From army green to khaki, army inspired colours are the new neutrals in everyone's wardrobes. They've been seen everywhere from the runway to the streets, and stardoll has proven no exception. With the new TRAILS themed on Safari too, it's no surprise this trend has taken off recently.

With a new item, the Ramadan Special Offer Capsule Handbag and one you've seen before, the Special Offer Sleeveless Blue Dress, there's no lack of blue freebies in today's outfit.

These jeans have sat around in my Stardoll closet for quite a few years now. They were super popular when they were first released, with acid wash denim and Mom jeans being at their peak. These days, I don't see this style quite as much, and to be honest I've personally never liked acid wash anything.

I ended up covering them up quite a bit, but I think the little bit of denim works well with all the monochrome.

In general, paper bag and waist-tied pants, along with wider legs and flowing materials, have been super popular for the last three years of so. Pastels have also been back with a vengeance for a while. All this came to Stardoll with the new BASICS floor.

Style wise, I think this collection manages to capture current trends while also being what BASICS items ought to be - timeless, and easy to mix and match. The graphics aren't half as good as the previous basics release which is a little disappointing, but they're still a step above some items we've had lately, and those cost stardollars.

My favourite items are the sheer shirts, as it's rare we get textured items for starcoins and they're nicely tailored for layering, and the slacks, since they are a nice addition to any pants collection.

My least favourite item is easily shorts, which combine bad graphics and a plain ugly hem to make an item I really hate. They also don't make much sense in a collection which has otherwise quite formal and structured pieces.

The mediocre award goes to the short frill socks and the low top sneakers. We've hand multiple pairs of similar items before, which is irritating, but they're usually in stardollars, so at least these classic items are able to be bought at a reasonable price by everyone.

From the above dolls, and from looking through Spotlight pictures, it was clear that the skirts and pants were the two most popular items from this release. The next popular items were the sheer shirts and frill tops. I couldn't find a single person using a bag, or the dreaded shorts. Given there's already similar items, I couldn't tell if people were wearing the shoes and socks or something similar from another brand.

I've been too busy to blog lately, but lordy, is this an ugly pieces of clothing...so much so I just had to have a god and style it! I'm definitely on the more conservative-dressing side IRL, but this is the definition of a potato sack dress.

I tried giving it a more edgy aesthetic, adding silver and black accents to try and distract from the ... brown. From the everything, honestly.

I think it turned out okay?

With the Spotlight down, finding dolls to feature was more difficult than usual so I just stuck with two. Hopefully it's back up and running soon!

This outfit takes direct inspiration from k-pop artists, who often use printed sleeves under band shirts. It's a much darker, edgier take than they usually wear, though!

This street-style outfit takes oversized clothes to their extreme, emulating the hip-hop trends of the late 90s and early 2000s, which also incorporating modern layering.

Here we see a more contemporary, western take, with a more structured pant and the popular mesh shirt. The colour scheme is also very appropriate for the transitional season.

Sorry for not posting  - I  have a ton of University work to get through! Which might be why today's freebies outfit looks and awful lot like a frazzled art student.

These overalls were one of my favourite things when they were first released, and although I'm not using them half as much these days, I do still think they're reasonably cute and well designed for a Stardoll freebie item.

An unexpected sunshine colour has become one of the biggest and most popular trends to pop up on Stardoll over the past week. Yellow has definitely taken over - so much so, I had to feature 4 dolls instead of the usual 3!

This street style look plays it cool in all-white to make the yellow truly pop.

In almost all black, this softer outfit also lets the yellow be the feature.

Using brown and a more mustard shade, this look is more of a neutral styling.

The subtle, half-covered bag plays a minor but undeniably noticeable role here.


My goal was to make one 'lighter' and one 'darker' look, as that seemed to be the general two versions others seemed to style it after.

My first look I used a more mustard-yellow shirt, which looks a lot like the gold buttons. For my second look I used a lighter pastel yellow, but made it edgier with the accessories.

I've owned this shirt for a couple of years now, but I never seem to give it much love. I like the colour and Love theme but the neckline always looks a bit unnatural unless you do some layering, which definitely has put me off using it in the past. I do really like how it's a subtle grey statement piece in an otherwise harsh black-and-white look.!
