I kinda sorta fell in love with the top and skirt from United Colors at Collabor88 this month. This month’s theme is Autumn’s Breath, possibly inspired by Mary Howitt’s Cornfields. Howitt’s big contribution was The Spider and the Fly so it seems a good time to shoot some pictures in my parlor and show off my shoes from Ingenue. <grin>
“WHEN on the breath of autumn breeze,
From pastures dry and brown,
Goes floating like an idle thought
The fair white thistle-down,
Oh then what joy to walk at will 5
Upon the golden harvest hill!
Here you can see some details of the outfit. I love the design details on the top, the close set of small buttons, the ruched cap of the three-quarter length sleeves. It seems so simple, yet on closer inspection has these magnificent details. Even better, there is so much you can do to make it your own using the HUD.
As you can see, you can change the top and its buttons and the skirt and its overlay. Just using the green and cream, I can get several variations.
The beautiful weather had me heading outside to the porch where I could show you the lovely vignette from Second Spaces. Called Breath of Autumn, the original has white pumpkins and candles, but they are tintable, and I made them orange because I wanted orange pumpkins, by golly.
I decided to cap my outfit off (pun intended) with this lovely hair from Exile and the necklace from Kunglers.
My makeup is from Glam Affair, though I made the lipstick (Read more...)
