Feeling a bit fey last night, I decided to take the Cambridge Cuffed shirt from Armidi and see if I could give it a “quaintly unconventional” look. After all, what could be more conventional than a plain button-down shirt? A fun challenge, then, to give it an unconventional twist. Browsing my inventory, I tried a few skirts, but the instant I put on Nell from LBD, the search was over.
The Cambridge shirt has two layer options so I was able to add belts on the jacket layer – a plethora of belts from Zaara’s Calangute dress. These are from the lime dress. Amber shoes from Adam N Eve round it out.
The tougest challenge when wearing men’s shirts like this is editing down the size of the cuffs and collar. I was able to do okay with the plain shrink option in editing except that the cuff fold still looked huge, but by editing individual prims after I got the vertical part of the cuff to fit, I was able to shrink the fold-over separately and that made all the difference in getting it to fit well.
Prissy hair from 0 Style, Belleza makeup and gorgeous amber and topaz jewelry are the finishing touches. Incidentally, yes, I know I am wearing the SAME DAMN THING as everyone else.
