Thoughts on Today’s Paper Doll
As I was working on Winter fashion week, I knew I wanted a set of mix and match clothing options. So, a dress, jeans, sweater, skirt and top all seemed like logical pieces to include, plus I liked the idea of something else that could be worn with those super cute navy tights I drew for Tuesday’s outfit.
I’d already done black boots do with with Wednesday’s outfit, so I wanted brown boots to go with today’s outfit.
Inspiration for Today’s Paper Doll
I wanted to mention that I use Pinterest a lot for collecting source images. So, I knew I wanted a skirt and boots, both of those come from Pinterest. The top was my creation. I wanted to keep with my geometric patterns that have been such a strong part of this collection.
Specific Source Images: These boots and this skirt, both of which I found on Pinterest.

Last Thoughts
I’m super psyched to say that tomorrow, I am posting the first outfit and doll for Paper Doll Collab 2019. It’s going to be super fun. Also, there will be an exclusive outfit on Patreon that matches this week’s winter fashion theme.
Have you enjoyed this week? Ready for a break from contemporary fashion? Let me know in a comment.
The articles on belly dancing were interesting. I’m more in the “if you enjoy the artform, and want to learn it, then do it” camp, but that’s coming from someone who’s got a rather diverse European background genetically, so I can’t claim a particular culture to learn about as my own.
I’m glad you found them interesting. My goal, as usual, was to try to present something I found interesting in my belly dancing research. I don’t know if I have a “stance”, exactly, but I was fascinated to learn more about the discussion.
