I had almost overlooked this photo that I had taken earlier in the month. I wore this at the Miss Virtual Diva live auditions, and I liked the look so much that I took a photo.

Creating the look
Well, it’s an unspoken rule that at MVD, staff will wear only Virtual Diva creations. I feel that it doesn’t need to be said, but sometimes people do not think that they are representing a brand, and will want to wear whatever they want. Wearing Chop Zuey is part of my personal brand, but over the years I have had the honor to eventually join the Chop Zuey family as both a blogger and a supermodel. So I will try to wear Chop Zuey as much as I can, unless something else catches my eye, and will work will with my current outfit. Flexibility is key when you are a blogger or a model.
Virtual Diva’s creations demand that you have a couture look with them. If I would wear long hair with this dress, I would have to make sure that the hair wouldn’t cover up vital parts of the dress. So it was either an updo look, or a short hair. Even though I like this hair from elua, I might have gone with an updo look had I found a hair that looked better than this current one.
With makeup, I went with a smokey eye and a neutral lip, but with a touch of color. Studio Exposure had just the thing. Looking at the photo, I can’t recall what what eyeshadow that is. The skin that I am wearing also has a darker eyelid. So it’s either that or the Boudoir shadow from Pink Fuel. I do not always credit the skin that I wear, because I do not change it too often – same with my eyes from Ikon.
Tres Fleurs is the kind of jewelry that can be worn with a causal outfit, and not look too overwhelming. It can also be part of a formal, more couture look and can hold its own against the deliberate style of most couture gowns. The jewelry set can change colors through a texture hud, and with 12 colors each for the base and each section of the flowers, it’s easy to color coordinate it with your look.
