What Are You Wearing?

Here's what Lithyia has been wearing since I quit several years ago...

You see Lady Lithyia Medeea.
She appears to be a Human from Allace.
She is shorter than average and appears to have come of age. She has long-lashed brown eyes and olive skin. She has long, meticulously kept deep brown hair which falls in loose spiral curls. She has an angular face and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a hammered gold laurel leaf crown, some triangular dangling gold earrings, a silky chiffon robe gathered at each shoulder by an ornate golden brooch, a braided rope cord belt, an ivory damask satchel, a cluster of gold bangle bracelets, an amethyst and gold grape-vine wristlet, and some calf-laced brown leather sandals.

>look crown
A profusion of delicate leaves seem to sprout from the thick gold circlet, creating an elegant crown. Each leaf is made of paper-thin hammered gold, with painstaking detail taken to imprint delicate veins down the center of each.

I'm currently working on a victorian outfit to change it up.

I always liked your Greek/Roman/whichever look. <3

Thanks! It's my favorite outfit but I just need a change and I'm not feeling anything that's currently in my locker, lol!

My winter outfit got some adjustment, and here's how it is now. It's all been made, and I'm happy with it. I admit I tend to use a lot of longs because shows really never get seen.

You see Nilandia Liserna the Mentalist.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She is tall and appears to be youthful. She has keen, vivid faenor-hued eyes and smooth, creamy white skin. She has rich, copper-infused henna red hair adorned with spills of niveous star hydrangeas framed by dark silvered leaves. She has a gentle and delicate face and slightly upswept ears arcing to fine points. Her long, graceful neck accentuates her fragile, finely boned features. A forest green glimaerstone inlaid with a tiny gold leaf is positioned between her eyes, which casts a sparkling gold sheen across her face.
She has an inked spiral of bronze tendrils tightly coiled upon each temple, and a rose-twined ebony key tattoo on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an orb-inset haon talisman, a pure white brushed wool mantle backed in plush snowy ermine, a slim pallid cameline tunic smoothly draped to knee-length, a bracelet of feather-etched ivory and mistwood tiles, some warm white velvet handwraps edged in arctic fox fur, a mistwood beaded leather belt, a pair of icy white wool pants subtly feathered with vaalin frost, and a pair of pointed alabaster doeskin boots lined with soft snowshoe hare fur.

Nilandia fiddles with spills of niveous star hydrangeas framed by dark silvered leaves adorning the area atop her head, and as she does so, the scent of a crisp winter breeze drifts through the air.

Hydrangeas were based on these similar to those I'd seen in a botanical garden's Christmas display.

I also have a muted eggshell suede carry-all fitted with a knotted hazel handle and a soft doeskin gem pouch fastened with a disc of petrified sephwir which I wear when going hunting.

Gretchen

You see High Lady Rohese Bayvel-Timsh'l Illistim the High Priestess of Lumnis.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is taller than average with a slender willowy form and appears to be youthful. She has silver-lashed misty grey eyes and silky smooth, fair skin. She has very long, silvery blonde hair caught up in a fountaining ponytail and banded along its sleek length with platinum rings. She has naturally glossy, rose-pink tinted lips. She has a fey-like countenance with a pair of dainty pointed ears peeking through her hair.
She has an inking of a faint star constellation on her neck, and a cascade of tiny silver stars tattooed over her right eyebrow that fades into her hairline.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a white gold-linked choker, a claw-toggled pristine polar bear skin mantle, a chain-wrapped alabaster silk gown, a platinum wedding ring, and some ankle-tied gold footflower sandals.

>l choker
A double row of delicate white gold links have been polished to a sparkling sheen to create a tightly fitted, yet elegant choker. Tiny yellow diamonds and golden beads have been strung together on a slender cord and threaded through each link, reflecting back points of light with each motion. A platinum setting holds a large colorless feystone roughly carved into a five-pointed star that serves as the choker's hidden clasp.

>l gown
Draping fluidly from ouroboros clasps at the shoulders, this seamless piece of shimmering alabaster silk is cinched by a long gold chain wrapping closely below the chest to cross at the back and encircle the waist. The chain ends at the hips in an intricate knot low at the front with the tasseled ends almost reaching the floor and adding weight to the sweeping hemline.

>l sandals
A loosely-bound ankle chain of pristine gold suspends the fine triangular mesh of ringlets that adorn the top of these sandals. At the vertex of the footflower, a tiny geranium carved with gilt-edged, white jade petals adorns the toe-loops. A small contoured sole of glossed ivory leather protects only the ball of the foot, leaving the heel completely exposed. Elegantly engraved inside the sandals is the name 'Laphrael Miran'ta'.

The choker is a gift from the lovely Maleisse and the sandals, an awesome Laphtastic creation :heart:

You see Eiven Bjorstad.
He has 3 daggers and a vultite-tipped arrow stuck in his chest, and 6 daggers stuck in his back.


I want to wear what this guy's wearing.

You see Lady Traiva Verethundi the Incantress.
She appears to be an Aelotoi of the Mrae'ni Clan.

She is shorter than average and appears to be young and sprightly. She has smoldering, viridian-flecked dark hazel eyes and rose-tinted ivory skin. She has waist length, wavy deep cordovan hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by some twisted platinum hairsticks. She has a heart-shaped face and high cheekbones. She has a pair of jade-veined elongated emerald wings.

She has a pair of white diamond studs in the ridges of both her ears, and a knotwork and dragonfly tattoo on her neck.
She is in good shape.

She is holding a kelyn-capped cherrywood walking stick wrapped with strips of cerulean satin in her left hand.

She is wearing a wide velveteen choker set with a dragonseye sapphire, a sweeping back-slit cloth-of-silver cloak with a deep velvet trimmed hood, a platinum-boned veniom blue satin gown side-laced with pale cyan ribbons, a silk-webbed glowbark fan, an emerald-set gold wedding ring, a gathered purse of dark satin-corded marbrinus, and some platinum-buckled cerulean satin chopines set on thin ora-wrapped heels.

>l tattoo
Stylized dragonflies are inked in shades of blue and green, the hues varying in intensity along the length of each insect. Small deep green circles of intricate knotwork connect the dragonflies to form the appearance of a chain around the neck. The outline of a stag's head is inked in dark gold at the back of the neck, nestled between two dragonflies.

>l ring
A large marquis-cut emerald sits centered in display, flanked by four smaller matched stones of similar color and cut, the whole of the arrangement suggesting a stylized dragonfly. It perches atop a band of fiery reddish gold, engraved about its span with a subtle pattern of sinuous wisps.

She always represents aelotoi fashion very well. =)

Interesting. Maybe they are magical in nature? She is a mage.

Not a mage. Empath. But still with a very scholarly bent. For those wondering, here's what the documentation says:

Quote:

---

While there are exceptions among many of the clans, the following attitudes are most typical among the Aelotoi.
... To the Vaer'sah, jewelry is a way of reveling in the newfound liberty of the Aelotoi. The kiramon are no longer present to stop the Aelotoi from owning gems of their own, so it is an act of defiance and freedom, the Vaer'sah say.
... The Mrae'ni, primarily healers and mages, share the Gaeh'deh hesitation over wearing jewelry. They consider it disrespectful to wear jeweled ornaments when their kin are dying elsewhere for the sake of the kiramon gem-lust. However, the need to know is a driving force behind the Mrae'ni and their actions, and the Mrae'ni are asking themselves the question that very few other Aelotoi have considered: "Why did the kiramon want gems?" Illistim scholars have taught the Mrae'ni about some of the magical and metaphysical properties of various types of gems, and the Mrae'ni are starting to see possession of gems as a new way to help their people. Although they are disgusted by the idea of wearing gems for decoration, the Mrae'ni will sometimes carry a bespelled gem or two and see nothing wrong with that practice.

(Note: emphasis is mine)

Those that have heard Traiva talk about Bre'naere, and then her time on Elanthia, know that despite being Mrae'ni, her attitude toward her "new" freedom is more along the lines of a Vaer'sah: the freedom is something to be reveled in, and she does so whole-heartedly, enjoying as much as is offered to her because she never knows what tomorrow could bring. (Only recently has she begun to accept that she could very well die gracefully from old age.) Her revelry includes enjoyment of precious gems and metals, and she sees her ownership and display of these as a way of honoring her people. This attitude has brought on some wonderfully interesting interactions between Traiva and other Aelotoi! Admittedly, her attitude toward gems and jewelry had to come about because I found out about the documentation quoted above AFTER Traiva had already amassed a sizable collection of jewelry incorporating precious gems and metals, but it fits very well with her overall personality.

And speaking of Aelotoi fashion.. A more traditional Aelotian look:

You see Lady Traiva Verethundi the Incantress.
She appears to be an Aelotoi of the Mrae'ni Clan.

She is shorter than average and appears to be young and sprightly. She has smoldering, viridian-flecked dark hazel eyes and rose-tinted ivory skin. She has waist length, wavy deep cordovan hair divided into several elegantly twisted sections and adorned with some platinum dragonfly hairjewels. She has a heart-shaped face and high cheekbones. She has a pair of jade-veined elongated emerald wings.

She has a knotwork and dragonfly tattoo on her neck, and a pair of white diamond studs in the ridges of both her ears.
She is in good shape.

She is wearing a green and white jade collar, a sweeping back-slit cloth-of-silver cloak with a deep velvet trimmed hood, an embroidered diaphanous viridian saephua with trailing knotted ends, an emerald-set gold wedding ring, a gathered purse of dark satin-corded marbrinus, an ankle-length viridian wrap-skirt, and some thin-soled twisted leather sandals.

>l collar
White jade beads carved into detailed roses alternate with green jade discs etched with stylized wisps. A faceted star emerald cradled by a pearlescent vaalin setting rests between a rose and disc to clasp the collar around the neck.

(The saephua and wrap-skirt are scripted ones from this past summer's FWI festival.)
