Wear It All Challenge: See Right Through

I've always had issues with see-through dresses, I don't mind sheer blouses but dresses are too much for me. That being said, that dress is oh-so-cute - the ruffles cover the right places, the colors compliment each other quite all but still - I'd never wear this is real life. It's from Sonia Rykiel's 2009 RTW collection (and by the way, do you recognize the beret? It's one of the most wanted old HBs).

As for styling it... that was hard - the sleeves get in a way when you try to put a shirt or a jacket over, the visible underwear  looks odd when you try to put something under it and bras just look odd under the ruffle on the breasts. Therefore I saw no choice but to keep the outfit simple. Still, I didn't want the look to be too plain and the Flowly Lock gave the additional flare to the hair. 

To keep everything in balance I decided to focus on the two colours of the dress - I used the pink in the hair and on the lips and the red in the accessories.

Wear It All Challenge: Burgundy Business

While preparing this post I was surprised to realize that The Sonia Rykiel Tribute store consisted of items inspired by not just one but a few real life collections. This amazing dress was part of the resort collection back in 2011. Pretty as a picture, isn't it?I'm crazy about the sheer sleeves.

As much as I love the design, I find it a bit limiting - it's so beautiful I don't want to cover any part of it. To avoid that I choose to pair it with the Chanel hung up blazer and I think they work together pretty well. I decided on a formal business lady look - by the way you will see a lot of outfits in this style. I'm a huge House of Cards fan and Claire Underwood's style is flawless and even tough her black and white minimalistic style is quite difficult to translate to Stardoll I'll give my best and add a few colors.

Wear It All Challenge: Crimson Rose

I've always loved this dress! I often wear it with as a top with the Lavin Scarlet skirt tribute but this time around I decided to focus just on it. The dress was released on Stardoll back in February 2010 and was part of a store which was advertising one of the first collections of the American fashion brand AmyClaire. This particular dress was later released as a freebie so there is a good chance you can find it in the Bazaar for a reasonable price.

By the way, it was quite difficult to find proper photos for most of pieces in the collection, but I manged :)

Initially I wanted to pair the dress with something white, maybe a shirt or a blazer, but once I tried this trench out I knew they were meant to be together! As you can see I learned from my mistake in the previous post and I put this beautiful red lipstick. To top all that I added a stunning rose headpiece and adorable necklace. And the clutch - as cute as it gets!
I'm more than happy with the final result - the ever fashionable black/red combo is classy but the outfit still looks fresh and youthful thanks to the unusual accessories.

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.
