Summer Day Style 2024, In Drawings, Of Course.

The Things I Can’t Get Enough Of This Summer.

After many months of mostly rain, summer days are finally here…Yay! This is an illustration of some of my favorite items, that I wear and consume all the time. I love being on, in and near the water so my mismatched bikini is one of my most worn items. While I’m doing these water activities I usually bring food for a small picnic. This always includes a fresh baguette, a few cheeses and a bottle of rosé wine. I still adore this vintage picnic bag that I bought for almost nothing, years ago.

I hope you’re also enjoying the sunny weather! I will try to update here a little bit more often, but I can’t make any promises.😉

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?

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

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?

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?

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.

What I Wore (In Drawings) And How I Wear It Now. Part 3.

This is the third 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 June page on my birthday calendar. Below the original drawing. This outfit is so “me” that I would still wear everything, except maybe the bikini top. I also drew a lipstick on the original one, that I don’t actually wear. In the new version I replaced it with a berry freestyle tint from The Body Shop, and the ring (I never wear any anymore) with earrings and piercings. I also choose my Pizza for President tote bag for this one, another long time favorite.

Just a few small 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.
