All mixed up & ready to go…

how many styles can you count?  you can't even see them all in this shot
After I took the pictures I had to take I decided to take a few shots just for fun…
I’d suddenly gotten curious about what it would look like to layer contrasting stripes so I pulled on of my sheer horizontal pink stripes over my black & light pink vertical stripes, then I spied a pair of the sheer black vertical stripes and put one on the other leg and topped it with the other sheer pink, I couldn’t stop there, I put on two different mary janes, then I topped the stocking collage with four different sock garters, two on each leg, oh, and don’t forget those cute little warmers I’ve been making this week, they’re reversible! (now I just need a serger so I can make enough to share)
50 or so shots later I knew I had my new Bust ad, I just had to figure out which one…
For Bust Magazine's April/May issue
I had a much simpler version all ready to go, but this one image says so much with so few words that I decided to go with it, even though a part of me feels like it is too busy. It was really fun to put all these different bits together and no, we don’t actually sell a few of those, but we will…

    I have big calves but my legs are very short (Im tiny >.< lol) So pink knees on short legged big calved ppl are maybe 4 inches over the knee-ish.

    that’s probably why they actually make it otk on me…i have skinny calves…i should probably do some hiking to beef ‘em up, lol!

    I just adore that skirt with those sockies… I love that you get the stripey view from behind. :O) nice!!

  4. Babylon Says:

    my pink knees(which are so cute in the pink & natural) are more on the knee than over the knee, I must have freaky long legs or something lol

  5. shelleopard Says:

    mine are *right* above the knee, so maybe it’s more a freaky-sock-length issue! ;)

  6. shelleopard Says:

    oh, and i’m sure the guest paws are sufficiently pleased with themselves for having gotten into the shot. even frank’s toes are hammy! xD

  7. Niqkita Says:

    Sweet! I love that you have a skirt to match those!
    and I always love guest paws in the shots >^..^

  13. shelleopard Says:

    YAY! you like the new garters!!! :D (shhh, they’ll be in for you to buy in just a little while–must wait on my supplies to come in) for now, we’re only doing the little purple rosebuds on coffee-colored elastic (tan being not the greatest name for that pretty color). :)
