52 Weeks of Color, Week 5!

How are we on week 5 already?! This year is flying by, and it's a little confusing for me. But at least I was able to find something in Patina, thanks to RezIpsa Loc!

And apparently, I already had eyes in something very close to patina, which worked out awesomely! I'm having more luck finding eyes and makeup that match the color than clothes! But look at me being all honey badger about it:

52 Weeks of Color, Week 4!

Took me long enough, huh? And this week's look is... simplistic, at best. I knew right away which gown I wanted to use, but the rest of it just refused to fall into place. Oh well!

Poulet Koenkamp created this gorgeous gown for the winner of her Essence of PurpleMoon contest, which I am definitely entering again next year. It comes in bunches of colors, of course, but this was the one I fell instantly in love with, and it happens to work perfectly for this week's challenge

And then I paired with... I don't know, some stuff. The eyes are my favorite addition, and they're a gift from Fashism in the latest edition of TooSexy magazine - you can pick up a copy in the Fashism mainstore. The skin and hair are ones I've had for ages, and the nails, of course, Mandala. Click through for the full sized version.

Here's hoping for a little more inspiration next week, for the color "patina." (Really, Luna? Meanie! :P)

52 Weeks of Color, Week 3!

This outfit was such a blast to put together, after I realized I had the pants already in my inventory. Of course, that was after a full week of frantic shopping, and purchasing quite a few things I will never wear again. But so it goes. :P

Oh man, the pictures are sizing really small again. Ah well, click through and all that.  Anyway, the pants were a free gifts from Deviance, ages ago, and I kept them because of the texturing, not the color. I'm in love with almost everything Deviance puts out, just because of the intricacy and clarity of the textures she uses. Even just the lines at the edges of her clothing layers - crisp and clean every time.

I may need to do a post just on Deviance... but that's another day! Or later today, if I'm feeling motivated. Today, we're looking at everything I put on that could possibly be called electric indigo. And one of them is another chance find in my inventory, this awesome eyeshadow from Rozena. I love the subtle star patterning in it, and it goes beautifully with the eyes I picked up from Poetic Colors just for this occasion. On sale, even!

Oddly enough, the lingerie was the hardest thing to find in a nice, vibrant indigo. But I couldn't pass up this cute piece from INDI Designs, I'm sure I'll be wearing it a lot.

Thanks again for restarting the challenge, Luna, it's so much fun! Can't wait for next week (even though IRON is going to kill me!).

52 Weeks of Color, Week 2

Ok, I've made it into week 2 without failing, I think that's an accomplishment. :P I have to admit, finding things I like in coral was a challenge. Not because I don't like the color, just because it seems to be less used than other colors. Lots of pink, lots of peach, but that perfect orangey-pink blend just didn't show up. Well, until designers heard about the challenge and hurried to create, I think. There's more coral in the marketplace than there was a week ago.

I was thankful for that, since I'd put together a couple of looks, but not found anything I really loved, until this morning. Luckily, I stumbled across a new-to-me designer with some very nice style.

Mini-dresses can be easily overdone, which is why I appreciate the clean lines, original accents, and the design that's reminiscent of those blocky fabric prints I love so much, without being overwhelming. And it is in the perfect shade of coral, in my opinion. In part because it's the shade my G Field pumps can match. ~grins~

I had another nice find in Earthstones, a necklace and earrings set that's not too formal, but definitely dresses up the otherwise simple outfit. Finish with some coral lipstick and some warm blonde hair (is there a better combination than coral and blonde?), and we've got our look!

52 Weeks of Color, Week 1!

So, one of the reasons I actually got into blogging was that I was really intrigued by some of the blogger challenges I saw going on, and one of the first of those was 52 Weeks of Color, run by Luna Jubilee (though I didn't know it at the time). And doofy me, once I got into blogging I was too shy to actually ask the bloggers I read how I could join.

But yesterday on Plurk I found out that Luna's doing it again! To ring in the new year, we're starting the challenge over, and the first week is, fittingly enough, champagne.

Apparently, though, I have no idea what color champagne is. :P I was standing at work, putting on outfit after outfit, going "is this champagne?" I think I came pretty close, and about half of it (the more accurate half, I think) I already owned. So bonus!

I especially like the jewelry - a Fifty Linden Friday find at League, from months ago. This is why it's always good to stock up on cute stuff when it's on sale, you will need it later.
