Wear It All Challenge: Printeresting

I've always liked this... whatever this is - Stardoll call it a blouse but it's way too long. May be a tunic or even a dress (though it's too short to be a decent one, anyway). I don't know! I've worn it only a several times since I first got it and no matter how much I liked it, it always left me uninspired. And, to be honest, the shape of the skirt is somewhat weird and unflattering.
So initially I had some trouble coming up with a way of styling it that would emphasize the lovely elements of it such as the print and the stunning sleeves but the lower part always seemed to draw the focus. It took me some time to find the perfect way to cover it all up because of the high waste of the "blouse" and finally I just dealt with using the belt.
The result is one of my all-time favourite outfits - the colours compliment each other to perfection, he look is sleek and elegant with a very discrete bohemian chic to it and it's just revealing enough to be sexy but not ostentatious.

Wear It All Challenge: A Wish for Summer

Anyone who has been following this blog know how much trouble I have with these dresses - I love the shape but they are way too short for my taste and that's it. So this time around I decided to use them as a resort where. After all, the only place where I could wear such a short dress is at the beach. I decided to continue the boho-look from my previous Wear It All post with earthy tones and exotic prints.

OOTD: Printed

I really wanted to showcase that bag - I'm so happy I decided to get it! It works so well with this lovely simple, yet stunning printed dress and I wanted to keep the focus on the print so I just added plain black heels and called it a day.

Wear It All Challenge: Widow's Wail

This dress is inspired by Alexander McQueen's Fall collection way back in 2006. The clothes were inspired by the designer's Scottish origins and is refereed to as Widows of Culloden and it was presented under that name in the MET's Savage Beauty exhibition. Unfortunately, the Stardoll version is not as detailed as the original, but it is still gorgeous.

As you can see I tried to imitate the original runaway version as close as possible - from the Victorian collar down to the shoes.Nonetheless, you can go for a more modern look by adding a leather jacket or a nice sweater and it will still be amazing.

Wear It All Challenge: Retro Print

I was tempted to do just one of those dresses and skip the rest but as I was styling the Minidress  (second one) I came up with a few similar outfits and finally I deiced to crate a sort of editorial post with all the seven items I own with the 60's pattern. In other words this is gonna be a long post! The designs are inspired by PPQ 2013 Spring ready to wear collection, the original pieces are shown below. The collection was in StarPlaza for 2 days only and I went a bit overboard when it came out.

Wear It All Challenge: Lips red as blood

As I said the first time I was styling a Basics dress they are damn hard to style! Ever since I started the red section of my closet I've been wanting to combine bloody red with white. And this time it worked like a charm! There is really not anything more to say.

Wear It All Challenge: Marooned Summer

I've always love this dress - it's so beautifully designed and the drape looks so realistic... and I hated styling it! The design does not allow for it to be worn neither as top nor as a skirt and as a dress it is way too short for my taste. I could've decided on a party outfit since I've seen a lot of similar dresses in clubs but it's just too slutty for me.

Edit: After I sent all of last night on style.com I finally found the real life inspiration behind that dress -  Louis Vuitton's spring RTW back in 2009. 

 

The only way I would feel comfortable pulling off that dress in real life is while I'm on a vacation by the sea. I don't why but when I'm away from the city I'm not as concerned with being proper - especially when I'm in sea resort - I don't pack any bras, I wear shorter dresses and so on.

I transferred that part of my personal style on this look and I dare to say I'm quite satisfied with the result.

Fresh summer outfit with a hint of boho chic; fab headpiece and lovely sandals. My favorite part is the bag - it's works perfectly with the rest of the items.

Knitted Floral Vest - Folk*

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!

Wear It All Challenge: Aztec Denim

I actually did this one long ago but my laptop died just before I could save it and I don't remember exactly what items I used the first time. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what items and the second outfit turned out a little less impressive than the previous one. 

This is one of my all time favorites on Stardoll - it's not too short, he print is beautiful and the colors compliment each other perfectly. I wear it both just as a dress or with a shirt over it as shown below and I often add a jacket for texture. With this dress one can never go wrong! It is inspired by this lovely dress by Nasty Gal:

I'm always uncertain of clashing prints but the stripes on the shirt fit quite well with the print of the dress. The colors work together just as well. I will talk more about the amazing design of the shirt whenever I reach the tops section of my closet. The clutch is as lovely as it gets and it gives me an Indian vibe so I think it fits into picture just right. The shoes, I'm not sure about - in real life I would've chosen ankle boots similar to those the model has but on Stardoll I couldn't resist going for platforms.

Wear It All Challenge: Spotted

That was quite boring to style. The dress is inspired by Emporio Armani's S/S 2010 Ready-To-Wear collection and it's cute in it's own way. Unfortunately, not in my way.

As much as I like clashing colors I just don't appreciate these two shades together. I just styled for the sake of the project and I don't think I'll ever wear it again. The shoes, on the other hand, I adore!

Wear It All Challenge: Peachy Dilemma

This one turned out easier than I imagined it would be.This dress was from the third Antidote collection released in Starplaza and in my opinion it was the nicest item in the store. The floral motive is subtle and adorable but the black lining and the cut in the chest area ruin it for me. 

Therefore I decided to take the adorableness of the print and hide the upper part I so dislike by using the dress as a skirt. This lead to two almost identical outfits - I considered both colors for the bustier and the loose silk shirt and I just couldn't decide which one I like better so I'm posting both.

The first look is not from my closet but the outfit I'm currently wearing. It's quite simple with the only accent being the LE cardigan. I particularity like the gold details - the chain of the belt, the buttons of the cardigan, the shoelace holes and the YSL logo on the bag - I find that they add a sense of luxury to the otherwise basic black and white outfit.
