New Vocabulary Words and a Mystery...



Time to learn a new vocabulary word kids! This shirt is an example of a trompe l'oeil. It's kind of like a fancy french way of saying optical illusion but it's specifically one in which a two dimensional image is made to look realistic or three dimensional. Hence the screen printed image of sunglasses on my v-neck is meant to look like a real pair of sunglasses hanging there. Good times.

Anywho, this is a shirt from the Vans store that was on sale so I snagged it up while I was shopping for shoes. I'm wearing it today as sort of part of a costume because my friend Katy is having a favorite celebrity themed dress up birthday party (Happy Birthday Katy!). Feel free to guess who I might be dressed as. If I remember I'll post a picture tomorrow of the complete thing.

I know, I know!

But it's because you told me... so I'm probably disqualified.
