Accessorize Me

My instinct when choosing jewelry and other accessories is to choose something with the dominant color in the outfit, but sometimes it’s fun and successful to choose a different option – either choosing a color that is present but in small amounts or choosing an absent color that interacts well with your main color.  For this luscious purple print blouse from Atelier la Bubu, I chose orange jewelry and shoes reasoning that purple would just disappear in the activity of the textile.  The textile designer also included orange, in very small amounts.

Choosing a color that works comes naturally for most of us. We just know what looks good to our eyes. However, if you are ever curious why colors look good to you, you can look to color theory for the answer. In essence, color theory explains why our innate sense of color harmony prefers some color combinations and thinks others clash.  For example, orange is one of the colors associated with purple in the Triadic color scheme which splits the color wheel into thirds. Using a triadic scheme does not obligate you to use all three colors – just helps you find colors that will harmonize with each other. You can see your many options below in this chart of purple color schemes.

Atelier La Bubu

I was going through my unread notecards last week and saw a request from a store to come take a look at their offerings. I was so delinquent that by the time I read the notecard the store had moved and changed its name to Atelier La Bubu. I have no idea where the name came from, but it’s a memorable one. That’s a good thing as you will want to check it out. There’s a nice selection of some very lovely clothes and at such a bargain. Everything is only 75L (or 50L for group members) even delightful ball gowns like this one called Bordeaux.

Brilliant!

Okay, so this jacket is not named Briliant! but it should be. Instead it is named bling though only in the 1st life sense. I assure you there is no bling script adulterating the sheer brilliance of this wild and sexy jacket. It is so brilliantly sexy it motivated me to wear a much shorter than usual miniskirt – one that is pure sex appeal.

Now I do have a nightie like this in RL – but only in SL will you catch me wearing something quite this short out of the house. Still, I love the lines of the lace insets and the figure-flattering way they are placed. This is definitely an eye-catching dress.
