Trend Creation: Sheer

As usual, I popped into the Starplaza to see what I could find.
I made 7 outfits in general, and two starcoin outfits which I put at the bottom.

Under 35 : All That Glitter (Gold)

I'm doing Gold today, and Silver next week. I decided to use AshleighDana so that all of the outfits would have to be non-ss friendly!

Again I used a total amount of under 35 sd, on a theme in the Starplaza - note than any USD bras, hair, and makeup used aren't included when I counted up the price.

OneTimesTwo : Vinyl Mock Neck A Line Dress

Sorry I've been a bit lacking on these posts lately, I've just had way too many other things to think about... anyway, these are going to be on Tuesdays now since Tuesday is the Second day of the week and I'm doing not one but two stylings of an item, on my different dolls. It just made sense.

I'm also starting from today on to make all starcoin items I use, to be listed with an asterisks (*).

This time on Sunnysidessue I ended up going for a very silver theme while AshleighDana has a more silver look.

Both have sheer panels and shoulder bags.

Sunnysidessue:

Vinyl Mock Neck A Line Dress*

Anna Sui Black Lace Skirt

Pretty N' Love Burgundy Purse*

Fallen Angel Chain Necklace*

Nelly High Heel Platform Boot

AshleighDana:

One Times Two

Decided to make this a regular Wednesday thing. Also, decided on a new title and I'll be adding some proper filter tabs later.

Basically with this I'm just using one item, in my suite - but it's with both dolls. It's almost definitely going to be sc items most weeks since that's the most affordable way of doing it at the moment.

This week the item is the Pretty N' Love Classic Wool Pant.

Trend Creation: Up Top Ties

I did the Up Top Ties trend review last week, so if you haven't read that yet, you an go check it out HERE.

I used AshleighDana for this one since Sunnysidessue is currently rocking long hair, which kept covering over the ties which are supposed to be the featured item in this post.


There were a lot of these in the plaza, which was cool, so because of that, I had to split the outfits up into two images. So, please click the "read more" button so you can actually see the whole post!

One Shirt ,Two Dolls

I don't use AshleighDana all that often since she's non-ss, but sometimes it's fun to play with the stuff both my dolls have in their wardrobes. It's cool because I definitely have different stuff in each and I think I like using what I already own rather than the plaza, so I get more of a limited amount of things to use, though it's a bit harder.

I went with the Pearls : Oxford Shirt and rather ended up going mostly monchrome for both looks.

Trend Creation: Jeans +

I did a Trend Review earlier this week on Jeans under Skirts and Dresses. Today, I'm styling it in the Plaza, and since I was already making this I took on to the internet and found a couple of tips and ideas as to how this trend could be done a bit more stylishly than just any old combination.

Tip 1: Silhouettes Matter

If you have a skirt with a lot of movement and volume to it, a great contrast - and more flattering shape - is definitely a straight, boyfriend, or skinny jean style so you get the long leg look like when you wear a pair of tights, or tall socks. If it's a more structured skirt, a straight or flared leg can really work well too.

Tip 2: Jeans are NOT neutrals

This one I figured out from quite a few...unfortunate outfits. Unless they're black, most jeans aren't a neutral, so pairing them like they are won't work. I'd say a good thing to check out is the Colour Wheel Theory to get ideas of how analogous, complimentary and neutral colours can look good when put together.

Tip 3: Focus on Waistlines

I've done this with the above outfits, but basically the smaller you make a waist look, the longer your legs are, and that's always great. With the jeans over skirts look this is a really great chance to bring back those old peplums from the deep end of your closet. Bonus, bellbottoms and flares look really good with peplums, with or without a skirt.

Tip 4: If Unsure, Go Back to Black

Dresses and skirts with black opaque tights or leggings will almost never go wrong. The same goes for black jeans - if you want to try the shape and style out of the trend it's a safe place to start since most people won't even notice that they're jeans at all.

Under 35: ft. Wild Candy

Again I used a total amount of under 35 sd, on a theme in the Starplaza - note than any USD bras used aren't included when I counted up the price.

This time I made sure I had at least one piece being used from Wild Candy in each look. Unfortunately I couldn't do an item list being non-ss on AshleighDana so I can't add the items to the cart.

Chatting With Self

I really miss the Suite Chat feature which let you use other people's wardrobes. That was a lot of fun and useful as well. Now all you can do is wander around and shift some furniture. It's totally useless and it's not really ever going to get used, so I guess Stardoll will get rid of it totally at some point.

As someone with two dolls it's a cool thing to be able to try the stuff you have out on the one, or just in general seeing what other people's items are on you. Now that we can't do that I'm not really sure of why the Suite Chat is still there.

Trend Review : Velvet

Velvet is such a craze at the moment. Pants, skirts, shirts, dresses, shoes, bags, chokers - if you can wear it, there's probably one out there made of velvet.

In Life:

Even though it's all over magazines and runways, I've so far not seen anyone just wearing it casually. As a kid, it was all the rage, but as an adult I'd only ever seen it in shops and shelves, not on real people. I think it looks awesome, bu it's just not a very practical thing to wear, or to wash.

In Stardoll:

Stardoll is a whole different thing when it comes to trending things. Velvet is definitely popular, there's enough of it left over from previous years as well as new ones so there's plenty to choose from. The best thing is that practicality is irrelevant, which is why this is so much more of a stardoll presence than a real-life one. Velvet is everywhere! It looks good, it's subtle, and I like it.

What do you think about this trend?
