Okay, the official meme about Paper Couture is “Lovely, but I wouldn’t want to live there.”  That’s not truly fair. Yes, their clothes are a bit avant garde and maybe a tad outre, but you can live in them if you use your imagination. Think of this as the House of Lu’s gift to you, forcing you to move beyond folder-dressing and wearing pre-packaged outfits.  Paper Couture wants you to be more than a clothes hanger and become a fashionista.

So, here’s my remix of the top of the Romantic Soliloquy top. In the flickr photo set you can see I also played around with adding and removing the leg o’mutton sleeves. I can see this top with the velvet skirts from Zagoskin, the tight classic pants from Armidi, with Digit Darkes Developer Pants – the black brocade. Oh, and Digit Darkes has a colored jacket with puff sleeves that might look lovely over the lower layer.  Just because I am not wearing that hoop skirt frame that comes with it, doesn’t mean I can’t wear it a dozen different way.
