The Skirt is Greener…
It’s easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to others and that’s definitely one thing I’ve always struggled with. Sometimes doing so is motivating, but at the same time, it can also be discouraging as it might just end up making you feel like you will never be as successful/rich/pretty/etc. as others. Because of this realization, I’m constantly trying to make sure I focus on doing what I like and what I’m passionate about, rather than doing things only…

Cameo Appearance
Usually when I put together an outfit, jewelry is the thing I put on once I figure out what I’m wearing. But today, it was the complete opposite as I searched for something to wear with this amazing Princess Leia necklace. As I tried to look for something a little more “proper”, I ended up going with this peter pan collared dress to complete the look. I’m definitely a big fan of peter pan collars – and mixed with some…

Paired with a hooded puffer vest, I’m in my ultimate comfort zone. Vests are…

Days of Future Past
You probably know this by now, but I am a sucker for all Jim Lee art.

I was first exposed to his art in the early ’90s when a friend of mine showed me the X-Men series 2 card set. I had never seen anything like it and was hooked on…

Dressing up Batman
Although it’s not impossible to be comfortable and dressed up, it’s something that challenges me on a daily basis. For example, take your basic sweatshirt (or not so basic comic book one), which screams to be worn with some sweatpants or just thrown on with some jeans. I am regularly resisting that urge and trying to find ways to not only wear these kind of tops to work, but also to figure out more than one way to wear them.…

Following the Rules
I typically never make New Year’s Resolutions. It’s not that I don’t believe in them, but I definitely don’t want to make a resolution just for the sake of making one. That doesn’t mean that I don’t believe in setting goals and following through though, especially when it comes to art projects or cosplay, which on a side note may have something to do with why I am also a Project Manager in “real life”. So going back to goals,…
