Funky Fluff’n'Stuff

Posted by doveswanson on April 13, 2008

This outfit isn’t anything amazing, I mostly threw it together just as an excuse to wear my ]monogrind[ mosh and roll shoes (you can see a better picture of them over on Law's blog: Half Arsed), and this too-cool skele beater from Schroodenfrooden (yeah, I say the name of that shop however it pops out of my mouth). Somehow, after picking through my inventory I ended up with something almost girly, but ...oddly, fluffy? Dunno how that happened. It looks cluttered, but honestly, knowing me and my obsession with attachments, if I had taken more time and had more patience, I would have added even more adornments. Since I was goofing for the most part, I slapped on an emoter while taking the photos and had a little fun with that. hehe.

The hair I chose is a longer style than I would normally wear, but it was just funky enough to make the mark. I tinted it darkly because it only comes in a brownish shade, but in photos and the new fucked WL viewer the tinting washes out most of the texture and gives it no depth - so for these photos I lightened it back up some. No, I'm not going brunette, do not worry. :p As you can see, the skele-beater is just fantastic goodness, what's not to love about it? I took a front and back shot because you just have to see how cool it is. I wanted to pair it up with a tattoo because I felt my arms/shoulder area were left too bare but I have this terrible habit of buying tattoos without considering how they will look with most of the clothing in my inventory...so yeah...I end up with tats that are mostly hidden under clothing. I suckzor. Instead, I went with the always fail-safe fishnet layer! Woo!

These shoes were the entire inspiration for this outfit - I just HAD to wear them and needed an outfit in a hurry so I could get them on my feet and parade around in them. I lovelovelove them! They are so much more spectacular in-world - trust me, but yeah, go over to Half Arsed for an even better photo of them. Oh, as a side note - I typically love the hell out of leg warmers of any kind...but I found these in my inventory while trying to find a pair to wear with this outfit ...and I'm not gonna say I'm entirely happy with them. First of all, they're mod but you can't mod them smaller without doing it in pieces because it already has small prims attached to it. Secondly, they're huge and bulky and for a shorter-legged ava, they tend to swallow you whole (even though sometimes I like that dwarfed look on Dove) and forget about bending the knee even slightly, they're going to look like they are jutting from your leg weirdly. I really only kept them in this outfit because they went nicely with the fluffiness of my arm warmers and the string-dangle-ness of my upper-arm wraps. I'll probably be deleting them after I finish wearing-out this outfit.
