We all have a style that we feel partial to, whither it be grunge, punk, goth, classy, or sophisticated we all love wearing something. Personally, I love the professional, and girly look but I am always open to trying something new! A little while ago, I asked you guys to tell me about why you like a certain style. I think Angel's response speaks for everyone. We're all partial to our favorite styles, and can be afraid to step out of our comfort zone!

For this post, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone, and give two new styles a chance. From Boho Chic, to Grunge I think there is a little something in here that you'll love... Enjoy x
To begin I have made a Boho Chic look! Hopefully all of you Bohemian girls like this look as much as I do. I loved experimenting with this style, it's so cute!
What is Boho? Boho-chic is a style of fashion drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences, which, at its height in early 2005, was associated particularly with actress Sienna Miller and model Kate Moss in England and (as "bobo" chic) actress and businesswoman Mary-Kate Olsen in the United States. It has been seen since the early 1990s and, although appearing to wane from time to time, has repeatedly re-surfaced in varying guises. Many elements of boho-chic became popular in the late 1960s and some date back much further, being associated, for example, with pre-Raphaelite women of the mid-to-late 19th century.

Next, is one of the styles I have never tired much of before, that is grunge. Usually, my doll tends to fall into the category of 'girly' so making a grunge look is outside of my comfort zone! I know this look isn't overly grunge, but it is something I found by searching for 'grunge'.
(My outfit is slightly edited. I used Gimp to darken the color of the jacket & top, as well as to straighten her legs)
What is grunge? Grunge fashion is believed to have originated in the United States in the early 1990s. Likely beginning in Seattle, Washington, the fashion came out of the financial hardships of the times, combined with the regional growth of alternative rock music made popular by bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. The style combines elements of punk mixed with inexpensive working class clothing, like jeans and plaid fabrics. The development of grunge also brought back the ripped and shredded clothing popular during the early 1980s. At its height, grunge was in many ways a rejection of the capitalist excesses of the 1980s, but the style was quickly picked up by designers and turned into a well-known fashion trend.

Another style that I decided to show you guys is my personal favorite, girly. Although many of you might not be a fan of the "girly" style, it is something I love. Not only do I dress like a girly girl on Stardoll, but in real life as well. As a young child, I was a tom boy (hard to believe, right?) but now I enjoy dressing up in skirts and high heels! Hope some of you like this look as much as I do!
What is girly fashion?: Girly Girls are generally very dressy! They dress as if they are going to a banquet pretty much on a daily basis. However, this is the stereotypical girly-girly and there are other factors that could make you a "girly" person. Girly-girls usually go for skirts, and dresses but do mix it up with leggings and jeans. Many girly girls like to wear pinks, whites, and many other soft colors. Many of the girls whom are considered 'girly' wear winged black eyeliner, soft eyeshadow, and a pink/ nude lip. Girly girls love to accessorise, and always have matching bags!

I hope everyone enjoyed today's post! I have plans to try out a few more styles (like Cyber Goth and punk-goth) in some future posts, so be on the look out for that...
Also, if you are able to recreate any of these looks using all star-coin items then please post the outfit with #starcoinversion for a chance to be featured in this post and for a prize! (I'm going to close this at 5pm EST today)
Lots of love,
