Tank Tops & Long-Sleeved Tees Perfect for Layering

Wednesday, March 18th, 2015

I have a lot of graphic tees with cute or funny designs on them, as well as a lot of oversized tees that hang loosely around the shoulders and sleeves. One thing I always want to do with them is layer a contrasting color underneath, and here are some perfect “lower layer” clothes for doing that with! The extra advantage of the long-sleeved ones is that it makes your cute graphic tees wearable even in Winter~!

Pretty Lace Tank Top in Pastel Colors

LOOK at how pretty those soft pastels are, and that sweet ruffled lace!
Those little details would be so perfect peeking out from under your clothes!

Lightweight Draping Candy Color Tank Top

*O* Those colors are so rad!!  I like the lightweight fabric of this one, too!
The sleeves being so open doesn’t matter so much when the objective
is to wear an oversized t-shirt over this~

The colors for this one are very neutral, BUT, look at how darn cute it is
having the bottom of this hanging under your top like a skirt!

There are a lot more than are even pictured there!

Long Cozy Dress Top with Polka Dots

Both of these last two achieve the same thing –
a good black base (matches almost everything) with cute pink (or white) print!
If you put a pink top over this, it makes a fun patterned background!

Retro SEGA Games on Steam

Monday, March 16th, 2015

Retro games from SEGA that you may have memories from in your childhood – or if you don’t, then here’s your chance to make new ones~

As usual, I recommend getting Steam games through G2A, where you can buy Steam keys for much cheaper!

Sonic Adventure DX

Sonic Adventure DX

Some of the most way-past-cool Sonic cheesiness comes from this game,
which is when Sonic at his best.  A classic.
I already have the Station Square music repeating in my head just thinking about it.

Landstalker

Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole

This one, a lot of folks probably missed, but it’s one of the cool RPG memories of mine.
Nigel is cool enough that he got to be included in the cast of a later RPG of Sega’s on the Dreamcast,
called Time Stalkers, which is a terrible game, but it’s one of my most favorite terrible games.
I have a lot of favorite terrible games.

Jet Set Radio

Jet Set Radio

This is hip and funky and way too cool for me –
I’m just not cool enough to promote something this funky fresh.
It’s awesome – check it out if you like music, and graffiti, and roller skating.

Shining Force

Shining Force

Another important RPG I have strong memories of.
Shining Force is like Fire Emblem’s goofy younger brother that you were friends with at school
while his cool older brother went to a different school.
And years later, you’re like, “Dude wtf I didn’t know you had an older brother!”

I do still love the characters in this one, though.
I did lots of drawings and doodles of them in the margins of note paper
while I was a young schoolgoing lass.
