Wear It All Challenge: The Modern Twist

I'm so sorry for my absence but I was super busy with my papers and my finals afterwards I really didn't have that much free time on my hands. Anyway, my exams are almost over and I have a few outfits that I have prepared  beforehand. So, allow me to bore you to death with a bunch of boring red dress looks.

This bejewelled dress is a gem itself, inspired by Chanel Pre-Fall collection back in 2012, it was part of the Bollywood Film Theory release that, unfortunately is no longer in StarPlaza. As gorgeous as it is, it's quite impractical both in Stardoll and in real life.To be honest I prefer it in grey but the shoulders of the original are too odd for my taste. On the other hand, I can't deny that the way the fabric drapes is breathtaking.

The main reason I prefer the Stardoll version over the original is that they have tuned down the shoulder pads and it looks way better fitted. I know that it is inspired by Inidan fashion but to me it has always looked like something a Byzantine empress would wear (mainly because of the mosaic like top part) or, may be a rich Roman noblewoman would treasure during the ban on silk in the Empire. I tried to convey that idea in the outfit by using simple yet eye-catching gold jewellery and indigo accessories, which as you know was a rare and exquisite dye back in the days. On the other hand, the sort length of the dress adds to a more modern yet sophisticated look.

Wear It All Challenge: Pumpkin Statement

I'm gonna have hell of a bad time styling all those Basic dresses. Don't get me wrong - I do love them and I have all of them - they are beautifully designed, well fitted and the vibrant colors are gorgeous but they are a bit too short for my taste and are not as easy to combine with other skirts/tops as they seem. 

I've been experimenting with different combinations for hours until I finally settled on this outfit. Initially I had something more youthful in mind - white lace skirt and a amazing floral clutch but it didn't work as I imagined it. Then I decided to clash the tangerine dress with turquoise or teal accessorizes. I gave it try but the I found the result unsatisfying. 

While I was browsing through my huge shoe collection this pair caught my attention. I've always liked  them but I don't think I've ever used them. Finally I had something to go on - not the bright shades of turquoise but the depth of the dark royal blue. My desperate search for accessorizes in that scheme brought me to by Beauty parlor where I found this stunning statement necklace. 

The last decision to be made was whether to combine the dress with the peplum shirt or the maxi skirt and I went with the top just because the neckline fitted better with the necklace.

Overall, I'm incredibly happy with the final result - the colors compliment each other perfectly and make an otherwise simple (and quite cheap) outfit look glamorous and classy. I think this look is an perfect example of how a carefully chosen accessory can add an WOW factor to every outfit.
