Your outfit would still be awesome if you took out ol'Lionboy, but there's something very... I dunno... Very Project Runway, Model-Matching-the-Accessory about it. So I find it kind of extra awesome with the lion in the picture. With the dopey look on the lion and the high-fashion look to the head area especially.

Uhm... >_> Yeah, I did just get Project Runway Season Four in the mail on Monday. Only got to watch one episode so far, though.

What about the fact that I'm using three different colors, and two of them are different shades of brown? XD

*salutes*
will do madam ese!

*runs off to try solid black belt*

Seiki you can't take out leo! Hes too cute :P and hardly used <<

i agree with pappy on the last part

<saluts slow back>
Wish you could have a tad more white down below
but i dont think thats possible without ruining the look

H'okay. This challenge is harder that it looks. Especially since all the secondhand-looking headgear is not in the MAC and only came this December. 8DD;; Ah wells~

Other random tries. =\



And, just in case my old ones happened to be better:

yeah I tried with the white crew socks with the black stripe but it just looked wrong :/
ah well... I really want to add more layers and such, but I caaaaan't D:
havta keep it secondhandish and under 3k

Only white thing I can think of is the silver anklets, but those won't go with the look at all, so, nevermind. >.>;;

I dunno what else you can add to yours, slow. =O Maybe a black hairpin, but ack, it might also ruin your current look. >.>;;

Okay, how's my avatar for this round? >__< Should I lose the goggles?

Ryl: I like your third look. <3

Creps: I'm not sure what I think. It's aesthetically pleasing, but at the same time I'm not sure it all matches.

The goggles match, but they don't look second-hand.

heres my three possiblilities for this round I think

They all look equally second-hand.

thanks ^.^

I worked hard to make them so. I still think three is my favorite one though.

cora
That hairpin doesn't look second hand to me, I think the second fits the theme best

... I'm kinda meh on mine atm, it fits with my sort of feeling of second hand but I don't know whether every one else will agree... gah, I don't know how to make it pop without going over 3k and forgoing the theme :/

Cora: Definitely number three. It appeals to me the most.

i say neither
1 looks more hobo,
not second hand
2 looks more second hand, but could be seen either way, second hand or first hand(?lol)
and 3 looks hobo too, second hand doesnt mean hobo

I prefer number two as well, if it means anything. The hairpin is borderline "not-so-second-hand", but IMHO you can easily argue that it is second-hand based on the rest of the look.

I agree the other outfits look look a bit 'hobo'-esque.

But your mileage may vary. ^^;

When you guys start to send in your entries, make sure to include the total that the avatar costs! Remember, they need to be under 3000!

any suggestions/opinions on my av?
does it seem second hand to you guys?

I'm not too keen on the hat, but the overall look does look as if you put it together out of a second-hand shop without looking hobo-ish. :yes:

Slow: The colors match well and are evenly spaced, and the layering is done really well. I much prefer this belt to the one you had before. I truthfully don't find it very aesthetically pleasing as a whole, but I can't explain why. The technical aspects are all done well.

Edit: XD What do you guys have against looking hoboish? I think the hobo look can be very nice.

thanks CK ^^

cami
XD it's not particularly aesthetically pleasing to me either, I really wish I wasn't constrained by the theme and price limit, I'd layer it up and then I'd like it more
I do like it for the theme though...

theres nothin wrong with a hobo avvie
but the theme is not hobo

Oh, hobo fits squarely within the theme of second hand. You don't think hobos wear second hand clothes?
