Description ...of broken dreams? No! Of clothes and shoes and cute little brick buildings XD

This is my entry for the contest. The theme this time around is "guilty pleasures".

I chose this subject because it's not something you'd expect of me if you saw me on the street. You wouldn't think, "now there's a girl who likes clothes"-- but it's true! I love fashion, funky clothes, and especially shoes... it's just that I rarely have the finances to buy anything really cool, and on top of that I tend to be very self-conscious. But I can dream! So there it is --my guilty pleasure.

EDIT Many many thanks to all those who voted for my piece in the contest! I'm so sorry I did not get to thank you all sooner, but I experienced some sort of bug. I did not get an alert for the journal that announced the end of the contest! How awful is that?! Please forgive me for any confusion I might have caused! I really truely love you all.

Copic and Prismacolor marker, acrylic ink (for line art), white paint (for highlights), and a watercolor wash for the bg with shading and details added in marker.

OMG, I'm so sorry! It looks like you were right! Somehow my message center glitched and I didn't learn about the end of the contest 'till just now. I missed the whole thing! D:

I just wanted to apologize for my stupidity and thank you once again for your comment.

That's marker?! I wish I could do that with marker, it's beautiful.

The clothes are really cool and the idea of the picture is too.

I also don't seem like a fashion girl but I do love clothes and designs. Same reason as you though, self-conscious. >__>

Thanks!

If I could, I would make that outfit and where it around... then I'd realize how silly I looked and would be embarassed XD.
