Dear YLF,
Sorry for being sparse, but my SYB continues and I have been doing okay, including picking up two extra shifts and have been teaching the med students to stretch my SYB a little bit! One of the things I picked up on a whim was this doodle/sketch book called "What I Wore Today" in which you are encouraged to draw your outfits for an entire year! This sounds quite daunting, although you only pick key outfits for a particular season - with that in mind, I just picked some of my favorites per clinical rotation.
#1 - Internal Medicine
#2 - Public Health
Some of my new picks I have been working for as a treat, and the rest of it into savings! I'm such a big girl now! LOL.
#3 - Slouchy boots which will hopefully take me into spring; I will miss my tall riding boots! Such a staple! Aldo; about $80.
#4 - I have been in love with the nautical trend and navy and Kate Spade-esque things lately, so I thought this would make a nice addition to my navy capsule! Closet UK; about $50 after discounts.
#5 - One of my coworkers had these and they looked simply fabulous! I used to never wear gold-toned earrings or accessories, but I like the way they look in the summer! Multiple shops; about $4.80 at Forever21.
#6 - I have a similar dress in a straight sheath (#7), but I really like the flare! Couldn't say no to a party/fancy dress that I could just throw on! BB Dakota; only $20 on clearance!
PS: No luck so far in the dating world. Sigh.
A silly WIW ... an update, and a new book!

I LOVE your book! Especially the note at the bottom of Public Health. I may have that tattooed somewhere....

Great new additions to the wardrobe - those boots are dreamy. -
I love your book too! You draw really well - what a fun idea. And great buys.

You are hilarious, not to mention clever and beyond cute. I love the earrings...they remind me of something Diana (I think) showed us last year? And I also love the dresses!

Adorable notebooks. -
You are the best, Lyn! Love your drawings, and yes, you ARE a rockstar!

What a fun book! The dresses are great; I really like 'em.

The sketches are so fun! I love your pattern mixing in #7 the dots and paisley. You are a wonder at pattern mixing! "Funk that I'm a rockstar!" Love it!

Those sketches are funny and cute. I love the slouchy boots and nautical dress and can see them working really well for you.

Just saying....

Lyn, you have a superb sense of humor. I wish i lived closer so i can experience your humor irl.
Love you in a fit and flare.
-
I love the sketches! Except you need to roll up the sleeves in public health - infection control hazard.

Tee hee. I'm not a good drawer, so there's a lot of outtakes as well. Some of them are pretty painful.

@ Nayda - oh, the boots are so dreamy! I hope there aren't too many puddles!
@ Linda - I should show you guys the bad pics too! :)
@ Suz - Now, now, no overdosing on cute :) I kind of get bitter about guys calling me cute though - sometimes a girl doesn't want to be like fluffy bunnies, you know?
@ Natalie - Heck yeah, and I won't let anyone forget it!! Haha. I travel with a sharpie for signing autographs. (Actually, I use it to mark limbs or sides for surgery).
@ Rachylou - Me too! I used to hate stripes! Can you imagine??
@ Day Vies - I love pattern mixing too! It's so much fun! Sometimes too much makes me go ... huh? :|
@ Dianthus - I can't wait to wear them together! Slouchy sailor style!
@ Runcarla - I think I'm going to take a break from dating right now, although I'm always open to meeting new friends :)
@ Bj1111 - I think my friends have had enough of my humour for now!
@ Nicole D - The funny thing is, I haven't touched a single patient in public health! It's weird. I don't think I really get public health - I'm more about health on the individual patient level than at a population level, I think! -
That black and white dress is gorgeous. I want it!

You are too cute for words, Lyn!

Fun boots (spray them for protection and ignore the rain) and lovely dress which is totally you! -
Thanks for posting your awesome notebooks! Lovely to see the genesis of an ensemble!

You are so talented at drawing! I can only draw stick figures :(
Karie replied 11 years ago
Fantastic purchases, I think you will get a lot of wear out of them. Both dresses are beautiful, I love the fit and flare style. -
You're pattern mixing with the best of them, Lyn! An adorable outfit. Great new finds too! I want to see your hair down asap. Pretty please.
Angie replied 11 years ago
Your drawings are hilarious and so fun! I enjoyed looking at them, and reading your blurb. I noticed a little potty-mouth! You're a rock star in my book too :)
-
Oh my word - I need that note book! And I love your sketches - so cute!
Hil replied 11 years ago
Those boots are fabulous! -
Lyn, I LOVE this! Your drawings are entertaining, fun, and so....good! You are a multi-talented mini-doc for sure.
nancylee replied 11 years ago
Looking forward to more illustrations. :) -
Love #7, so cool! And your sketches are great, they make me feel happy! You have a creative streak for sure.

And cupid is speaking to me from my crystal ball ... I see someone tall, dark and handsome in your future! -
@Gennifyr - I'm waiting for it to be on sale, but it comes in other colours too! The brand is Closet UK :)
lyn* replied 11 years ago
@Kiwichik - tee hee, they were very fun!
@Sveta - I have a bottle of spray ready for my boots to come home!
@Kirshnidoux - Some of the pics are quite terrible ;)
@ Karie - there are outlines you can just trace over in the notebook! Usually, I just draw stick figures.
@ Angie - Tee hee, I am definitely potty-mouthed. I have to cut back though, I almost let one loose in front of a patient - and then I actually did! I try to only potty on weekends now. I also need a hair cut, it's quite bushy when I leave it down. Like Hermione.
@ Hil - They are supposed to arrive this week, I can't wait!
@Nancylee - I can also tapdance too! Jk!
@ Cocolion - :) Well, then, I'd better get some pretty dresses ready! -
Thistle replied 11 years ago
I love the new frocks. You are a bargain hunter extraordinaire too!
The look book sounds fun, and it will be interesting to see what it says about your style and its evolution.

Thistle replied 11 years ago
So, I really like #4. As seen by the dress I recently bought myself http://www.talbots.com/online/.....e=cat70008
I am with you on loving the Kate Spade style, although she doesn't sell in my size so no temptation.
Where is my bargain hunting gene?!? :)

@ Thistle - I'm asian. I'm born with bargain genes!

Hey lyn*, how did the boots work out? I see the original post was a month ago. Just wondering if you got them and what you decided, they look really nice.
