JOINING THE DREAM ARMY

The Captain's Coat isn't a very practical item of dress but that's probably why I like it so much. Most officers don't have ten spare minutes every morning to dedicate to lacing up. :D  ... I hope you don't mind that I tinted the inner shirt a Plum color, it used to be gray with royal blue piping. Still available a little longer over at the Victorian edition of Genre.



And these lovely suede boots! They come either plain or with the fabulous metallic tooling on the cuffs. Perfect for space pirates, or high elves in middle-earth. You'll be seeing me in these again I promise.

CASUAL DAY

Well, maybe it's Casual Day with a side order of Nostalgia. When I was a kid, Grampa had a Rolleiflex camera so I had to have this fun Auxiliary baggity sweatshirt. Once I put that on, I had to put on some other vintage wear.



Perfect cateye glasses from Artilleri with gorgy little silver detailing ...



I've had these plaid pants for a month or two, they were free over in Sakide's lucky chair, but well-made mesh, and the plaid lines up beautifully without ugly seams. You know how hard it is to make good plaid pants don't you? And Fashionably Dead's two-tone shoes. To die for!!

LOVE ARGYLE

I do love Argyle. Once I got on the texture kick I had some difficulty restraining myself from adding more. I'm not exactly sure where the line is between "enough" and "too much". I wanted to add La Gyo's new paisley necklace and earrings. Should I have? I like Paisley too.

No, I didn't go shopping for Yellow Argyle leggings. I already had them in my closet. :P

And I can't say enough about this hair. It's mesh and gorgeous and I plan to wear it with Japanese and Fantasy outfits too. I drooled all over the sexy curves of the ponytail and the avant-garde angled fringe. <3
