I couldn't think of what to do for this week's blog post, so I decided on another Animal Crossing New Horizons play journal. I have enough of a backlog of screenshots to post another journal so let's go! First off we have the best villager ever, Pudge! He was hanging outside his house doing some exercise in the rain. Classic Pudge right there and his little face is so squishy!!!
More red toned outfits for today's Outfit Of The Day as I've been obsessed with this colour lately. Would you call this look chic or bold? I feel it has the characteristics of both styles and seems like the two styles match well together. It's like a power chick look for hitting the clubs whilst rocking some stylish accessories. I know the outfits are only virtual, but it looks like everything is made of a different fabric. That skirt seems like pleather and the jacket also has a shine to it. My favourite part of this look is the way the top and skirt match. Love that little midriff between the two and very retro looking (as in 2000's).
After years of searching, I finally found the elusive PCSC edition of Crayon Pop's Dancing All Night single. This thing was a pain to track down and I had almost given up on finding it. Even thought it was a myth! I had only seen a few photos online of it on Japanese and Korean blogs. I eventually came across this copy late last year by putting in different search words. All that matters is that I finally have it for my collection (ahhhhhhh!!!).

Another colour tone I've been obsessed with in Style Boutique is the colour grey. It's always been one I've never taken much notice of and in recent months from doing challenges, I've discovered there is a wealth of grey toned items. Making girly outfits is my favourite so far as I wouldn't put grey as a girly colour in real life. You don't see too many pretty grey items and I consider it more of a casual laid back colour, you know like lounge wear. But the game has me all wrong and you can make lovely looks like the one below. This casual girly style is my obsession lately and I'm all about things that look stylish but comfy. The inner has a pop of colour and sets a nice contrast against the denim skirt. Headed to the flower shop for the photoshoot as I felt it matched the vibe of the outfit.
Slowing making my way through old Animal Crossing New Horizons screenshots. We have finally got into the ones were I'm terraforming my island and it actually looks decent. Hard to believe my island looked this empty at one point in time and it seemed so much bigger! First picture is a lovely shot of a random bridge and you can just feel the calm from this picture. The sky was quite pretty this day and there was a light shower going over the island. Second photo is of Marshal declaring his love for me out in the middle of nowhere. This little squirrel is so adorable and couldn't imagine my island without him.
Been on bit of a red kick lately in Style Boutique and today's outfit is another red toned outfit. I went with a feminine look as I've been enjoying creating feminine looks in the game. There are just so many items at Chorale and I swear I haven't explored them all. I'm always finding ones I've never used in outfits and that was the inspiration for today's look. I wanted to use this open style top as I've tended to avoid them. Paired it with a stylish inner and some smashing red accessories. The pants always remind me of David Jones which is a department store chain here. Their logo is basically the black version of this and I'm not sure if they still use it or not. I don't shop there anymore as it's a tad out of my price range and I'm more of a Myer person (which is another department store of a similar style).
Back in January I posted a play journal featuring various fashion show outfits from New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward. Well I was sitting around recently and thought it would be a cool idea to try to recreate those looks in New Style Boutique 3: Styling Star! It actually was super easy to find the items and there was only a few parts I got stuck on. All of these were five star winning outfits in the fashion show so it will be interesting to see how that look translates to the visual style of Styling Star.
For each outfit, I've included a screenshot of the original outfit for reference. My screenshots from Fashion Forward are like the worst quality and what on earth was I doing to them back in the day. Or where they just that bad? I remember I used to try to edit them in photoshop but nowadays they just look blurry to me. And I just got new glasses so I'm definitely not going blind. The quality of taking photos in the game improved drastically between the two games except for the fact you can only delete 15 photos at a time. I hate that as it takes me forever to clear out my album.
Starting off with what the game refers to as a cute look and I'm more inclined to call it girly than cute. Super simple to recreate and the only part I had trouble with was the hair colour. I couldn't get this beautiful ice blonde colour and went with a standard blonde instead. The theme description is a bit off as it describes a cute princess which I would think is more Marble Lily style than Marzipan Sky. This outfit is definitely cute but I wouldn't say princess style.
