Tres Jolie's Chouchou

Posted by Cajsa Lilliehook

A great friend celebrated his Rez Day last night and even though i knew I wanted to wear Tres Jolie’s ChouChou, this lovely dress made from a wonderful rich and detailed Japanese brocade, I just thought it was too dressy and formal for the event which promised to include mud wrestling. What to do?

Accesorize!! By switching to more casual shoes, losing the Dalia necklace that generously comes with the dress and choosing more casual hair and jewelery, it became casual enough for the party – though I promise you, I did not mud wrestle in this dress. Imagine the dry cleaning!!

I just love this outfit. I like casual but feminine and this fits the bill. I love the autumn color palette and most of all, I love skirts that fit perfectly. I don’t know how she does it, but the skirt is so perfect, no little butt bubbles in the back. Don’t you just hate butt bubbles? Additionally, the belt is aligned as though custom made for my shape. I am in love. More photos on my Flickr

Paper Couture Challenge

p.c. challenge

Posted by Cajsa Lilliehook

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.

Romantic Soliloquy

Posted by Cajsa Lilliehook

This is the lovely Romantic Soliloquy. Yes, I admit it, I am not wearing that skirt anywhere. It’s not me to run around showing my panties. Even super duper pretty panties. Even bloomers. Just not me. But oh, that bodice.  I would buy that skirt twice over to have that lovely bodice.
