A recent trend - Army Green - is entirely possible to make on a budget! In fact, Wild Candy have several mannequin outfits featuring this colour, so I decided to style some entirely sc/freebie outfits featuring the colour
It's been a while since we've been given - or I've styled - any freebies. Today's is the Golf Wang Varsity Jacket Womens.
This jacket is not my style, nor even my colour pallete, so styling it I went for a basic-yet-street vibe, which included two previous freebies - the Ripped Fashion Jeans and the Walking Heel boots.

Exposed bras and texture sheer fabrics are very on trend right now! There's loads of different ways to wear and style it, which may be why it's taken off so well.
YonceLuigi exposes not only her bra, but the top of her underwear in a fishnet textured top. I decided to use the same jacket and top to create a similar effect, but went with a more tailored pant, layered necklace, and a very different bag which suited my style far more. I picked a similar but plainer shoes as I already owned them, and a very different but still black bra for the same reason.
RESTYLE
As usual, I picked three dolls who rocked the trend to use an a base for my own outfit.

I think this outfit is quite cool, but it definitely does stay within the range of styles I could have styled for myself, which is probably why I like it. Though I'll admit, intentionally showing underwear is definitely out of my comfort zone!
xiongmao pairs laced sleeves with floral loose pants and colourmatched accessories. I didn't own anything remotely similar, so I DIY'd it by layering a few pieces that I did own. For the pants, I wanted to keep the tailored, loose, and printed look, and I really loved these green peacock feathered versions. I matched my accessories colour wise to my pants, but aimed for a similar shaped bag and positioning as Xionmao had.
This was definitely the most fun outfit to recreate given the amount of freedom I ended up with, though I would rather like to buy a similar floral pant seeing how good someone else can style it. The bag is definitely not a style I would have picked but I surprised myself by liking it a lot. And I do love the outcome and would definitely wear it again!
GeorginaHer looks fierce with a cat print skirt and leather jacket with red pieces. I made what can best be described as the budget version, using cheaper brands. For the skirt I aimed for a similar shape and colour, and ended up going with this floral one. For the top I needed a lacy red bra, and the closest I had was a bra/crop top combo from Nelly that I think is much more my style anyway. The jackets were the closest item on the outfit and an easy choice, while the necklace what quite difficult - I ended up choosing one with red in it, just because. The shoes and bag were also difficult, so I matched the colours rather than the shapes.
I think overall this is definitely in between my own style, and something a lot more glamorous than I'd usually try. I don't mind the outcome, but there's no questions GeoginaHer's looks better!

STARPLAZA PICKS
This time, there's no specific itmes - but we do recommend not only Underneath Stardoll bras, but using swimsuits from Trails and Riviera as well!
MY STYLING
I decided to go with two contrasting colours and shapes. Given this is a trend I've already worn quite a bit, I wanted to create simpler looks to specifically showcase the trend rather than to hide or outdo it elsewhere.
For the first outfit, I used a ready made shirt with a sheer texture and bra built in. I added acidwash fitted jeans, a fluffy silver coat, and black and grey accessories to keep with the cold palette.
For the second outfit, I wanted something warm. I found another bra-shirt combo with an orange bralette and fishnet top which made a great base. To contrast the first look, I chose baggy, black, metallic patterned pants and a tailored orange jacket. I also went for black and gold accessories to match the other elements.
The prints and textures are (mostly) really good! The denim is awesome, the leather looks like leather, and the cord/velvet "Long Sleeve Washed" sleeve looks like a cord/velvet top without needing it in the name.
There's plenty of actually trending, but also still Vinyl's iconic grunge style items, which is exactly what this store is all about - and makes a change from the latest RIO and FA collections which were utterly unmatched for their stores.
Overall, the prices are pretty good, even on the cheap side, and I love the starcoin items. And horray for more unusual male items too!
Both the bags are equal parts trendy and versatile, and will work well for dolls with many different styles.
Unfortunately, we still got those weirdly shiny-yet-flat t-shirts that should never have become a thing, yet seem to be the only way stardoll staff can make t-shirts these days.It's not cute, and it needed to die back in 2019.

The fit/shape of the shoes is just not quite right, which is sad since the real versions are great choices and their details look fine.
The other issue I have is that I just don't know what this collection is - the colours are random, and it's so unsure of the season they've paired shorts with sweaters! Then, there's the print for the printed dress, which is very modern and transitional, on the same floor as the pattern long skirt, which is a very outdated and usually summery paisley.
Ultimately, I decided to give this release a 7.5/10. It's positive, and has a lot of potential, but I'm still not entirely convinced by it.

I styled the denim shirt and black starcoin shirt from this collection.
