Avatar dressing habits
 

Ok, so I have a few quirks when it comes to dressing my avie. I don't suffer from the OCD everything-must-match syndrome that some do. But I have my own little habits, and I'm interested what other people's are too.

My first is a tendency to treat my avie like a real person, and if it's cold outside, I'll put more clothes on her, don't want her getting chilly :lol:

Also, I'll make sure she's got socks or stockings on under her boots, as boots with bare feet are nasty!

And she'll nearly always have pretty coloured undies on, even if no-one's going to see them.

Another habit I like to indulge in is to see just how many items I can get on without them being visible and spoiling the outfit. This is an amusing pasttime when I'm wrapping her up against the cold especially, because what can seem like a fairly skimpy outfit, could in actual fact consist of up to 5 different layers of items :lol:
Sexy boots with stockings and 2 pairs of socks on underneath them >< and so on..

So does anyone else have any interesting little avie dressing habits that they want to share? Or am I just a freak? :ninja:

your just a freak :P

i guess black and red, all the same shade, otherwise :talk2hand:

but then again i can't really be in this, cos i can easily make whatever i want xD

Jelly is silly. xD

I just try to match colorwise. :B
And....I usually have at least one holdable. : D

My avvy is always pretty skanky. She shows her tummy pretty much 70 percent of the time and always wears short skirts. xD;
Which is a little strange since I never show any tummy or cleavage and rarely wear skirts. 8D

My fears are being confirmed by people who have and still do spend a lot of time around me, I'm just not normal ><

Wow jelly, I had no idea you dressed so meticulously. O_O XP

I don't have any clothing quirks that I can think of. I certainly don't dress for the weather and I hardly ever put other underwear on besides the basic stuff. :lol: I just try to match pretty much.

Well, my habit is that I have a few "set" outfits whose components I'm very reluctant to change. I set my dream avis and quests accordingly and only rarely will I equip two items from different "sets" at the same time. And if I decide that I want to make a new set, I usually start off with an item that I rarely see on others. I don't care if my avatar looks like so many others, but still...

My avatars are usually based around a theme, and I refuse to make them skimpy, no matter the weather. I do not really care about using more than two items from one set, so I have plenty of avatars that consist many items from one set. Matching isn't my biggest priority, but I get called out for it sometimes when I don't o.o;; xD So I tend to make them match. Balance and flow are important to me though. xD

Hn.. I can't say I notice any quirks, but I'm sure I have them.

Well I do find that I'll start an avi with an item that I want to use, or I'll have a look that I want to go for and then in the middle it entirely changes. The item I want to use disappears and is replaced or just removed entirely. I sometimes go through five outfits at a time until I find something I like.

And... the moment I see someone else's outfit that I like what I liked about my own deflates and sometimes that sends me trying on different outfits. :lol:

LOL. Jelly. :hug: Yeah, I think you're one of the few people who would bother putting socks or undies on an avatar if those items weren't going to be seen. :3 (But you're not the only person I've heard mention that they do this. I just can't remember who else admitted to doing that.)

For me, well... everyone knows I resist changing my hair color or style....

I do tend to dress more towards what I'm feeling at the time I'm making my avatar. So if I'm a little chilly (even during the summer), I don't mind adding more clothing layers on her. And if I'm overheated, the clothing layers come off. But I try not to "over" or "under dress" for the season. I'm not going to throw on winter-type items during the summer or dress in a skimpy outfit during the winter, even if I'm cold (in the summer) or super hot (in the winter).

And since I have this vague idea in the back of my mind that "CK" as a 'character' is sort of a magical girl/sorceress, I rarely dress my avatar in casual clothes. Or, when I do, it only lasts a few days at most before I dress her in something more fitting for that sort of character. XD;

As for color scheme... I tend to prefer to dress in cool colors (blue, purple, green) with white, gold or black accents. Though I wear a lot of red/black/white or red/black/gold as those items are the correct style of what I want, even if it's not in the color shades that I want. (Maybe we can get the Chinese Dress in some cool-color recolors...)

I'm just a freak and swing from looking freaky, like now, or looking perfectly normal.

I need to wear all black/red/white. That's just me. And I always need a button shirt with a vest or anything expensive looking like that.

My avi always has underwear on whether or not they are seen, and socks under boots, even if they aren't seen, though socks + sandals is a never. I dress them like you do Jelly...Though mine does always have a 'princess-y' look to her... What can I say, I'm a princess at heart. And princesses must be dressed nicely, from head to toe. >.> *smoothes out her skirt* yesh. <3

and I only show skin when it goes with the outfit. More often then not though, I have her covered.

On a lot of the other sites which I have clothes on, I go for black and white. I'm so simple in that sense. I can't help it I really love those two colours together!

But I like the idea of treating it like a person that's pretty cute.

I generally go by a basic color scheme or a central theme as well. If I'm halfway into a quest I will have the items that I have gotten on with the clothes I have on at that time. And I keep them there until I have finished my quest then I just put on the quest outfit alone. I am in the middle of my Halloween quest at the moment and I'm putting together my witch costume. Unfortunately until that quest is finished I must keep on my clothes from my Phoenix Jubilee avvie. (I was missing from the site since then basically...) It's a OCD thing I have. (I'm not really OCD more like just plain obsessive...) I guess that's a quirk and I must always have something pink and some kind of weapon with my avvie at all times. Right now her weapon is the staff thingy next to her.
