Yes, it looks like winter outside, and my outfit looks like fall. Yes, it is April 15th. Yes, it was 70 degrees yesterday. But Ohio is a troll. And just when you think spring has arrived..............this state throws you with 3-4 inches of snow. And yes, it stuck. -__-

I really wish I was a more consistent blogger and would have had pictures of the last few days! Then you could really see the contrast. But alas, it has been a month since I posted, and it was snowy on March 12 (the last time I posted) as well. 

I've been extremely busy lately. After spring break all of the final projects were poured onto us. There's only 4 weeks of classes left, but man, are these 4 weeks going to be tough. I have a final project in Fashion Visuals due in 2 weeks that my group and I haven't even started yet, on top of the design journal for the same class. I have the final portfolio of Foundations of Fashion Drawing due soon. And we still have another whole sewing project to do in Basics of Apparel Construction. *sigh* Just gotta buckle down and muscle through it I guess!

Much love, dolls

Asian-inspired Beauty

Chinese-style dress: Thrifted
Black pumps: Elder Beerman

Lips: Maybelline Color Elixir in "Signature Scarlet"

Well, it is obvious that I fail at the whole blogging game. It's been a month since my last post! x__x But this semester has been so crazy, that I barely have any time for any of my own personal hobbies. I haven't drawn a single thing for myself in months. (Believe me, I HAVE been drawing. A LOT. But it's not soothing when it's for class.) I miss being able to let my creative juices flow and draw whatever comes to my mind.

In addition, I have been terribly stressed lately. I have been agonizing over my major, and my family is going through a bit of a crisis at home. I didn't want my blog to be riddled with only negative things. This blog is more than just a spot to complain or have myself a pity party. So that is another reason I haven't been posting.

However, I have found the time for an entry now, so let's talk about this outfit! I absolutely ADORE this dress. It is probably the best thrift find I have ever some across. I love asian inspired fashion, whether it is inspired by traditional dress or modern asian street style. So when I saw this dress for a whopping $6.00, I knew it had to be mine. It's incredibly well made, and was probably pretty expensive to begin with, so I feel so lucky to have found it. <3

Seriously, guys, thrifting is amazing. The thrift stores around my hometown aren't the greatest, but sometimes I come across a true treasure, such as this dress. And that keeps me coming back to look again. I recommend thrifting to everyone! It takes some patience, but you can acquire some beautiful and/or unique pieces in the end.

Much love, dolls
