A Versatile Casual And Party Dress

I am sure there has been many blog posts about the recent releases from Paper Couture. So instead of a simple post, I decided to have some fun and style an outfit as a casual look and also as a party dress.

Parakeet is a lovely bright yellow dress that conveniently has shirt layers and also skirt layers with and without ornaments. So for a casual look, I wore the plain layers and also removed the feathers that attach to the shoulders. Ah I almost forgot but I took off the stockings that came with the outfit too. Now this outfit became a very simple yet sweet yellow mini dress.

I wore this with a knit cap that is from 69 that comes with the hair. I love these because I don't have to worry about editing the hair or the cap to fit it. The cap is colour change so one click and you can get it in different colours. I also wore a long wool scarf from Argrace and cute pair of over-knee socks from Honey Kitty which is a Japanese store that has a very wide selection of "kawaii (cute)" outfits. But the variety of socks that you find here is amazing!

Another item worth mentioning is this casual boots that I wore with this look. This is Snow Drift from Kalnins Footwear that not only does it look so real, it also has a HUD you can wear and change colours of the main boot, ribbon and piping parts to 12 different colours! In other words, you can create your own colour combination which allows for some fun styling.

And this is a close up of the boots I'm wearing here. I'm just loving this! AND......this boots is being sold at 50% discount if you go today. I think it's still discounted for one more day from 800L to 400L. So if you like it, run run!

Next I wore the shirt and skirt layers with ornaments, added the feather prims to the shoulders and also wore the stockings in the set. The shoes I wore here are from Nardcotix and I just love the round toes. There are so many colour variations too as well as one without the T-strap.
