52 Week Colour Challenge, Royal Purple

Royal Purple...I adore this colour.

When I knew which colour was this particular weeks challenge I dived into my inventory. However, I go distracted by a Sn@tch new release, the Bon Bon Dress. Imagine my delight as I remembered that you usually get all the colours in one purchase, well almost. The purple was in the 'dark' set of dresses but the 'pale' set appealed to me more, so what's a girl to do but get both. The Bon Bon is a strapless corset, laced at the back, top that sits above a real sweetie of a skirt. The skirt stands 'proud' at all times thanks the layers of material. Both design and texturing are genius. A versatile dress that can be both contemporary or retro....I couldn't resist going slightly baroque on the pale Bon Bon.

For the challenge, I went Tudor with a set of jewellery from Azuvah that is a little spikey. I love my SLink shoes so went with those, along with my PXL skin and Truth Tanya hair.

However, I wasnt happy with just plain make up so dug out my Kyoot eyeshadow and went and purchase a Black Liquid lipstick in royale matt (how appropriate).

For my flight of fancy Baroque moment, and as an excuse to showcase a paler clolour of the dress, I also purchased stockings from Sn@tch with floppy tops and bows. So pretty. I alos wore some baroque style shoes I picked up years ago and cannot find the creator for them. For my hair I wanted a hint of the powdered wig and chose a booN hair that hints of such. Fleur, who are no more provided the skin, Beck provided the choker, Kyoot the eyeshadow and Black Liquid the lipstick again.
