Ugly Duckling: Yay, Glitches!

This one was a toss-up - cute pink socks, or Fudge body? So I went with both! Seriously, what's up with these glitches lately? Not that I'm complaining.

For the first look, I went straight to the 80s with denim overalls and sneakers. Why not? The body definitely has the right print and colours. Not my normal look, but I think it works well enough for this bodysuit. For the second look, I attempted to bring the peach colour of the suit into the outfit - which I'm not super happy with the results of, but oh well.

As far as colours go, pink is definitely not my favourite - but I do like a good pop of colour, so for my first look, I paired them with another pink items and otherwise black items. For the second look, I decided to contrast this, and added in a variety of different shades of pink, with white compliments.

Ugly Duckling: Glitched Items

Today, not one, but two old Fudge items re-appeared in the plaza. Even more interesting is that, this time, you can actually buy them.

I decided to style the Fudge Boys Not Working jumper. Being a male item, and having a giant turtleneck thing going on, it was a little tricky at first to try and layer around.

For the first two looks, I attempted to cover it up as much as possible while still showing the texture of the shirt. Neither one is ideal, though, as I'd prefer to see much more of the top. The second look, I layered a coat over - which I'm currently selling - and the result was... not awful. But far too bulky for my personal tastes, not not particularly unique looking. The last look is my personal favourite, as I decided to feminize the style with a skirt, thigh-highs and statement flats, which worked well to both show off the Not Working piece, while stopping it from looking top-heavy.

Which one did you like the most?

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?
