Sisters in HotBuys: October 2017

Welcome back to our second Sisters in HotBuys post! Here comes our thorough review of what Stardoll has brought us for the month of autumn, pumpkin spice latte and Halloween.

HOT BUYS - October 2017

BURBERRY INSPIRED TARTAN WOOL PANTS (IT GIRLS, 22SD)

J: Not bad... The shape is nice and I like the tartan pattern. The colours are a little bit too bright for this kind of item in my opinion, less saturated colours would look better.

M: I do like the shaping, like high waisted pants, very tight and with those straps to put over or under (your choice) shoes. I haven't really seen anyone wearing these kind of pants, but I think they are really original and could look very cool. However, I agree with Judith and although I like tartan, I'm not sure about those vivid colours for those  pants. 

HIGH NECK DESIGNER SHIRT (Pretty n' Love, 23SD)

M: No. I'm not buying, too expensive and classic. It's too short, so you have to combine it with all high-waisted things or it will look weird. I don't like the golden clip either or the neckline. Pass!

J: Yeah, I agree. It's very classic for a basic item and very simple for a cool extravagant statement piece. It's not ugly but totally, meh!

NAVY KNITTED HALF CAPE (Bonjour Bizou, 17SD)

J: Oh. My. God. What is this? Why this shape? It doesn't make sense at all. Who would wear a scarf like this? It covers almost the whole outfit! And even with a different shape, the colour isn't special either and the scarf on itself doesn't have anything. A big NO, NO, NO. Still don't understand what were they thinking...

M: I would not even buy this even if it costed like 1 SD. I think that's all I have to say. 

CHLOE INSPIRED LIGHT BLUE GLASSES (IT Girls, 14SD)

M: I think I have a very little problem with glasses. At first when I saw them in the add I did not like them too much, but now putting them on my doll... They look very nice and cool. All glasses always give that cool vibe to any outfit, that's my problem. Like I NEED to add glasses to everything. I'm not buying at first, but I leave them there for later, and if you see them on the outfits below... that means I ended up purchasing. 😉

J: We might have to fight for this HotBuys sis... I like them too! I like that they have such a light shade, I think almost all the sunglasses I own have dark shades, and they look really nice. Sweet and with a kind of vintage touch. I quite like them and the price it's fair.

BURBERRY INSPIRED KNITTED SKIRT (Bonjour Bizou, 20SD)

J: Nice! I like this knitted texture and the shape looks good. I think it can make very cute and cozy outfits but still really fashionable. I'm not entirely sure about its possibilities though. I mean, I think I would tend to style it always in the same way and would end up not using it a lot for that reason. Don't think I'm going to buy but it's a nice item. Not like the scarf we got a few days ago. 

M: So cute! I know this dutch word that describes this skirt perfectly: GEZELLIG! I would definitely buy if I owned some more stardoll coins (oopsies I'm too lazy to pay). I think I will try an outfit on the plaza though, in case I love the final result I'll make sure to buy before it goes.

TARTAN RED T STRAP HEELS (Evil Panda, 16SD)

M: Those shoes doesn't cause any reaction on me. I like tartan. OK. I like that elegant shape. OK. Both together? OK. Am I buying? FOR WHAT? I don't know, it's not that I don't like them, but I don't like them. They are just... OK. 

J: I don't like them. If I wanted to wear tartan on my feet I would do it in socks or in stilettos, definitely not sandals. The design would have to be a lot more interesting to make me reconsider these are just average sandals looking weird with a tartan print on.

BURBERRY INSPIRED KNIT (IT Girls, 21SD)

J: I don't like it. I guess it's not bad but the colours are too vivid for my taste and for this kind of sweater. I like cozy sweaters to be more soft to the eyes... I don't know, it doesn't convince me much, but at least the graphics are good. 

M: It's not bad but it's not good either. Looks comfy, the pattern is very different from what we have going on in stardoll. But... not sure of the shape. Again, it will look cool with high-waisted thingies, or over dresses, like it was tucked on itself, but not with everything. I like my virtual clothes to be versatile and not limit me. They are already pretty limited, not like in real life, so please, don't limit me even more!

BOWLER INSPIRED HAT (Fallen Angel, 13SD)

M: What bothers me most with this hat is that  you can't actually wear any hair with it. In fact, it will be very complicated trying to find out what fits. And that drives me crazy when I'm styling my doll. The thing is that I like it, I don't own any hat like that and it's different and cool, but... I don't wanna have those hair problems and not being able to wear that hat just because my doll's hair don't fit in there. 

J: Totally true about being hard to fit any hairstyle underneath that. I think the hat it's nice but I see it so little and tiny. I'm guessing that was the intention but between that and the unfitting problems it's kind of ridiculous to me.

DESIGNER BROUGE BOOTIES (Fallen Angel, 17SD)

J: I like them. They're not my style at all and I'm not going to buy them for that but the shape is nice, the style is cool, the price is reasonable and the quality is perfect. I love all the little jewellery, sparkly details, looks really good.
M: Woho! Rocker booties. They remind me a lot of those Chloe booties that everyone was wearing couple years ago. They are cool and they can look cool in a casual outfit for sure, but I feel like I would have bought those, like... those two-three year ago. Not now. 

MOSS GREEN CHLOE INSPIRED BAG (Bonjour Bizou, 23SD)

M: No, I don't like it. It does not give any kind of feeling for me. I'm sure it does not look bad in outfits, but it's green, it's too rounded, and this wooden hang is not of my taste. Not buying.

J: I like the wooden hang but agree in everything else. Specially in the too rounded part, that's basically what is completely pulling me away.

THE OUTFITS.
