an { almost } romantic day

hi everyone! thanks mucho for your lovely comments on my sketch below. like i said i'll be posting art more frequently {until you get bored of it}

this day was a catastrophe of sorts, but a very funny one. it started out perfectly: the sun shining brightly, a nice breakfast, paris...what could possibly go wrong. well, decided to visit a beautiful garden near the bastille. it really was beautiful...the only problem is that i have SEVERE ALLERGIES and every tree and their mother was pollinating and there were bugs everywhere { seriously...it was like God released the plague of locusts all over again }. i spent the rest of the day barely able to see and sniffling. let's just say it ended with us buying a kumquat tree {ask me if i know what a kumquat even tastes like}

the outfit: to be honest, i felt a bit like doing some pliés in this because the fabrics were so delicate and girly i felt like a ballerina. i like mixing prints and fabrics {though this wasn't too much of a stretch} this skirt is one of my favorite new pieces {kind of obsessed} just because it's so beautifully made and fun to touch. the shirt is now one of my go-tos because it's so versatile. i can wear it with anything! also...im a HUGE fan of swatch watches...im wearing 2 in these pictures, but ill show the other one later. i have some "serious" watches, but as an artist i love most things fun and creative. i can never leave the swatch store without buying at least one thing.
