Shoes

Shoes equip on your feet. Shoes come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Choose the right style for your outfit.
Equip under
Equip over



If you can't find shoes in the colors you need, sandals can come in handy. Say you want a pair of green and gold shoes but can't find any. You can use a green pair of sandals and gold socks. You could also use a gold pair of sandals and green socks. Voila, instant green and gold. :}


Second Layer Shoes
Some shoes layer over other shoes. For the most part, this makes no difference since the shoes underneath are completely hidden. There are two cases where this type of layering becomes interesting. It's interesting when the bottom shoes have extra things like wings or when the bottom shoes are slippers.

Examples
blade's boots, clutch rollerblades, sp work boots?

If the second layer shoes are paired with Gift of the Goddess (Athena's Enlightened Shoes), the wings (and wings only) on those shoes will stick out of the second layer shoes.

Slippers
Some slippers are cuddly cute animal slippers. The "heads" on those slippers often layer in front of pants so that their heads aren't cut off. These slippers can also be layered with second layer shoes

Quick list of general layer pattern, then Separate posts/sections for each kind of item.
Also include a quick sheet with the starter items.

~then lists of the oddballs.
Like, list shirts.. but be sure to mention undershirts and wool tops.
And skirts, but mention beatnik and egyptian wraps

Yeah Cabbi. I can see your dilemma. I would maybe just list some odd-ball items? >w< One's that really help when layering or layer weird/different. One's that avatar aficionados, like us, use commonly. That's the only thing I can think of.


On another note..
I really like my current avatar.
The simplicity of it baffles me, because normally I have 20+ items on an avatar.
Also, I'm trying to get that bit of orangey yellow to the feet, or should I just ignore it all together and remove the hairpin? Any suggestions?
Hmm... yeah, I guess that would work. I could give a general explanation of what to expect. I could then add a list of the oddball items, but keep it cut short to pitfall items that are used a lot or just look like they'd be useful. i guess a little bit is better than nothing.
I'd probably try for more general. :3 You don't have to be an avatar aficionado to run into layering problems. Anndd I think the aficionados might use items that the majority don't care for much. You know, 'cause they like to try to be different~

Simplicity is good too. x3 XD I agreed up until the last line. I thought you were talking about your current grey/red/green avatar. The combo does look great. :}

can help me? what items layer under shirt?
What Memo and Duckies said.

And these layer under shirts:
Swim tops
Bras
Bathing suits
Longjohns
starman suits
g-team ranger bodysuit
spacey body suit tops
ghost hunter jump suits
queen bee dress

And if the shirt has no sleeves these will layer under them;
long black sparkle top
starter urban guy vests (i forget the exact layering. I think you can't wear skirts with it.)
starter athletic girl shirt (i forget the exact layering. I think you can't wear skirts with it.)
Note: Spacey body suit tops and longjohns will layer under the long black sparkle top. Wool tops, undershirts, bras, swim tops will not.
bras, swim tops, wool tops, undershirts will layer over urban guy vests.
It's all really weird. > <

And I know there are a few more... but that's a lot of little items to list out. ^^;;


plus both skater jackets.
