The Trunk Challenge

Well, it is time for the Trunk Challenge.  With this challenge each model is given a trunk of clothing and jewelry.  The models are to make two ensembles with the contents of the trunk.  We can add accessories as long as there is nothing like it in the trunk.

I thought there would be two or three outfits and jewelry sets. Boy, was I wrong.  It took me over 2 hours to unpack everything.  Prism and Glint were extremely generous with a wide variety.

So, how do you pick from all that was in the trunk.  What I did was look at each item as I opened it.  If the item really caught my attention, I wrote the name of the outfit down.  At the end, I had two gowns, one pant outfit, and one skirt outfit.

The gown I selected out of the two was the Julianne gown by Prism.  I just loved the contrasting colors, the sleek fit with flowing back skirts.  To tie my pieces together, I used the circles in the skirt.  In the trunk was a beautiful jewelry set by Glint;  Large Gem Vintage Beaded Necklace, Bracelet, and Earrings.  The Glint set was black metal with diamonds and a large round red ruby.  The hair I chose was  Twisted Sister in onyx by House of Beningborough  because of its circular shape.  The shoes I chose were the Minerva Sandal by Hucci because the back of the shoe had the same shape as the back skirts of the dress.  I added a small red bow at the base of the hair circle to soften the transition to the hair and to give an even vertical appearance of red.

My second outfit is a combination of the skirt set and pant set that caught my eye.  I just fell in love with the jacket from the Georgia Pant Set in black by Prism.  This short waisted 3/4 sleeve jacket has a wonderful black and white baroque style pattern.  I added the jacket to the skirt I loved from the Giulia skirt set from Prism.  This black leather high-waisted skirt has a parallel row of gold buttons.  I ran into one small problem.  The shirt from the Georgia set poked through the skirt half way down.  I worked with changing sizes, but nothing worked.  Luckily, the Georgia jacket has two options; with top and with out top.  So, I removed the top and found another top in the trunk; Leah Tank Top - News set by Prism.  Because of the prominent gold button on the skirt, I went with gold jewelry.  I chose the lovely Gold Link Opal and Pearl necklace and gold bangles by Glint.  I finished off the outfit with a pair of black pumps, black clutch, and Heth's Haute Couture new fascinator Arya, which has a very similar black and white pattern.
