Brief Shopping Spree, Pixel Dolls, & Seburo PD

Well my RL GF's birthday didn't quite go as planned and everyone ended up all stressed out, so I did in fact make it home in time to do some shopping... And I was on a fairly limited budget as I'd gotten down to something like $60L after my last shopping trip... Then I found it... A sweet shirt and tie from Torrid Wear that was cheap! And so an idea struck me to replace that bad schoolgirl outfit with a new one... So I went looking for a vest or jacket to go with it and came upon a 'sweater jacket' from Pixel Dolls... I bought it up in as dark a color as I could get (a charcoal grey color) because most of my wardrobe is full of darker colors... and purples or reds... and I want to reuse it if at all possible. I however ran out of money at this point... So I returned to the club I work at to check in and look for a suitable skirt... My plaid skirts are all red base-color designs and even though the tie does have those colors in it, they didn't work together... So hunting through my archive of clothes I went... And came out with a grey satin mini-skirt. I left on my thigh-high black socks, tossed on some black mary jane shoes, and for the heck of it added in some black lace gloves. It doesn't look like a normal schoolgirl outfit, but it does look like a private bordering school girl outfit... A tad domish for my tastes, but it looks nice and is way way better then the store bought outfit...


This morning however I got a nice surprise... I'd hopped over to the Pixel Dolls blog after visiting one of their stores and noticed a new plan to replace sending review copies to fashion blogs (I've noticed well known blogs get sent review outfits when reading their blogs)... So I figure I'd send off a note asking if I could get in on the deal... Well this morning I got my reply
, which was a nice gift from Nephilaine Protaganist. So I went shopping!

I headed over to what I believe is the main store, it's positively huge so I can't imagine it was a side store, and went nuts picking through clothes... I picked up some new sculptie designs she just rolled out and bunches of outfits and various pieces... I also checked out the partners/lines like Seburo PD... Who I picked up a great outfit from called 'nightmare', it's all red and black leather and is a complete set from undies on up to skirt and jacket layers. In fact my favorites from this outfit are the jacket and skirt layers, which are a sets of straps/belts/buckles that crisscross around the front and back... I have the feeling I will be using those with many outfits from now on. The shirt and pants are also very good, with a lot of nice detailing (though due to coloring it can be hard to catch some of the details). The undies are the worst thing about it, they would be fine except they look like someone cut them out with sheers... Now sometimes I don't mind looking like that, but I was a tad disappointed with it here. I'll probably use some black lace or black leather panties and bra (well if I decide to wear either) underneath this due to that. But with such nice pieces for the rest of the outfit I think I can safely ignore the 'undies issue'. Oh it also comes with black socks and shoes/boots (which are hard to see except at the heel because they blend), nothing fancy and the shoes are non-prim but that's ok as far as I'm concerned.

Today's shopping trip: Stellar Designs & Wild Rose

Well I went shopping which is basically a daily routine for me and I decided to go looking for a schoolgirl outfit... Yes I know hardly an original quest, but I felt kinky and just knew I could make some guys drool with my neko jogakusei (cat schoolgirl)...

I'd heard Stellar Designs had a good schoolgirl design, so I decided to head there and take a look. Now I've never been there before, so the first thing I do is wonder around looking at all the clothes (I didn't check out Stellar Designs other sections yet). I saw a few 'could be a schoolgirl' designs before finding the schoolgirl design I'd heard about. I also found what looked like a hot teacher outfit and a few sexy looking Gothic or leather numbers... But I was on a mission, so I'll come back for those. This is what I ended up with:


Which doesn't look bad... The outfit didn't come with socks or shoes so those both came from my previous outfit for this picture and I think both were actually freebies I came across. The hair is from Wilted Rose and is my current favorite in 'wild red' colors. If you visit Wilted Rose you will find this hair with very few problems. The neko accessories are from Jungle Voodoo and I bought a pack of both leopard spot and striped designs in a large range of colors just awhile ago.... I love them so much! They even twitch and move on their own!

Unfortunately I can't praise this schoolgirl outfit, even though I do think it can look good... My favorite part is the flexi skirt which does an amazing job of looking cute and sexy on the outside... The problem I have with it comes down to the base clothing level which gives the look it's sweet belt look, from the inside though rather than being a underwear or skirt base, the made this layer pants... So if I bend over for a sexy pose it looks like I'm wearing ugly tartan shorts rather than a cute sexy thong or even white panties... Depending on if I'm trying to look innocent or not... ;) Note to the designer: change this! I want to be a sexy schoolgirl not the one with the worst ass around! Now on to the top... The top is one layer, which sucks... The vest is attached to the shirt as is the tie... It looks... Ok, but it would have been so much better if the tie was flexi (as some other outfits I saw were) and had the sweater as a jacket layer that I could even mix 'n match later. The detail though on the top is sorely lacking...

In the end I just don't like the outfit, no matter how much I do want to like it... Could we please have an updated version...? Pretty please...? With a frilly red neko on top...? ;)

So I went back to mt previous outfit... My favorite sexy red dress!


This design is one I think I picked up as a freebie and I cannot find the original owner of it... If you know I want to hear from you! I'm just dying to pick up a black version of this! I have not found a better sexy dress & I've been looking! The gloves however are from yet another outfit, that I'd tried on prior to donning this dress and forgot to take off, when I found out they match very well... They come from yet another collection of freebie goods that had no name on them, so I can't tell anyone that I like them... Finishing the outfit is this nice fishnet shrug which also comes from Wilted Rose. I love this sexy little shrug (which is colorable, though here it's in plain white to contrast the rest of the outfit), I try it with almost everything as it's my favorite 'jacket'. It comes in a nice set of fishnet items. Bikini top and bottom, thigh highs, gloves, and shrug with some items having dual layer options so it's your choice which layer you wear it as. It was also inexpensive, which is always a plus. I'll use this set in another outfit I'll show off tomorrow...

I'll also mention Wilted Rose has a discount off-shot called Freebie Jeebies that carries some nice (& not so nice) things all for $1L. I bought a bunch of fun T's there and managed to win my fave t-shirt of all time there as well (it's my shirt with the word 'slut' written all over it)! ^_^

I think I'll go shopping again now, see you all later!
