...with DutchDoll!

I like fancy costumes - my inventory is full of stuff that wouldn't be considered wearable in RL... but thank God, this is not real life and I can prance around in my fairy suits and Batman capes. Probably that's why DutchDoll's Steampunk Schoolgirl outfit caught my attention - it's actually good, probably the best from the five I was gifted by IMVU. I'm not a particular fan of this dev, she never wowed me... but the steampunk school uniform is an original well-executed idea (at least it's not yet another slutty schoolgirl 'fit that I hate with every cell). By itself it looks rather flat and uninteresting, but that's when accessories come along to save the day. I like it a lot... do you?

Since I usually use the same avi, head and eyebrows in all my combos, no reason to write about them all over again - you can find the details in this post.

Skin
If there's anyone out there who doesn't love LuckZombie's skins, I'll personally slap them across the face. How can you not love Bisque? Or any other skin tone she made? Crazy! 

Eyes
As usual I won't be able to link you, as the item is no longer available... I have yet to find eyes as awesome as these. Additionally, I used M.A.C XL Lashes by NeveahStardust again - they seem to be my favourite lately. 

Hairstyle
Absolutely adorable and chio orange Catrina hair I got from my IMVU bestie, Coco. It was made by RavenVampxx ... that bright copper shade looks really steampunky!

Shoes
I initially planned to wear heavy boots, but they somehow argued with the rest of the outfit... so I settled with SteamPunk Heels by NivStone. Not bad, but not exactly what I was going for either. Unfortunately, I got weary with looking... yeah, I admit I did a half-ass job on this one.

Accessories
Another heavily accessorised look, and I'm not in the mood to write a long elegy about each and every product... So, starting from the top:

Steampunk Hat by TrakahanTiTeutonia - the texture could be better, but it's still fantastic and I take my hat off to the creator. 
some standard piercing - n00bish Black Earrings by Flexy and Monroe by Cursive (love it!)
the Aristocrat Jabot (a beautiful cameo!!!) by ShiroLoliChan and Pharmacist's Ms. Earth Cuffs
Lush Gold ring made by Limpy
and

I also used some random book as a prop... any old-looking book will do, I guess.
