I worked yesterday at the Hot Roast Company Cafe and it was nice to make some money -- I've been getting ready laying out costume-sparkle-clothing for tonight -- going out with my friend who owns the cafe for a Mardi Gras Party at one of our favorite pubs.
I found my white feathered and beaded mask, my butterfly sequin-beaded capelet top (like a poncho-style) in black, gold, and navy-blue, it can 'float' over my black sequined sleeveless tunic-dress I got before Christmas, and I am planning on wearing my full-length off-white velor cape, with white satin lining which I sewed a couple of years ago -- I sewed a band of artificial pearls along both sides of the front of the cape -- gives the cape stability as well as a decorative edging, and I plan to wear my black stretch sparkle tights and white ankle boots. I also have a white and black feather boa, and short fluffy white gloves -- I couldn't find my black or white long evening gloves -- but considering I am just throwing this all together for tonight, I think I am not doing too badly. I was considering wearing a silver "tinsel' wig -- but I don't like how it works with the gold, navy blue and black for the dress -- if it was a gold tinsel wig, perhaps . . . but I have a cute black hat that I am borrowing from Jim, and when I wear the elaborate white mask, it doesn't matter much about my hair. (I've let my hair grow out, and I have baby-fine hair that looks best chin-length with bangs -- so I have been wearing my hair up in a bun or ponytail, or even pig tails) -- but I look great in hats.The contrast of the black and white ought to look stunning -- I haven't worn my long cape in a while -- I originally sewed it to go with my medieval-sleeved long, flowing simple white satin "goddess gown", which I have been wearing at Christmas lately, with a green, brown or black over-tunic, and a circlet of artificial flowers and ribbons crowning my head.
My goodness! Hope you could wade through all of that -- I guess you can see why I like dressing my avatar on Gaia -- it takes a lot less time, and much more comfortable than In Real Life. xD
