The Fashionable Heart

I love the combination of gray and yellow, or black and yellow, even at the risk of looking like a bumble bee. Here I’m wearing the very versatile black Dongipani shorts from D!FF and Pixel Doll’s charcoal shrug which is brightened by Artilleri’s Beatha top in yellow sans the cute little bows. To avoid the big bare tummy look, I added Veschi’s tintable tights in black. The full prim necklace by Swallowtail is a fun primmy detail. I just adore that necklace.

And like most of my grid sister fashionitas, I have not been able to take off those sexy as hell Maitreya ChiChi pumps in black with the pastel yellow trim. (I could see wearing the ChiChi pumps in yellow, but I had to opt for the black ones because of budgetary constraints.) The same can be held true for my hair. I’ve been having a blast as a platinum blond and Jade’s hair has been hard to take off. Beautiful backdrop and house by Barnesworth Anubis.

Mimikri’s Hot Couture released her new Joy mix and match line. (Check out her blog for all of the pieces and colors available.) And let me tell you, what a joy it is! Beautiful textures everywhere. The sequin wrap top in the wine color has a realistic shine to it. I could see the black or gold wrap top paired with a pair of black leather pants for a rocker/glam look. The details are so pretty, including the little tie bow in the back. The pants with their prim cuffs are wonderful in an organic patterned texture. Each piece is wonderful! And they come in 10 different colors! 10! Under the wrap top, I put <3 Cupcake’s bra for a more modest look. The necklace is a cute freebie from Yummy. I’m also having a hard time taking that hair off from Jade. There is just so much you can do with these pieces.
