Wow, two posts in one day? Am I making progress or what?
Anyway, now that we've only four more days left of August, I thought now would be a little late to discuss our monthly Hotbuys. I guess we can close on a sour note, then, because I can honestly say that I was (surprise!) yet again disappointed by them.
Sure, the graphics are always top-notch, but the fashion doesn't necessarily meet those standards.
So now I'm going to rip this apart piece-by-piece. First of all, I really don't understand the animal-print theme. Didn't they already do a western-leopard-print-monstrosity in February? Who knows. In all honesty, I could probably care less.
Second: that dress. The one with the zebra stripes and the brown belts. Absolutely hideous. I don't know what Stardoll was thinking when they were drawing it out. First of all, I was never a big fan of the sailor-boat type collar, especially with the quarter-sleeves, and certainly not on a dress, of all things. The large slit in the fabric on the side really screams "failed attempt at a wrap dress".
Alright, moving on (and grabbing a barf bag along the way)...to our next selection, the brown fur vest. You know, it's not really that bad. It actually looks quite well when worn properly, maybe with a few vintage items or even just for casual-wear. A nice, decent, versatile piece.
And our next piece is the rainbow-gradient-leopard-spot slouchy tank top. I have no words for this one.
To be quite honest, although I'm not a huge fan of the purple/zebra-striped heels, I do actually think they're somewhat decent. I mean, maybe if the purple was darker, it would have the smoldering appearance, but at least they tried.
The sunglasses really aren't too bad. Not saying I'm in love with the shape, though. It's just a little weird to me, for reasons unknown.
That black wedge boot with the neon purple laces? Definite win. It's versatile, punky, and stylish all at the same time. They haven't had a piece like that in a long time. I would certainly buy it.
I'm still a little confused about the VIP pass...not really sure how that was supposed to fit in with the loosely tied "theme" that Stardoll was going for with this month's collection.
Again, the dress looks average right now because of the angle of the wearer. It's most likely one of those pieces that look good on the model in the advertisement, and when you put it on your dollie, you get the "meh" expression plastered on your face for at least twenty minutes.
Alright, those bracelets? I feel the same way about them as I did the wedge boots. Another win for the Stardoll designers.
And lastly, we come to probably one of the stranger Hot Buys pieces in this collection. I'm not really getting the whole "pastel pink feathers and multi-colored zebra-striped pear-shaped ornaments". I mean, if you look at it from far away, you can kind of see that they were going for an exotic peacock feather...but once you put the zebra stripes in there...done.
Well, dollies, that concludes my rant for this evening. Night, all!
