Grey Amsterdam Nights

Ive been in an odd fashion mood lately. Lots of simple colours with maybe one bright tone to lift it. Ive also got a much paler skin... maybe we should blame the mark ryden influences still running through my taste buds.

I wanted to created something here that was quiet quirky without being loud. And unfortunately i got such an idea of this outfit in my mind i had to combine a lot of things to make the outfit.

I did struggle a bit with the setting i originally wanted a canal boat but instead ill settle for an absinthe bar and canals. I love the mystery in this Sim and the images are barely edited so it does look that ghostly.

The violet in this outfit is defiantly the main colour contrasted against the red rose and antique golds and black. The start of the outfit was the hat. Originally grey i tinted the main part of the bowler and combined it with the veil. I really wanted these bright eyes shining behind the veil in a creepy way so this ice blue we perfect.

The necklace is a piece Ive coveted for a long time and only recently gone back to buy. From wandering the grid in my noob-esk days i remember seeing this in an old issue of second style.

I originally had a tinted black version of Alla ruff veschi, certain curtain dress on but round it was starting to look to bulky. I wanted this outfit to be less about silhouette and more about colour and texture. Sometimes this can create a boyish look, but i feel that with the soft lapels of the blouse it still looks feminine.

The socks are wonderfully ancient i think most people own them as well. But Nora Batty socks are for sure hot as ever. and lastly the shoes almost remind me of clogs which made them perfect for this Amsterdam/European/canal type look.
