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: Plaid Fur

The first time I saw this dress it was in pandorascloset suite layered under a ton of other stuff and I fell in love with the print. But once I saw the dress itself I wasn't so sure - the shape is a bit odd, the design is quite flat and the breasts look just weird - there was no way I was paying a bunch of Stardollars for it in the Bazaar! Since then I've seen it around a few more times and it always looked amazing on other users so when it finally got re-released in Callie's Picks I went ahead and bought it for myself. 

I really like this outfit - the fur vest covers the odd parts of the dress and it looks amazing with the print and the boots... Let me tell you a little bit about these boots - they are so beautifully designed, so perfect to look at and so damn impossible to style! They are way too sexy to be worn with anything revealing, too well fitted to be used over trousers, too beautiful to be hidden under wide-leg pants or maxi skirts.  And for the first time ever I was able to balance them just right - the high collar dress is not too short (I've stated my issue with skirt lengths), the fur vest hints on my doll's curvy shape but the boots are what makes it sexy!

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.
