Last day of September today so that means another round of monthly favourites. I feel this month went super quick but I'm glad October is finally here as that means the weather will warm up a little bit and we'll be into summer weather in no time! Gaming My 100 Outfit Challenge in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star will be finishing up in the next few days and I've done stacks of posts of outfits this month for the challenge. You can find them all on the Challenge Page if you want to catch up on the challenge. It's been a great opportunity to try out looks I normally wouldn't do like this gorgeous girly/feminine inspired outfit based around my favourite colour pink and least favourite colour red.
October's Shopdo updates will be all about Halloween outfits and I've posted my first round yesterday! I am thinking of changing the posting schedule of Shopdo after October due to my personal schedule becoming a lot busier towards Christmas. I might go to monthly updates for Shopdo as I've been struggling sometimes with coming up with outfits each week and it's difficult sometimes to get time to update each weekend. It's just something I've been thinking about for a little while and it might be time to switch it up a bit. I want to try and start posting a monthly Caprice Chalet update as well like I used to. Music Been listening to a variety of stuff this month as I just listen to whatever is on my current playlist in my car mostly. I've still been listening to Wink and FEMM non-stop which I posted about last month. Aitai-tai from Red Velvet's #CookieJar has been another favourite stuck in my head as has Black Widow from Pristin. At least Pledis finally announced their disbandment a little while back, now if only we could get an official confirmation on After School after all these years of nothing. Happiness has a new song out called Chao Chao which is amazing as usual and Dream Ami brought out a new digital single 恋のつぼみ Koi no Tsubomi. I was hoping for a new physical single or album as I wanted to get one from CDJapan for my birthday. But I'm guessing this song will be on her next release.
Today's outfit blew me away as I wasn't expecting this theme to turn out so well and it has become one of my top outfits of the entire challenge. The idea was to combine my favourite and least favourite colours together into one outfit. Now pink is my favourite colour and red is my least favourite colour but luckily these colours are quite close to each in terms of colour palettes. I went straight to this inner as I knew it had both colours in it and built the rest of the outfit around it. It actually turned out quite well and very stylish. I actually used more red than pink items in the outfit and I think that helped make the outfit really pop.
Since October will soon be upon us, I thought I'd give the boutique a special Halloween make-over! For the month of October, I will be doing special Halloween themed outfits for my Shopdo updates since October is the spooky month. The first outfit for Halloween is your usual cheerleader ensemble which is just the basic cheerleader outfit from Purple Moon with some lively items added in. Perfect for your teen horror movie! The next outfit is a cute bunny themed coordinate in the baby-doll style. I love using this bunny ears from Purple Moon at Easter time for outfits, but why not add them in for Halloween as well? Final outfit is a elegant vampire inspired look once again featuring an item from Purple Moon. It really is the Halloween brand isn't it? I love this look as it is rather stylish yet mysterious. You can find all three outfits at my Shopdo ID 0006271056 in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star (EUR/AUS Region).
Quick look at my Halloween themed boutique which has an elegant Gothic inspired interior. I decided on using a couch in the centre of the room as I rarely do that and it feels a bit more cosy. Of course I included a black cat as it's the quintessential Halloween animal. My character has a Halloween themed outfit on for the new look and this outfit is one of my usual get-ups I wear around Halloween time in the game. I really do miss the Halloween themed DLC items from Fashion Forward as they were perfect for this holiday!
The gothic coordinate of my 100 Outfit Challenge is finally here and I've gone for a gothic look I've never really tried before. I'm quite a fan of the musical design of this skirt and I think it's one of the more unique designs in the game. It has such beautiful detail and even has a camisole to match the musical theme. To continue with the musical theme of this coordinate, I used this piano handbag from Raven Candle however the colour is slightly off compared to the green in the skirt and inner. I quite like this gothic look as it's a bit more elegant than my usual gothic coordinates where I use the pannier skirt/dress items.
On the home stretch now with Day 90 of the challenge and the theme for today is Buttoned Up! The idea of this theme is to use an outer that contains button. The inspiration for this theme was the outers that are rarely used by players. I feel there's a large number of outers towards to bottom of the list that get ignored. I know myself I tend to not scroll that far down or avoid them due to looking too bulky. For my Buttoned Up outfit, I went with this preppy inspired outfit as I wanted to use this quirky card print inspired outer from Brooke Bridge. This jacket has a unique design and colour tones to it which I tried to match in the plaid skirt. The make-up I've been using throughout this entire challenge was perfectly suited for this preppy style look.
Today is all about being lazy as we haven't really had a day off like this during this 100 Outfit Challenge. I just went for a pjama look because is there any better way to explain the word lazy in clothing form. It's amazing how these items from Marzipan Sky and Marble Lily legit look like sleepwear! I always thought these pants were pjamas and they paired up well with this outer and shoes from Marble Lily. Funny how the shoes look just like ugg boots, I wonder if they are based off a EGL style shoe in Japan. Because over here they just remind me of ugg boots (or slippers for all my non-Australian readers). Anyway shoe discussion aside, I thought this look was cute and it was exciting to find sleepwear looking items that match so well in an outfit.
I feel I've kinda run out of captions to write for all these outfits after posting 87 of them. Today is just another colour themed day with today's outfit all about green. I went with a girly look as I'm still into these camisoles from Marzipan Sky. This one is interesting in particular as it contains different patterns but the design still looks amazing. I paired it with a basic skirt and some trainers as it's a pretty casual look. The girly style is kinda like that for me, it's my version of basic really. I tend to wear pretty basic girly styled clothing in real life so I try to go for that look in game sometimes. Plus Marzipan Sky has some great casual looking items in a variety of colours and patterns.
