Uber Chio!

"Chio" is just another exotic word to describe an attractive or cute looking girl. As I imagine it, it's more or less like Japanese "kawaii", just not so anime-ish. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm too lazy to do an actual research on this term. Anyway... may I present you my take on chio fashion, great for the upcoming hot summery season.

No change in the avatar, head and eyebrows department - you may find all the necessary links in one of my previous posts. As for the eyes... I still haven't found a satisfactory replacement for my usual ALoyalSacrifice set of peepers that is no longer available. Use whatever feels right.

Skin
One of my personal favourites - Nude skin by LeScandale. The whole look is chio by definition (which I do not now...) just because of this skin. Utterly adorable and cute and sweet and girly and many other adjectives of that sort. I can't believe it's no longer popular, though - I browsed through the "hottest" skins section of the catty... and found it on the 26th page! Come oooon! 26th? Buried under all those atrocious enjoo creations and at least a dozen skins with a freaking overbite... since when is being buck-toothed sexy?! Did I miss a memo or something? Scandalous!

Hairstyle
I must admit I’m not very ecstatic about the hair. This combo was done a while ago, so now I could probably find something that tickles my fancy a lil bit more… but my inborn laziness prevents me from straining myself too much. I do like the hairdo, but the texture leaves a lot to be desired. I wish Java or PH had made this susana hair instead of Raquelle... The bow is a part of the design but if you like your own add-on bows/ribbons, there are derivations with far better hair texture and no bow.
 
Top
I'm a great admirer of MissC and her work. Her catty is simply bursting with wonderfully made items: tops, shoes, and accessories - you name it! This creator offers, among other things, a few cute rompers, from which I chose I love ice cream, because... hell, who doesn't, right?! I could also go with Roses are red, but obviously I was craving a dessert at that time.

Shoes
Talking about MissC... she's a really prolific shoemaker and if I could I'd probably buy most of her amazing shoe designs. Really REALLY well made, with a great attention to detail. You can't really go wrong with any of MissC's shoes. So it was only right to match her ice creamy onesie with a nice Here I go again pair of shoes. What do you think? Chio, isn't it? I think the socks do the trick.

Accessories
Not a very accessorised look. Won't say much about the lashes or the monroe piercing, since I've been using them for quite a while and have already mentioned them before. No need to elaborate.

The cherry-patterned romper inspired me to find a nice set of cherry earrings. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to choose from. Most look flat and unattractive, so I just settled for this Cherry Love pair by CreamPeach as it seemed most three-dimensional.

As for the Tropic Floral tattoo, it's been in my inventory almost since the very beginning of my IMVU journey. But it hasn't aged a bit... I mean, more and more interesting inky creations pop up every day, but this one still looks amazing even though it's kinda old (come on, it was made when IMVU bobbleheads were still cool!). It'd say it's the only product by PLAYB0Y worth looking at.

I don't like the nails I chose to present... I should have used natural looking ones. But oh well. If you're interested, these are Black  Tip Nails by ShedotCom.

I believe the yellow flower ring was a last-minute addendum so it may not match the rest of the outfit very much... but I still like it, dammit! The creator (Miral11M) offers the whole set of yellowy-flowery jewellery, but the ring is by far the best. I do recommend.
