...and a couple of pictures.
Of course, in the end I didn't have time to revamp the bodice for the chartreuse and black bustle skirt and didn't really want to wear anything else with the skirt, either; so I ended up wearing the lace appliqué dress instead, but with chartreuse accessories because I really wanted to wear that eyeliner. A little boring, but comfortable and the dress is pretty. Didn't feel like wearing any one of my silly little hats, so I tried to mix things up a bit and do something fun with my hair instead. It didn't turn out as I planned, but it worked well enough for a club night; it's dark and everybody is drunk, after all. Even I was slightly tipsy after being wined and dined by friends before we all went out, and a couple of glasses of champagne. I was consequently horribly hungover all yesterday, think I'll be an old woman and try to stick to my everlasting glasses of sherry or Campari for a while now.
Anyway, the uniform dress turned out very well indeed. She wore it to Hootchy Kootchy and said that she had never received so many compliments in her entire life. No photos as of yet, but I'll get on it.
A bad one, but you can see the hair action. I was tired and A was even more so, which shows, I'm afraid - not many even halfway decent ones in this batch.
The eyeliner isn't really an eyeliner, it's a MAC Paint called Chartru with a sparkling loose eye shadow from Make-Up Store, Glory, on top. I really like it - colour isn't my strongest point, and I'm not one of those people who can wear five bright eye shadow colours at the same time, looking perfectly natural. Bright lipstick yes, even bright blush, but bright eye shadow is very much out of my comfort zone. Wearing bright colour as an eyeliner was much easier, I think I'll experiment with more colours.
