still love doing so today. Bringing them to the computer and online is something I only recently have begun doing and find it to be quite enjoyable as well. It is a different style of mine (for years I have used charcoal and oil paints mostly with designs of architecture and sculptures in mind).

Well, here are two of my little drawings- let me know what you think, I would love to hear from you.

This is just to give you an idea of my style when it comes to fashion drawings. I have many more and even more in the works, many incorporating events and scenes which I find to be quite entertaining.

Okay- get back to me and let me know what you think. These two are a little rough (these are some of my earlier ones, they’ve smoothed out a lot since then and I had to convert them to a different format to be viewable here on the blog) but you get the idea, I think.

Much love, xx

PS The art in the top right corner of my page (for the RSS Feed) is one of my newer drawings. Again you can get a feel for the style.

A Vest Of Feminine Fashion Style

I am very old fashioned when it comes to most things (although with a modern twist) and when it comes to pants or men’s clothing on women I tend to shy away. It just isn’t for me for me. I am not against it and think other’s can wear it well, fashion after all is about finding what you like and what represents you best. On this rare occasion I find myself liking this cute little navy blue BCBG vest. It is form fitting and the buttons are adorable.

I think most masculine turned feminine styles can be constricting or non feminine flattering if you know what I mean (hiding the feminine shape and pushing a masculine one). I am all for playful trends, but there should be a well meaning purpose behind them and for the wearer. This is a good balance for me, and most importantly I still feel like a pretty sophisticated lady (and in my own clothes- as though they were made with a female in mind).

The men’s shirt dress for women can be fun with a cute belt to reveal the woman’s shape, but sometimes it just looks like you rolled out of bed and picked up your boyfriend’s clothes before leaving home. I have some mixed feelings there, and the wearer just seems to get lost over the fashion. Fashion should make notice of what you are and not the other way around.

Anyway, I think this combination is a cute and simple one. Make your own adjustments and add your own accessories. But even on its own it makes quite the statement.
