Summertime: A White Shirt & Washed Out Cut-offs

Yay – this fashion illustration has been made possible by my friend’s lovely invitation to an impromptu afternoon mani pedi! Hooray!!

I love this look because it’s comfortable and put together. In my opinion, you really can’t fail with a clean white boyshirt. (Plus – shorts and open toe shoes are key for a pedicure. I usually forget where and show up in skinny jeans with closed shoes; the technician usually gives me a look.)

Also, I’m in loooove with my anchor belt. It’s hella cheap on asos and from the boy’s club. (Btw, I got xs. If I wear it in the closest hole, it fits my hip.)

Refreshed: A Crisp White Popover & Peach Jeans

All my life I’ve felt like a jack of all trades. I never seem to master of one thing, but “get by” at a lot of things. I think because I have too much going on in my brain, I can’t focus on any one subject for long.

This is one of my biggest downfalls. It results in abandoned ideas and unfinished projects. But, I never want Sketchbook Closet to become that. I really love this blog.

Camping: Chambray and Neon on Black

Hello, I’m finally back with a new fashion illustration!! I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend (and hopefully a nice day off!) Apologies for my longer-than-expected absence. I can’t divulge a lot of details, but I’m working on a new project that I think you’ll really love! So, I’ve been spending a little bit of my blog time designing for this new endeavor. I can’t wait to share it with you!

So yes, believe it or not – I went camping!! In the woods! I slept in a tent! On the ground! (Honestly, it was not as bad as it sounds.)

Since the weather was a little chilly – it was important to have a lot of layers. It worked out great; I was comfortable while tossing a football back and forth–and I was warm while sitting around sketching. (It was also key that we had “heat tech” under layers for sleeping.)

This was my first time camping; I was scared of what it might be like. But, I ended up having a fantastic time and I can’t wait for my next camping trip!

**Note: My converse sneakers are the kids’ version (size 3!) Converse sneakers run pretty large. If you have small feet like me (size 5) you can probably get away with the much cheaper kids’ version!!

Casual Color: White Shirt, Dot Mini, & Pretty Pops

Lately, the weather’s been so gloomy. (I hate it.) I did a cheery fashion illustration to brighten up the day. I hope you like it!

My vacation’s nearly here. I’m so ready to go. I feel like a senior in high school and it’s the last week before summer break. Fortunately, I’ve been really busy at work and time is flying.
