Off-White Tribute

Before I begin, I want to state that the header is from TheStardollLookbook. As I couldn't write about this sooner, the advertising on Stardoll has now disappeared. So all credit to Sparklewand12 for the image above. 

The final tribute for this season was well received and liked by many. The Off-White tribute garnered attention from all dolls, especially the fashion lovers, as it is the first time that the brand has had it's own feature store. Personally, I was very happy. To me Off-White demands attention, it is urbanised and street-chic but in an unconventional way. 

Two floors were featured in this release, with nine looks in total. The colour scheme draws in the eye - pinks, oranges, blacks and whites, all compliment each-other nicely. Off-White for this tribute season is based off of the S/S 2018 collection.

On the first floor a few of the items really caught my eye - the pink items of course. But for the sake of this review being somewhat easy to read and follow, as always I'll address the looks in order of L to R. The black one-shoulder dress with tulle detailing is interesting. It looks super edgy on the runway, but as I've recently begun to state, some items, to me, don't look as good in graphics as they do in real life. Regardless, this dress is simple to some extent and would look so good with some patterned shoes or big earrings. The next look is a little bit more versatile as it offers more items. I can't say that I'd wear this black top and crop shorts together, but individually they are cool items. The top reminds me of something, an old Tingeling or Basics piece, and I'm talking circa 2012, I swear it's identical. The shorts are giving me newspaperboy-chic, love them. The only critique for the shorts is that for me they sit a bit funny on my doll. The highlight of the look for me is the pink bum bag. I have worn this bag so many times with everything. Bum-bags/Fanny-packs are making a comeback (undecided as to how I feel about this), so it seemed only necessarily to include one in a tribute release. I love the bright pink colour and orange banded detail, it really provides a summery pop to the look. A flamboyant tulle top is not something that I personally would ever wear, but it's cool that Stardoll branched out a bit. I have seen some dolls wearing it, but I'm a bit on the fence. The saving grace for the whole look is the pink pants, again which I swear sit funny on my doll, but I adore them so much. One of my favourite pieces in the whole collection is the floral dress. I have loved using it for layering, either having a top underneath or by using it as a skirt. The print isn't too in-your-face, rather fun and colourful, and still versatile to some extent. Some hanging sunglasses are used as an accessory, and these are awesome. You know how tiny sunglasses are magically coming back into fashion, these are it! The final look on the first floor is wild, it's totally Tudor-monarch crossed with 2000's hip hop star  inspired. Probably some of the best received items, the neck detail and off-the-shoulder white top are super edgy and fashion-forward. I'm a bit undecided on these pants though, cool concept, I just don't think that they suit my style.

The second floor offers some more urban and street-cool looks. The first look uses the same pants and bag from the first floor, yet introduces a cropped white blouse. We all know by now that I adore a white blouse, I did an entire article on them. This blouse is perfect, I have worn this piece a lot too. Perfect for layering, and adding an edgy professional-looking piece to any look. The second look reminds me of a Japanese kimono, maybe it's the belt style and the wrapped look of the jacket - either way, I think it's beautiful. The pants used in this look are great when paired with a plain top. I've seen dolls wear the pants with the blouse from the first look, and it looks great. A leather blazer doesn't sound all that appealing, but the one in the third look is pretty edgy and biker-chic. It might need a bit of experimentation in order to know what works with this jacket and what doesn't, but I love trial-and-error. The final look is a bit kooky. A large structured dress with a super-cropped top. I can't say I'll be wearing the dress, but paired with the cropped top, it does look pretty cool. The top has become very popular, I think due to nothing like it being available anywhere on Stardoll. It's great for adding a more casual element to an otherwise formal look. 

Okay so with all of the clothing and accessories addressed, lets discuss the elephant in the room - THE SHOES. wHaT are these!? Such a disappointment, I had such high hopes until I noticed the awkward plastic wrap present around the whole shoe. Look at all of the shoes from the runway show that were on offer to use as inspiration (below), and Stardoll chose these....mmkay. But that's all I'll say! If you can rock these shoes and make them work, you go boo!

Runway Realness

Overall, the Off-White tribute was a major success in my opinion. The items have been well-received and styled in so many beautiful ways! I was so happy tribute season was concluded with a 'bang'. Were you happy with this release?
