What I Wore, Then & Now, Part 7.

What I Wore (In Drawings) And How I Wear It Now. Part 7.

This is the seventh time I’ve taken an older What I Wore drawing, and updated it to how I wear it now. Because, believe it or not, I still own many of the pieces I drew years ago. They were favorites then for a reason!

Above is the updated version of the illustration for the November page on my birthday calendar. Below the original drawing.

I still own all of the clothing items on here, although I haven’t worn the cardigan and boots for a while. But I still love them and am keeping them for later. At the moment I’m wearing my cold-shoulder sweater a lot and when I’m not wearing sneakers I like a platform boot with a little bit of a block-heel.

Then there’s a coffee-confession: I love drawing coffee related items such as the peculator, but in reality at home I drink instant latte macchiato.😳 I’m not proud!

A few other new favorites, including my retro Casio watch and Hemp lip balm from The Body Shop. Which version do you prefer?

I still love this dress and the bag. I’ve added my favorite sandals, added new (vintage) sunglasses, my favorite silver hoop earrings and added a few little cactus planst that are growing fast this summer. Small changes this time, but which version do you prefer?

Hello September!

2023 09 Sept calendar Cindy Mangomini blog

Hello September! September Mood In Drawings.

A new month means a new calendar page. This is from my 2023 wall calendar. The theme & inspiration for this illustration is an end of summer, back to school, back to work, getting ready for fall vibe.

Our summer and spring have been very rainy here in the Netherlands so I’m hoping for a few more sunny days. At the same time, the rainy days are great for cocooning at home, with some candles, tea or wine and a good book or TV show. Anyway, wishing everyone a sunny and happy September!

This is the fifth time I’ve taken an older What I Wore drawing, and updated it to how I wear it now. Because, believe it or not, I still own many of the pieces I drew years ago. They were favorites then for a reason!

Above is the updated version of the illustration for the August page on my birthday calendar. Below the original drawing. I honesty still own all these items, I just haven’t worn the flip flops for a long time. So, what I updated here are mostly the accessories and the food & drinks that are my current favorites to bring to a summer picnic. Which version do you prefer?

Sunny Summer Faves!

My Hot Summer Day Favorites, Illustrated, Of Course.

I´m not good with heat but I try to make the most of it. Usually that means finding shade in a forest or going for a refreshing swim in a cold lake or river. These are the things I bring along on such days.

This is the fourth time I’ve taken an older What I Wore drawing, and updated it to how I wear it now. Because, believe it or not, I still own many of the pieces I drew years ago. They were favorites then for a reason!

Above is the updated version of the illustration for the July page on my birthday calendar. Below the original drawing. This is an outfit that I still wear, although the sandals eventually didn’t survive all the long walks I did in them and needed to be replaced, with similar sandals. I also added my current favorite sunglasses. I still have the old ones, but don’t wear them much at the moment.

Just a few changes this time, but which version do you prefer? Also, If you like this you might like to follow me on Instagram and Pinterest for  more regular updates, or shop my illustrated postcards and other papergoods on Etsy.
