Wear It All Challenge: Bohemian Sheer

This dress gave me a hard time, not only because I was uninspired styling it but I also had incredibly hard time failing to find the real-life inspiration behind it. I found a couple of similar once but nothing as close enough to put here. 

I bought it a few years ago after I saw an amazing outfit on a doll I admire. However pandorascloset's style is very different from my own and from me it did not seem right to make an edgy look with such a romantic piece. Instead, I went for a bohemian style based on pastels. I was very pleased to put that lovely vest to use.

Wear It All Challenge: Biker Tango

I really do like this dress even though the graphics are a bit flat and the design itself lefts a lot to be desired. But that gorgeous long slit makes up for all of this. You can make so much with it: put lace shorts underneath for a nice peek-a-boo detail, wear long stockings, reveal a leg tattoo as I did or take a page out of the amazing Miloski's Best Bargee Bar None and use a necklace as a garter. I have no idea why slit skirts and dresses are such a rare sight on Stardoll. They add sexiness to an outfit without making it too revealing or slutty.
I went for an edgier styling with a biker touch, lots of tattoos, silver details and a tartan accent.

P.S.: Does anyone have any clue about the real life version of the dress? I found a few similar ones but nothing close enough to be featured here.

Wear It All Challenge: The Tartan Shirtdress

I love shirtdresses - long or short, long-sleeved or sleeveless, plain or checked - it does not matter! It's a pity that Stardoll has so few of them. I was looking for the original real life version but there are so many similar dress I couldn't determine which one is the one that inspired Stardoll. Just google it and be inspired!

Edit: After a bit of research I think I managed to find the original dress. It is designed by D&G and was worn by Isla Fisher in Confessions of a Schopacholic. Later it is also seen in the second season of Gossip Girl on Tylor Momsen. Credit goes to seen on STARDOLL.

I went for an outfit with a bit of edge but decided not to add fishnet stockings - this is something I'd be more inclined to wear in real life and I wanted to keep it as close to my wardrobe as possible. Instead I added a huge handbag, as the once I prefer myself and a wide studded belt to give the dress a better, more fitted shape.

Wear It All Challenge: Pin-up Polka Dots

This piece, inspired by Anna Sui 2012 spring collection  just screams Pin-up! I had little choice but to roll with it. Looking back it still hurts me to think that I've paid 23 Stardollars for it but... it's so pretty! This is one of the few items I like better on Stardoll rather than in real life but I do wish the color was a bit brighter red. 

Given that the Stardoll version is quite shorter than the traditional 50's dresses I went for a more up-to-date look inspired by the modern tattooed pin up models. The cherry tattoo fit's the intent perfectly. I decided on patent leather accessories in order to give the outfit that glossy and fabulous look and I added the hear-shaped glasses... because I love the song! Just now I realize I should've put on a red lipstick but...I'm to lazy to do that now!
