Ugly Duckling: Red Bag

Usually, my Uglies posts are about freebies - but a glitched, old-graphic bag in starcoins is a pretty good alternative. Earlier today, I wrote a post for Stardoll's Most Wanted explaining this bag, and how to get it. It's several levels of weird - firstly, why has it been released again? Second, what's with the different plaza versus purchase price? And thirdly, why can we only buy one? Fourth of course is, why this bag and not something cuter? So many questions, and zero answers.

The worst part about this items ended up being the colour. It was just far too difficult to match to anything. As anyone woho's ever been in, watched, or helped judge the cycles I've been involved with, you know it's a big deal when even I give up on trying to colour match and item.



For the first look, I adapted a room style. I just wanted a clean, basic, mochrome look with a featured bags. The lace up tights reflect the bag pattern nicely.

For the second look, I wanted to bring in some of the old graphic style items that I own, as well as more of that red. This skirt was as close a colour match from the "new" graphics styled items as I've been able to find.

For the third look, I wanted to challenge the bold bag with a different colour - navy. It's still subtle, but it's not black, and the sleeve/neckline on the shirt are a near perfect match for the bag. The white chunky boots and jewel hair add some texture, and again the tights - this time, fishnets - match the diamond bag design.

For the last look, I was aiming for an outfit that speaks for itself - the kind of outfit the bag is styled into, rather than around. I actually really like the concept of layering a print under the sheer ruffle top, and the floral jeans have colours to tie into both the top and bag.

Which look was your favourite?
