I haven't done an extensive research on ZDK, just browsed through her catty... one thing I can say about this dev is that she's definitely NOT my cup of tea. Her outfits ooze naked sexiness, although being perfectly GA. I'm far from condemning it, but I'm not gonna willingly wear it either. I'm kinda surprised something as 'innocent' as this School Uniform was created by her. The idea is pretty standard, not particularly inspired - just another private school uniform with a skirt that would get you spanked with a ruler. I hate the idea of layers on a fitted mesh and you will never persuade me it can look cool - it DOESN'T! I'd maybe survive seeing a vest, something small and not attracting much attention, but not a freaking blazer! I'm not satisfied... and yet intrigued. Again, small details make this look actually work.
If you're interested what avi, head and eyebrows I use, do see this post. For further details - keep reading :)
Skin
I used one of LuckZombie's skins I fell in love with after reading about it on ImvuDesigner. It's called Blume and is simply adorable. The freckles you may (or may not) see are NOT the part of the skin - for unknown reasons they are no longer available.You can use these made by miamew - they work equally well.
Eyes
This time I decided on innocent looking nutsbar's eyes - already had these Cloudy Rose ones and what's more innocent thank pink (...besides white that wouldn't work here :P)? Then I just threw in some pretty M.A.C XL Lashes by NeveahStardust and she's ready for school.
Hairstyle
Nothing special here... I mean, I'm so stuck on three devs that do awesome reds that it's unlike me to go with someone else than them. This intricate Guosty Red hairdo was made by PH - maybe too elaborate for a schoolgirl, but what the heck :P
Shoes
Even if I wanted to wear something less schoolgirly it'd be impossible - ZDK made the whole outfit WITH freaking socks! I don't hate it, but it's kinda restricting... especially since they do make layerable socks and stockings one could wear if desired. I therefore decided on TianXiaoMao's School Shoes that covered the already existing socks.
Accessories
Oh jeeez, this outfit is flatter than a top model's tit... the biggest disaster (apart form the obvious blazer catastrophe) is that atrocious black bow... such things should never be drawn, there are plenty of cute bow-ties in the shop, no reason to botch it in photoshop. Thank God I came across this Jabot (by Vkei) and Gentleman tie (by JadedDayz) to cover this shame. I also took the liberty of adding these two Aristocrat Cuffs (why are they sold separately?!) by ShiroLoliChan.
Since private schools don't allow any jewellery I restricted myself only to the Antique Cameo Ring I found in mujerlatina33's shop.
I imagined this outfit to be girly cute and kinda nerdy. So I added some accents to achieve that look - a random pencil of dozens you can find (this particular one made by Shengum) and Polystyrene's knee Bandaid.
And that's it. Just grab a stack of fancy-looking books and the schoolgirl outfit is finished. And it doesn't look totally like crap! I consider that a success :)
