Happy Monday! I hope you all had an amazing weekend. I worked really hard this weekend to prep everything for this weeks posts. Not easy with a thirteen year old who is always hungry I think he might just eat me out of house and home. This year I have vowed to be better at my posts and really step it up. So, I hope you all enjoy the new and improved blog year woot woot.
This weekend all I wanted to do was sit by my little heater, curl up in a blanket, sip hot coco, look at fashion inspiration and listen to the rain. It has been raining here in Southern California which by the way I love the rain. I probably would’t say that if I lived where it always rained haha. Seriously I love the sound and the smell yeah! But we have really had some dry winter’s here in California. So, I’m more than excited for the rain to be here. With just wanting to be cozy all I wanted to wear was jeans and a plaid shirt. Then next thing I knew was I was sketching and looking for plaid shirts with a twist. I’ve always loved looking for things and wearing clothing that are different. Then I thought what a perfect post that would be. Plus who doesn’t want a plaid shirt that adds a little spice to their wardrobe?
I hope you like my not so typical plaid shirt picks and my plaid shirt watercolor sketch. I hope you have a wonderful Monday. I know you all will look great in any of these picks so have fun and thank you for stopping by my blog.

This is the last week of October so, I wanted to do another illustration for breast cancer awareness month! Of course that meant only one thing yup a pink gown.
I have been playing with more watercolors lately and using regular paper. I kind of like how the regular printer paper crinkles because it can’t handle the water like true watercolor paper. I think I’m attracted to the texture it gives the paper when it crinkles. I’m just having fun experimenting and being carefree with the last couple of fashion illustrations I’ve done.
I hope you enjoy this illustration and thank you so much for allowing me the chance to share with you my creations. I love sharing them with everyone and seeing how people respond to them! Thanks for also stopping by and reading my blog it means so much to me the continued support.

Stitch seems to like being a involved all the time lucky here he just took a nap next to my stuff so the shooing away wasn’t to bad that night!
