Shoujo in the Spring

Although it isn’t my everyday look, I have a huge soft spot in my heart for the delicate Shoujo skins from Fleur. Six new makeups in a spring palette have just been released for the Shoujo skin line, and I’m delighted to show you a sample.  I’m wearing the Lotus skin tone, with the Spring 1 makeup. As always, the coloring on this skin is gorgeous!

Altho’ you might think of delicate spring makeups paired with floaty pastel clothes, I decided to wear rich jewel tones today — and I think it looks equally terrific. Plus — I needed an excuse to pull out this wonderful new-ish shruggie from Silent Sparrow!  Although I have a huge collection of shrugs, I think this one distinguishes itself by its beautiful texture, and interesting prim sleeves. One of the things I love about the shape of the sleeves is that they they work well with most all the movements in my AO — always a plus for wearability somewhere besides the photosphere :).

I also want to make note of the lovely open heart drop earrings from Cihuae!, a newish jeweler on the grid. This style is very flexible, and will go with a lot of different looks.
