Wow! I’ve been dying for an outfit from Softly She Walks for ages, but somehow money and auctions never quite coincided. So when I saw this outfit (“Sister Light”) up on eBay and showed it to my boyfriend, he bought it for me as a present. And oh, what a present! I am in love; I just can’t resist white lacy things, I really can’t, especially when they’re this pretty.
I can’t explain to you how happy I am with where I live now. The sunshine that pours in through the window is phenomenal, which means I can take tons of photos of even V with her ears and still get some lovely lighting.
Unfortunately, said lighting encourages me to take way too many photos that only end up being whittled down to six. This is the other shirt from the Kou outfit that Justyn is sporting in this round of updates. Necklace and jeans are from Dolls Drug Kingdom.
In some ways, this is weirder than Justyn and Vincynt’s relationship, and in some ways, it makes a surprising amount of sense. Jerolyn’s hellbent on protecting anything he regards as “holy”, and Valentine, as a former Archangel, falls under that category.
I never realized that DDK offered outfits for sale on their website periodically; I suppose I should have figured they didn’t just rely on getting a couple thousand off a Yahoo!Japan auction once in a while. Anyway, for whatever the reason, I thought that actually owning one of their outfits would be way out of my league, until I found this set for relatively cheap on Yahoo!Japan. Less than 7,000 yen for a cute pair of jeans (complete with DDK’s “crown” symbol on the back pocket) and an adorable black leather corset. Love it.
These are not my usual “perfect” photos with pure white backgrounds. I was trying something a little different with the shadows. Successful? I don’t know. Editing for these pretty much consisted of resizing, instead of the usual color and contrast tweaking I do in Photoshop. Gives a more “real world” feel or something.
One of the biggest mistakes @dirkmaximus makes is telling me when he likes a particular doll or outfit I show him. If he likes it as well, I’m far more prone to trying to get it. This outfit by Poshdolls is an example of this. The doll in the auction (a CustomHouse Choa, I think) was wearing a reddish wig, and he said the outfit plus the wig looked very Irish, which he liked. So I bought it. Hee! V already has her default reddish wig, so I put her Volks HG green eyes in and poof, Irish kitten.
