saturday sketch: selfie

so colour week sort of got away from me, unfortunately. i ended up getting called into work to cover for my coworker, whose daughter had her baby! i'm not complaining, really - i'll take whatever shifts come my way. it did mean that by the time i got home i was too exhausted get shooting... and the thought of browsing through folders on my computer in search of pre-existing colour shots made my head spin.

thankfully, i was allowed to leave work early today due to a slow day in the tea room, which left me time enough to do a sunday sketch! here is the sketch in progress:





i've been thinking a lot about the trip that my boy and i will be taking to Montreal in July - and trying to plan outfits. so the sketch is kind of a self-portrait, in a sense... that is my favourite denim skirt, and my favourite turquoise suede mary-janes... and a top that doesn't actually exist in my current wardrobe (i have a similar one in green and white, but for some reason i've decided i love red and burgundy together at the moment :))

to all the Canadians out there - happy May-Long/Two-Four/Victoria Day weekend! hope you are enjoying time with family and friends!

I love this - it reminds me of kind of an Audrey Hepburn beatnik outfit - super cool!
Great Sketch!

this is wonderful! I love seeing the stages of you bringing it to life. I wish you a wonderful trip. I will be going to Italy in July. What shall I wear? They really know how to dress there! I love that skirt!
