Punk Nicole

Description

Just a random little something I felt like drawing, and then completing when it turned out adorable. I love that little determined 'I kick butt' expression she has going on there. :D

One of the thoughts I've been playing with for this story is that Nicole's friends kinda make fun of Connor for being 'punk' behind his back, which really annoys Nicole. So when she finally has her epitome moment and starts to hang out with the boys again, one thing she does is dress 'punk' for a while, trying to 'match' Connor (although I have a feeling that he cares little for her style of clothing). It doesn't last, of course, but she's always had this remote interest in the style, so some of it'll stay.

Conversely, this is also what I consider her 'ghost hunting' outfit. Nicole's one of those girls who has to wear the ~*~perfect~*~ outfit when she's going out and doing certain things, so she tends to plan carefully. The idea here is that she's wearing as much black as she can muster so that she won't stand out too much, for whatever reason. The problem being, of course, that she only has so much black, since most of her clothes tend to be on the trendy side. She somehow manages to make it work, though, and look adorable in the process. :D The eyeliner here isn't for the punkish look, but rather because she feels it 'adds' to the look. It's got to be perfect, after all. :P

It's a lot of black, but somehow it really works for her. :O_o: I kinda like it, to be honest. I know it's kinda pointless to wear knee highs and tights, but that's Nicole being weird for you. I do love the striped socks with the Converse look, though. Probably one of those style points that she ends up keeping. ^^;

So yeah, random 'trying to be badass' Nicole for you. Just because.

Ha ha, trust Nicole to over-think a ghost-hunting outfit and try and find the ~*~perfect~*~ one, inadvertently outshining the boys in their usual clothes. ;P

Still, she looks...kind of cute! Maybe cute's not the right word to use if she's purposefully trying to look "punk" (and I think her attempting to dress like Connor is kind of cute, even if a little pointless -- but, as you said, she's always had some vague interest in the style, so this would be a perfect excuse to dabble in it). But Nicole always tends to look cute, to me, so there's not much that can be done about that! As always, love her hair. I also love her shirt too; it might not be strictly black, but the silver swirls look really cool (and I would imagine in low light, they'd catch the light, which would probably look pretty awesome).

I read somewhere that if you want to blend in in the dark, you actually wear a really dark blue, not black (which is too dark), but a lot of people don't know that, so I can understand why Nicole would pick black clothes to blend in. not to mention Connor likes black, so that's as good an excuse as any to wear lots of it. I also love that she doesn't half-ass it, either, and figure if she's going to dress in black, she's going to do it totally, including adding some appropriate eyeliner did she steal it from Jacey when she wasn't looking? >.>

I think the only way she could go any punker is if she dyed her hair black to match (actually, not sure if that's punk so much as emo, but punk girls sometimes dye their hair awesome colours, apparently!) But...maybe that would be too much...you know Connor doesn't care what she dresses like, but if she touches those perfectly blonde ringlets, he might get sad. >.>

Ha, it's a cute picture nonetheless, even if Nicole might be trying a little too much here. She still looks adorable! :D
