Finally finished this one!  These are human versions of the cast of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in 50′s style, complete with malt shop and cutie mark poodle skirts.  This took me around 18 hours over two evenings, though that doesn’t include the time I spent researching 1950s costume.  It gave me a good excuse to watch Pleasantville. :D

I did some pencil sketches of this to test out the composition and such, but the final image was all digitally drawn in Photoshop.

Dress: Target.com sz. 3
Shoes: Crocs sz. 10
Jewelry: Premiere Designs (bracelet), @ttract (necklace, earrings).

Wore this ensemble to my parents’ annual Martini Party.  I spent about three months planning this outfit, right down to the shapewear and jewelry.  You could say that the beginning of this year was when I really started getting into fatshion, and this dress was my first big jump into it. ^_^

This is an outfit from a few years ago, when I was slightly smaller.  It’s also when I was wearing a lot more clothes that were too small for me, as the sweater and camisole were.  Still, I was pretty impressed with myself for coming up with this outfit.  And it was an adorable cardigan.

Cardigan: Mossimo Supply Co. sz XL
Camisole: Unknown brand, I think it was a size L.
Skirt: DEB, size unknown, probably 1X or 2X
Shoes: Merona sz. 10

A little blast from the past with an outfit I wore during ConnectiCon last month.  Though it was 90 degrees in Hartford all weekend, the sweater was necessary inside the convention center for much of the time. o_o

Shirt: Pure Energy sz. 3
Cardigan: Merona sz. 3
Skirt: Mossimo Black sz. 3
Shoes: Crocs sz. 10

So much of my clothing comes from Target these days. ^_^;

I made this pose in the mirror when I was trying on this tank and I knew I had to draw it for an OOTD.  I love the crocheted back to this tank.

Tank: Pure Energy sz. 2
Bra: Lane Bryant
Shorts: Avenue sz. 20
Shoes: You know the drill.

I was off out of town this weekend, and I got a lot of drawing and doodling done.  I’ll have some OOTDs of outfits past coming up, as opposed to what I’m actually wearing nowadays.  Though I really ought to do a drawing with the cute sandals I bought…

I love these.  They’re so quick!

Shirt: Pure Energy sz. 2
Jeans: Merona sz. 22W
Shoes: Crocs sz. 10

I raided the clearance section at Target the other day, since a bunch of the good late-summer stuff was marked down.  These jeans were 50% off, so I got two pairs.  I’ve never worn Merona’s jeans before, but if they hold up as well as their khakis, I probably wont be disappointed.  And it was a good deal anyway. ^_^

This shirt was returned to me at the service desk yesterday.  That’ll happen from time to time; someone returns something cute in my size while I’m working, and this was also marked down on clearance, so I think it was meant to be!  I set it aside until my break, when I bought it up. :D

A quickie I did in my brown sketchbook of some recent purchases.  Much looser than my previous OOTD artwork, since I didn’t use references, and sketched it directly in ink.  I like it!  I might do more fatshion art like this from now on.

Shirt: Lane Bryant sz. 18/20
Leggings: Lane Bryant sz. C/D

Shirt: LOL Vintage (Target) sz. 2
Shorts: Avenue sz. 20
Shoes: Crocs sz. 10

Finally got this one done!  I loved my expression in the picture that I based this on.

The t-shirt (which I got on clearance!) actually has a peace sign on it, which you can see when you’re far away, but up close, it’s harder to parse as being a deliberate shape.  In a nutshell, Chris teases me for having cream cheese on my shirt whenever I wear it. ^_^;;

Shortly after that OOTD, I bought this awesome shrug cardigan sweater that I’d been lusting after:

And all of a sudden, this dress is awesome again! I seriously love this shrug.

Shrug: Pure Energy (Target) sz. 2
Dress: Pure Energy sz. 3
Shoes: Crocs “Alice” sz. 10
Jewelry: Premiere Designs

These OOTDs (and the photo references I use to make them) are kind of strange to me since I got my hair chopped off last month. It was so long!
