8-19-08 Guest Submission from Enigma Bombay

**A quick apology to Enigma, she sent this over a couple weeks ago right before the move and I forgot to post it. Sorry!!**

I received as a gift a pair of Mason Kingsford's just-released, sculpted, high-heeled wedge sneakers and decided I needed to build an outfit around these superb shoes. They have a color-change script for the shoes and laces, so I had a range of shades from which to choose. I headed to a new-to-me store owned by Katat0nik Pidgeon and found some amazing, scripted skirts for L$1; I think the pink skirt mixed with purple shoes is a bright and cheery color combination/contrast.
 
Next, I chose a colorful jacket from Canimal that has both pink and purple in the print; this jacket comes in a pack of six colors, and they really do remind me of candy, as the name says. I love the grafitti look on clothing, especially in rainbow colors.
 
To offset all the bright colors, I fell back on two of my favorite layering pieces, the Zee tank from artilleri (in white, but I tinted it black) and the Yardstick thigh-high socks in midnight from Pushbutton Industries (*PBI*). The socks have a very subtle stripe in them and come in a pack of
13 colors. I liked the effect of the black with the brights, to give the outfit a bit of an edge.
 
Accessories for this outfit include one of my all-time faves, the white lily bangle from Creamshop; I love the flexi-bits on this whimsical yet feminine bracelet. I also picked out more stark necklaces and earrings from Schadenfreude by Allegory Malaprop so as not to compete with the vivid colors on the skirt and jacket. I love the way these three items all have color change scripts in them, and I went with black (for the leather on the collar) and copper for the metal. These jewelery pieces are ones I turn to again and again since the color changes make them so versatile.
 
Bright clothes call for glittery makeup, in my opinion, so for my skin I chose the Classic Glitter in Silver 2 from Celestial Studios by Starley Thereian. I also threw on the colorful "maggie" tattoo from artilleri, for good measure. My hair is ETD's Survive, which, unfortunately, is no longer available since it was a Relay For Life limited edition style. However, Elikapeka has several other similar styles that would work well with this outfit, I included details about the Mira style which has a scripted, color-change headband.
 
I am constantly remixing outfits and had a great time putting this one together for my first Closet Crisis submission!
