More amateurish fashion notes from the Attic. First, you’ll have to excuse the excellent choice I made for the shooting (red outfit, reddish background). It wasn’t planned, ok? I was just there, freshly clothed and testing the free modeling poses I pick from Izumiya shortly before that, when it occurred to me I could try another of these posts. Second, I’m not a fashion expert nor a regular fashion blogger, thus something as a photo studio hasn’t crossed my mind… until now. I could have chosen another location (that’s excuse #3), but again, read reason #1 above cause I won’t type it again, thank you.
So there I was, doing what kids shouldn’t do when there’s an empty bed nearby (and adults are not looking), and trying whatever I could find in my inventory. Yes, I didn’t run to a store to get something new for this session. Instead, I tried a hand at one of Silent Sparrow’s nice Gothic/Victorian sets for men (versions for women are also available), but wasn’t entirely satisfied with it. Don’t get me wrong: these sets, as everything else by S.P., is fabulous, but since they aren’t new in my closet, that means I’ve worn them more than once. I wanted something a little bit different without spending a single Linden dollar, so I settled down to mixing two sets together for the sake of my pocket. And here are the results.
The red jacket, cuffs and tails –the basis for this outfit– are part of the Dominion (Blood) suit, while the collar, gloves and pants are from the Sylvan (Ash) one.
And here’s a look from the back. Dominion’s own collar is pretty short, while the Sylvan one is the opposite, but I don’t know, I think both of these sets fits together quite well. I had my doubts about the Sylvan stripped pants with the red tails, but they go better with that collar than Dominion’s own set.
Lastly, one of my favorite hats, Dr. John, came in to complement the ensemble. You can change the color of that red band (just click it), so that’s a very nice extra. Of course, I’m still wearing the black and the red shoes from my previous post, but they are the ones I slip on when nothing else fits in. Maybe a little bit bulky sometimes, yes, but I still use them anyway.
