~Portfolio Part One~


User Image Inventory Overview

14 pages total
4 Black/Gray
3 Blue
2 Brown
3 Green
1 Orange
2 Pink/Purple
2 Red
2 Yellow
3 White/Gray

User Image Summary: Your inventory leans towards darker colors and blues which is not unexpected. And you said you like blacks mixed with different colors, but there were some omissions, for example green, you did not mention that color but actually because of a couple of EI's you have 3 pages of green. Red does not seem to be a favorite or orange, indeed your inventory is highly weighted towards "cooler" hued items.

I would say your biggest limitation and the reason you say your avi's look "weird" is because of the palette constriction imposed by the skin color you want to wear. So unless you change that you will always have to match it, but that is ok, it's just something to keep in mind when you see the sample avatars below.

Your second most limitation is the 7k budget. Obviously I cannot update your inventory with that kind of a budget so what I did instead was suggest things you could sell to make up for the low budget. Then you can quest and save for other things.


~Portfolio Part Two~


User Image Style Overview: Roses, you like cool tones and calming colors, black, white and blue were the colors first mentioned. But there is another side to you as you mentioned in your color faves and that is pink and white. Pink and white, however, are also soothing tones, so you want to keep that in mind. I am not saying toss out all the warm colors, I am just saying to use them judiciously.

I am going to make a couple of suggestions all in the context of you preferring to wear the blue elf skin. I suggest you update your hair style to the Girl's Modish Hair. It is similar to what you have now, but is not one of the "old" styles, it looks more like a modern Gaian. Also, it comes in very good colors so you can change at whim for only 25g. Also, you should always consider which mouth you choose. So I have used a couple different ones. Eyes can be changed easily now.

Next I am going to make some sample avatars but I am going to add items that if you like them you may have to quest for them. They are just suggestions though, to hopefully inspire you.


User Image Category Sets:
Dramatic/Stylish/Dark
Light/Soothing/Fem
Dark/Fierce/Intense
Exccentric/Unexpected


User Image Dramatic/Stylish/Dark: Use blacks! I choose grey hair and green eyes to match the cloak colors.
- Main inventory item: Orindae (cloak)
- Consider buying: Hats. You need some nice head gear.
- Consider buying: Colored bracelets - you need some accessories.
- Useful common(s): Gloves
Example:
User Image
This avatar would cost you about 12k over what you have already.


User Image Light/Soothing/Fem: Ok, go for the colors you don't usually use! I chose pink and white since you said you liked them. Change your hair and eyes to suit but watch out for the pink eyes, they can look like rat eyes depending on what you wear with them. XD
- Main inventory item: Victorianna Heather Gray Lace blouse
- Consider buying: Pearls - cute item but needs contrast like white gloves
- Consider buying: Ai the Lucky Cat Bib - I love mine!
- Useful common(s): Thick Pink Wool Socks
Example:
User Image
This avatar would cost you 25k over what you have already.


User Image Dark/Fierce/Intense: Use blacks, lol.
- Main inventory item: Assassins Guise (Protection)
- Consider buying: Stiletto Boots for some flair.
- Consider buying: Stone Guardian Mask (wings)
- Useful common(s): Stockings of all types
Example:
User Image
This avatar would cost you 23k over what you have already.


User Image Exccentric/Unexpected: Here is where you do something...well..unexpected.
- Main inventory item: Angelic Headband
- Consider buying: Celestial Wrap - a pretty item in cool colors
- Useful common(s): Hair pins for color
Example:
User Image
This avatar would cost you 28k over what you have already.


~Portfolio Part Three~


User Image Budget: 7,000 gold

User Image Suggested to buy:
Hats
Bracelets
Gloves
Hairpins

These are all in your budget. The other options above are just suggestions to inspire you for quests or to think about those color schemes.


User Image Sell recommendations: I think you should get rid of some of the colors that you did not mention in your favorite combo list. There are a couple items that are a bit outdated and/or hard to match. Why not sell them and then invest in items that you can match better in a variety of ways.


The Experiment
Pink and Black Saloon Girl Feather
Tavern Wenches Skirt
Fai Coat
Green Corallus
All Jenny A-line dresses
Sakuras cloak
Doggy Headgear

Thanks Uma! The Jenny dresses are something I'll keep, because I'm a giant packrat, either I'd keep them or buy them back. But I will do pretty much everything else, because I trust your judgement. I cant see any avatars right now, but I'll see them around 11. I'll make a better comment then, too. Kk? I really appreciate it!!

Yeah, I am a packrat too. lol
PostPosted: Sun Aug 09, 2009 7:49 pm


I really loved the avatar suggestions, and I agree that I should buy the things mentioned. I'm a giant packrat, like I said, and I will probably keep everything until I no longer like the outfit I bought them for, which is why I have two of the Experiments, XD.

I will probably start switching between my Star hair style and the Modish, mostly because I'm rather attached to this one, but I do like the Modish one.

Thanks Uma! I'm really glad the you decided to help me out!

Actually, thank YOU, for being a very patient and wonderful test subject. I think I learned the most so far from the constraints put upon me by blue skin and limited wardrobe. It's hard to be fashionable and really cool looking within a budget, but that was the first principle that Fashion G-mergency was built upon. If you like one or 2 of them then I am very glad to hear it. smile

Your welcome?
It was no problem, I just hope you weren't upset that it took me so long to get to it. I was banned from the computer since Friday XD.
Anywho, I'm glad I could help YOU learn too. I like all four, actually. That's pretty cool. I didn't know that about FG.
The only thing I don't change often is my skin and hairstyle. I should do that more often. Lol.
