~Portfolio Part One~


User Image Inventory Overview

102 pages of items, broken down:
25 - Black/Gray (shares with White/Gray)
17 - Blue
11 - Brown
10 - Green
7 - Orange
12 - Pink/Purple
14 - Red
10 - Yellow
28 - White/Gray


User Image Summary:
Your inventory has lots of great accessories and lots of variety in color (though you tend slightly towards the cooler tones). You have some really nice new items too. I would say that you have some old commons you will probably never wear again. But that is not such a bad thing. You can give them away as you wish, or revive them at some time. Some of the more expensive items you have seem a bit hit-or-miss though so you might want to play with certain color trends and build them up rather than scattering your purchases among all the different colors.




~Portfolio Part Two~


User Image Style Overview:

Jode you like bright bold colors - you like making a statement with what you wear on your avatar. You have a good eye for what is pretty and that is reflected in the items you have chosen to buy. Sounds like you have a couple of "avi moods", one being sort of girly and cute, and the other is more androgynous. Either way you like to match to some extent though you are not OCD about it. I would say that for you it would be important to pick some some color combinations that you like and build them up into a more comprehensive wardrobe so the items you buy are not so scattered in the spectrum. It's good to be a risk taker in style, but also you have to know what your wardrobe will do for you with that expensive item you are considering.

You don't have a mouth. I know some people do not like mouths, but I have to wonder why. A mouth can be an accessory like anything else. But I will work without a mouth since there is none on your base. ^_^

User Image Category Sets:
Girly/Whimsical/Light
Dramatic/Bright/Cute
Intense/Exotic/Matching

User Image Girly/Whimsical/Light:
Here I am using the requested Mint Buttercream item which of course is very girly so when you use it you want to sort of play that up. I teamed it with an item you do not have to bring out the matching aspect and that is the Dandy skin. Twilight skin will overlay the Dandy skin making a nice contrasting combination. I even worked in that other item you like the la Fondue. I made another one just playing around and adding in some more pink so you could play with the colors a bit on this one. I put the mouth in as an accessory in the second one and the shades are the rose color instead of orange.

- Main inventory item: Mint Buttercream
- Consider buying: Dandy's Reprise (for the skin)
Example:

User Image Dramatic/Bright/Cute:
You mentioned an interesting color combo, gold, blue and orange. I noticed you have the Jinx item which is a very cool item that I don't own but should. At any rate, I have no idea if it layers over the bustier like this or not. Please let me know. Still I thought it was cute. I tried it more toned down in the second one and actually using the Dandy skin I recommended above and just messing around with some of the other items you have more in the blue spectrum.

- Main inventory item: Jinxi's Charm/Nestegg/Inari's, etc.
- Useful common(s): Boots, stockings
Example:

User Image Intense/Exotic/Matching :
One of your color selections was "gold/green/brown" which is really nice because you can do so much with those colors. You also wanted to use the whip item so I decided to combine them. You just don't want the whip to overpower the avatar so I wanted to use some more "reddish" colors in with the browns. I found those Bonsai wings in your inventory, very nice as an accent piece and I finished up with other green bits. I wavered very much over the eyes, you don't have a ton of eyes and didn't indicate you would change yours, so I purposely selected the eyes for a more distant emotion.

- Main inventory item: Henrietta, Whip of Fire, Bonsai, etc.
- Consider buying: Dapper Gent's Leather Brown Vest
Example:

~Portfolio Part Three~


User Image Budget: 1k gold

User Image Suggested to buy:
At least try to get the Dapper Gent's Vest if you can save up. It is near golden and I bet you would use it. ^^


User Image Sell recommendations:
You can donate or sell some of the less useful commons, you just have to go through them. There are some other items you probably don't use like the Dandii spoor thing and the Corallus, so you can think about if you want those or not.

Thanks Uma!

Actually, when I went through my invo the last time, I already sold some things, so I have a 70k budget... ^^

The vest indeed looks like a cool thing, gonna buy that one and I'll check on that Dandy-item thing... C:

I especially love the first TekTeks, with the dress... <3

As for the mouth, I sometimes add in the white one, since that one could look like a mouth, but the other one's look odd imo... XD That's why I removed it at the time I could... :B


I'm still in doubt though if I should change my hair, I'm really liking the 7k hairstyle that recently came in, but I'm not so sure yet about the color...
Edit: I think it's the style you used in the 2nd style... ^^

I am so glad you enjoyed your portfolio. About the hair, the only problem with the new hair is that it covers up so much that can be accessorized. Wings are hidden, earrings are hidden, hats render the hair odd. So think carefully about it. I am glad you like the minty one, I like that one too. My favorite is the last one I did though as I was impressed at how well the Henrietta went with the other items. I have to get that item.

Ow, it really hides wings? D: I dislike that... ._.

Henrietta had cool hair and since I'm a wig-nerd, I bought the bird... XD
