Riddle Me This, Part Two
Friday, September 26, 2008
How many looks can you create with just one outfit from Riddle?
Well, my answer is three but I'm sure you guys can come up with even more.
Last time I posted, I showed you some of the fabulous stuff from Riddle that I just adore. I don't normally do two posts on one store right in a row, but I wanted to show you how much fun I had creating different looks with the Plaid Short Set from Riddle. I did buy it in two colours, and I do mix and match them once, but even if you only buy one color I think you can change the look of this set dramatically just by what you pair with it.
For the first look, I decided I wanted to try to go couture with these pants, and there's no better way to achieve that than mixing and matching. I took the top from one of my Sexy Business Wear outfits, Manhattan by Mischief, and added it to the Red Plaid Shorts from Riddle. 
The Tamara shoes from ZHAO give the outfit a certain high-end sex appeal, and the necklace from Viva La Glam and the handbag from BAX Boots tie it all together. Prepster cute is what my friend Rhodesy called this look, and I have to agree. The perfect outfit for a day of shopping, maybe even a lunch date, or even walking the catwalk. 
For the next two looks and model info, click the jump. 
I added the WRONG Basic Boots for attitude, and the Aleah hair from ETD gave it that sharp edge I was going for. Add the Apnea Tattoos from Sn@tch (based on the rl tats of my favorite Fetish Model in RL) and some interesting jewelry, and you have punk rock chic.
The last look I created is probably my favorite, though it won't be for everyone. I had just been to see a concert by my favorite Goth band in RL, and was feeling that a bit of CyberGoth might be in order. 
So, I took the Red Plaid Set, added the WRONG Basic Boots, some tattoos and interesting piercings, and then put on my Restless Punk Hair from Goth1c0 to achieve that CyberGoth look I was longing for. 
I also did something I don't normally do, and changed my eyes. The Shine Purple Sage Eyes really changed the entire look. Funny how the right set of eyes can sometimes make an outfit go from nice to wow. Aren't these gorgeous? I love the combination of green and purple. 
So there you are...three different looks from one fabulous outfit, even if I did use two different colors. Now, how many can you come up with?
