If you know what’s good for you, you’ve already been to the <3 Cupcakes freebie hunt, and are gleefully enjoying a closet-full of amazing clothing. The ever-generous Mimi Coral has once again graced us with her beautiful dresses and then some! I thought instead of showing two of the dresses as they were, I’d show you how I’ve been incorporating them into my wardrobe – as high-waisted skirts.
I am a high-waisted skirt fanatic in both lives, and as soon as I tried on the Lori dress it just screamed “SKIRT!”. With the girly poofiness and the bow at the back, it’s very much like a skirt I wear in rl and soo my style – even if the rest of this post isn’t. I always wanted to be a punk or a goth in high school, and here I can play out my fantasy whenever I choose. I’ve been itching to wear this Embellished tee with the bad-ass grinning skull cut-out, and I think I finally found the right way. The beautiful makeup of this Cake skin softened the look immediately, which I tried to emphasize with some messy pale pink curls. I thought these swirly Ice Cream socks were a playful nod to my surroundings, the Carnival of Doom, and my boots were a fantastic freebie from Katat0nik.
For my second look I decided to do something a little more approachable. I loved the detailing on the “Brown Fun” skirt outfit, but I’m not much of a fan of the color. To cover the included tan tank top, I reached for a modifiable jacket-layer shirt with a punch of color, like this plum tunic from Last Call. In “Edit> Appearance”, I then simply raised the hem of my tunic just enough to reveal the skirt, and there you have it – a custom outfit that no-one else will be wearing. My skin and hair are both stunning and free, the new group gift skin from Pixel Dolls and a Fuel style available at Savoir Hair (if you haven’t gone yet, what could be keeping you??). My chunky beaded necklace was also a group gift, from Artilleri; and my butterfly friend and his rose are available free in the Ninfa di Boschi outfit from the very giving Baistice creators. The other beaded necklace is discontinued, a casualty of Last Call, and my ankle boots were a steal at only L$35 from Asri Falcone.
