Finally time for another Subcouture weekend - really some of my favourite weekends on Stardoll! Limited vibes, but no rush and time to really think about the pieces you want to buy. Love the pink tones in the advertising and I really like the look of the special offer item, those pinks and reds together really speak to me^ Lets get on in and see what the collection has in store for us:
The release is 3 floors with 6 looks per floor, 16 looks for female dolls and 2 looks that come in both male and female versions. Overall I would say I like these vibes for Subcouture, it's not too dressy while there are still pieces that you can dress up, but a lot of pieces work in a more casual style, which I like for Subcouture. And generally the collection does seem very wearable. Now for sure, a lot of the pieces aren't my style but there's a lot of versatility there. This time for me the accessories aren't too stand out, I don't love the style of most of the pieces, however I do appreciate that they fit pretty well with the clothing items on offer. I have picked up a couple of pieces, the Miu Miu Plaid Platforms are super cute, love both the plaid and the lovely sparkly buckle straps over the foot. The Rick Owens Cream Boots are also very tempting, love the light colour, the knee high design and the overall fit on the foot, I'm just still thinking about what I would pair them with. I also picked up the Clock Necklace, which is more of the simple elegance style, and while there is a clock-face on it, I think it looks like a good versatile piece that will be easy to include in outfits. With the clothing I really am a fan of the sequin and sparkly pieces, and there's a number of these pieces to choose from. The Teal Sequin Dress looks fantastic, and there are matching Teal Sequin Gloves if those take your fancy, I love the mix of colours, sequins and lace on this piece along with the overall style and fit of the dress. I could already see a few different outfits with it in my mind when I saw it in the store. With dresses there is also the Velvet Corset Dress which has a fabulous sparkling skirt and I really like the purple colour on this one too. With tops there are the Sequin Body Shirt (plus available for male dolls too), Black Sequin Top and the Purple Gem Shirt - these pieces all look great, the fit the doll really nicely and I think are all pretty versatile, they'll work annually, not just for the typically sparkly-season we're entering into! For me the Sequin Body Shirt is an especially good option because it has a great mix of bold colours in the design. And can't forget the Black Ruffle Pants, these are such a fun piece - I'm a real sucker for a ruffled piece and these look great, they fit the doll well, have a sparkly base, and will make for some real stand-out outfits!

First up is Bianca.Vos wearing the Olive Corset Dress - this is such a great option for the dress and honestly the pieces look like they were made to be worn together! The sheer top makes the dress perfect for those colder days along with the fun design on the tights and shoes, which overall are perfect for the lace detailing around the waist on the corset of the dress. So stylish as always^
Next we have harpie in both the Blue Scrunched Sweater and Miu Miu Plaid Platforms, and again these clothes just look like they were made for each other. Love the stripe detail of the skirt with the blue, it really gives me Sonia Rykiel vibes. And the shoes really work nicely to complement the rest of the accessories added in the look, love these sheer ankle socks and the simple additions in the bag, belt and jewellery =)
Then we have sarah_1980 who is the perfect definition of 'more is more' - all of these pieces come from the collection but weren't put together like this, so the Diamond Sunglasses, Red Plaid Dress, Black Sequin Top, Midnight Sparkle Gloves, Pierced Saddle Bag and the Maroon Laced Boots. These items look absolutely amazing together, and I really think the outfit sells the pieces incredibly well, for me, moreso than the store display does. The layering of the top and gloves with the dress looks fab and the hint of sparkles adds an extra level of glamour!
Finally for features is Vinicius who wears the Laced Dress and I love this Jacquemus-esque styling, and again, selling the piece much better than the store does - so I think I might need to pick up this dress now XD The dress stands out here and it's all been about adding accessories, works perfectly! The light tones complement the dress perfectly, every accessory is just right for a vintage south of France styling, love the heels and the straw bag especially^

So I bought a lot of sparkly things! First up, the Sequin Body Shirt and Pierced Saddle Bag - so much fun styling this top and had quite a few options to choose from, but in the end of the blue sequin trousers won, you can never have too many sequins! I kept it relatively simple in the rest of the look, but tried to make it more Winter-suited with this overcoat, I really like it. The blue glasses and boots kept the colour theme going and I added the bag as a little something different for the finishing touch. Second are the Black Sequin Top and Miu Miu Plaid Platforms - I loved these trousers with both pieces because the belt detail on the trousers is perfect with the buckle on the shoes and the sparkle of the top, and of course, I have a matching bag for the buckle design too so that was a must to include here! I was really trying to make a jacket work with this outfit, but nothing was working but actually going jacket-less became my preferred option, something a little different for me, but it looks good^ Overall super simple but I think those sparkly little details really do pop nicely. And finally the Teal Sequin Dress and Clock Necklace in a look that I just adore so much! I really envisaged this dress worn as a skirt, and it was so easy to make that work. I loved this oversized black top with it and kept those Winter vibes going with a polo and some chunky boots, the sheen on the boots is great with the sequins. Accessorising was kept on the silver theme because the necklace worked really nicely against the blue tones in the dress. I'm really so pleased with this one =)
Lovely post my dear Kiki, tysm.
