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.

OOTD: Sequins and Denim

I'm working on my Nelly Haul (which is considerably longer than the Original Future one) but I won't be able to put it up today. In the mean time, I wanted to share a recent outfit along with (part) of my newly redecorated (and still unfinished) main room. I really, really love that look - it's glamorous and yet casual and I love that combination. It was built around the Strike a Pose Stockholm Jacket w Purse, which I like so much, mainly because of the blue bag and the slightly lavender colour but I found a bit challenging to style.

Wear It All Challenge: The Hidden Slit

Yet another dress I never thought I would buy. The graphic is a bit flat and the top part is downright off-putting. I was so focused on that I never gave it second glance. That is until I saw someone somewhere wearing a gorgeous yellow maxi skirt with a hardly visible slit - it was so beautiful - translucent, elegant and oh-so-bright! Imagine my surprise when I realised that was the same ugly MM dress. Still, I was reluctant to buy it - I already had two yellow maxi dresses, both of which with better quality graphics. In the end what really sold it for me was the slit - I've said before how much I like slitted skirts and dresses - they are sexy but stylish and not too revealing and that's hard not to love. 

Styling it was also surprisingly easy - the outfit came together on it's own. The dark blue jacket looks stunning against the colour of the dress, the plain shirt adds for a more casual look and the straps of the sandals make for a great accent.

Wear It All Challenge: Red, White and Denim

As I've stated in my last post on an AmyClaire item, it's un-freaking-believable to find a good picture of their first collection (which was the one promoted on Stardoll).  Way back, when it was released my absolute favourite piece was this dress (and it's yellow equivalent).  Four years later I've come to appreciate the other items that were released back then way more but I still can't help myself loving the high-waited Greek goddess like silhouette. I wish it was still available to re-create in StarDesign! It looks amazing as a stand alone item and at the same time it works pretty well worn as a skirt.  

The best thing about this dress is that it stands just on the line between formal and casual and gives you the opportunity to go bout ways when putting an outfit around it. This is a very relaxed everyday look that would fit right in my real life style - maxi skirt, interesting cleavage, denim jacked, flat sandals and a shoulder purse big enough just for the essentials. I'm also quite fond of the colour combo - red and white have always been one of my staple combinations and the blue adds a patriotic touch (well, not for me personally but for a lot of others).

P.S.: Changed my doll's facial features once again. I'm still not sure if I like the eyes - they look stunning up-close in the Beauty Parlor but from afar... not so much, a bit too small. I'll probably go back to my old look at some point.  

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.
