I'm gonna be owlright

what i wore: fan patterned dress (old) from Francesca's Collections, red boots thrifted, owl ring from garage sale, and claw bracelet from eBay

I feel like I've been breaking out all my Francesca's Collections dresses lately. I got this dress a few years ago. Although it doesn't fit my bust as well anymore, I still love it. This fan pattern is what caught my eye. It's just such a gorgeous print and the colors are wonderful. Oh, and this outfit just screams owls to me. I think the pattern on the dress somewhat resembles feathers, the talon bracelet is very owl-like and of course my owl ring just tops off my owl-inspired outfit. What a hoot!

So, yesterday I made the decision to drop yet another class so that I could only take one. It turns out I didn't even need the one I dropped so it's a win/win situation. Now if only I hadn't dropped my painting class. At least that gives me an excuse and motivation to paint at least one thing this summer, and hopefully more. I'm very thankful for this new found free time. I'm hoping that it gives me the chance to get my etsy shop going again! We shall see.

What do you do with your free time? Do you have any exciting projects you are working on!?

Tropical floral dress in the sun

what i wore: tropical floral dress from Francesca's Collections, yellow silla flats c/o BAIT footwear, Encanto blue tagua ring from DMAC giftshop and hedgehog ring from Brett is a Girl

These photos are from yesterday. I finally got to take some photos during the magic hour! I had a nice day off relaxing and running errands with my brother. I have not really been doing much, except working on my internship and doing schoolwork for my online classes. So you may or may not know my juice fast only lasted 4 days. I will probably attempt it again at a later time, but I am still going to continue to juice! I do love it, and it makes me feel better overall. I am attempting to work on my health still, you can follow along with my healthy eating on instagram. I am also cutting back on shopping, and I need to clean really badly, but of course I've been putting that off.

Do you have anything you've been putting off?! Any cleaning motivational tips?

Evolution of my painting via instagram v3

So, this is another piece within my entomophobia series, if the first two sketches look familiar, it is because I've already shown them here on my blog. I based this painting off of the lithograph I made, which you can view here. I still have a few more drawings to show you, so stay tuned! Also, I hope that I will be able to create some more for the series this summer. If not, I will definitely be working on an installation for this series in the upcoming Fall semester. I think this is my favorite painting I've done so far. You can see my other paintings here and here. Also, keep up with my art and life through instagram, my username is: meanzchan, or my you can view all those photos on my ink361 too! View some of my other studio art work here.

Once again, here is my favorite wrap dress ever! It is just a feel good dress. So as you may know, this will be my 4th day of a juice fast that I am doing. I haven't decided how long it will go, but I'm feeling absolutely amazing right now! You can follow along and view some recipes I've created in the process on instagram, username: meanzchan, or you can also view the photos on Ink 361.
