Whilst searching through the storage shed the other day on a quest to find our old Play Station 2 and DDR games in an effort to be more active, I found a childhood sketch pad and numerous fashion sketches -though not even close to all of them. Unfortunately they look like they've had some water damage and the marker from that teal ruffle skirt bled through all of them, but if you click to enlarge, you can see full detail.
These make me giggle. I remember drawing most of them, the thought that went into them and the fact that I labeled them "Summer", "Winter", and more specifically, "Night/Winter". I thought they were quite thorough as far as matching coats and accessories and of course, a wedding gown and prom dress.
I don't need to be reminded that I've been into fashion since well before these drawings but it's interesting to me where certain life choices have led me. I think if life has taught me anything in my 33 years it's that when you are passionate about something it will find its way back into your life because that's what makes you happy. No matter how long it takes.
Thanks for allowing me to indulge my passion ;)

I love these. I like these trips down memory lane that you do. I am the same way. It definitely brings you back. Pretty artistic then and you still are today!

fashion is your natural talent!!you were so young and already so amazing! ...maybe you can take one of them and create it now :)
what a fun thing to stumble across! I used to draw little sketches sometimes too when I was little, though I wasn't as good at it or as prolific as you :)
thanks for sharing! these were fun to look at. some I'd like to wear in real life!
Oh Maegan, those are awesome!! I just love finding my old drawings and such. I was a creative kid, too... wait, I'm still creative, just more of a big kid ;) SO much fun!!
Ha. I love it. I think I see a few icecapades outfits in there...
LOL, I was a child fashion designer, too! From 5th-10th grades I filled up notebook after notebook with my "designs". I usually stuck with prom dresses and wedding gowns. Classmates thought I was weird for having tons of pages of "models" in gowns, but I loved drawing them. I never became a designer, though :-( Unless you count my kids' homemade Halloween costumes, which are awesome, btw ;-)
Love the sketches!
umm, my wedding dress looks like one of your sketches...i'm wearing it in dec.
that is so cute. i can't believe you still had them. i used to design clothes too but mine were more pleated skirts and blazers. lol.
I have never commented before but you are so super talented and gifted! I just love looking at your fun ideas and sharing them with friends! You are a cutie! ;)
Ash from Arkansas!
It IS crazy that you have been into fashion for so long! I never thought twice about it...sometimes, still don't. ; )
BTW - I am loving the new colors and definately LOVE the lyric "mmm, it does go well with the chicken". YOU KNOW IT!
aw wow, that's so neat to see that you followed through on your passion. those sketches are adorable by the way :)
Wow, that's pretty darn cool.
I love your fashion sense. I included one of your pics in my post earlier this week (with a link of course). :)

I hope these sketches find their way to a proper framing attire.
Catalog all in an album of plastic sleeves, and frame the best.
This is the history of your natural aesthetic eye. Do your Self justice.
You save all your sketches, I think that is fantastic..... I agree you do have a natural aesthetic eye.
so young and thinking of feather skirts and boots with reversible cane! you're really adorable!
XOXO

I love these! I especially love how you not only drew the dresses and coats, but you also added in all of the accessories! That's pretty fabulous! And I'll certainly read about fashion from you any day! Happy Thursday lady!
you were fab then!
These are so fabulous! :)
These are great...you are obviously following your passion!
Adorable! I especially like the arrow indicating "feathers." Ya know, in case that was unclear.
That's so cool!
Love the sketches.
These are so adorable! You should frame a few in nice frames and display together- so special :)
I used to do this all the time too. I'm sure I could find several scrapbooks full of these sketches in my parents basement. Which I need to clean out and have been avoiding. Ugh.

when you are passionate about something it will find its way back into your life -
soooo true. happening now in a few ways, actually.

It is so true though, We are lucky to notice when it does come find its way back into our lives and expressing ways to enjoy it again.. Love it!!
I love this! I used to do the same thing... I just don't see how it will reasonably fit into my current life, but well.
