Howdy, ladies! (And anonymous male readers. I know you’re reading this. Right now. I can see you through my computer). Well, I was having a hard time thinking of a “theme” (give me suggestions! I can always use suggestions to decrease the stressful process of having to open Polyvore and sigh and be like, “Is it time for this indentured servitude, again?”) but then the s0-obvious-it-hurt idea to just make a rainbow of sets hit me. You’ll see the mixed results below.
Notes: The Yellow set has a significant amount of blue in it. Sorry for the contamination. The Purple set looks like bullpucky because purple is the worst, most offensive color in the world. Lit’rally no designers make anything good in the color purple. When I think of Purple I think of Chuck E. Cheese, incestuous royals, wilting lilacs (which makes me think of the Nancy Drew book Mystery at Lilac Inn), and death.
Also, you may have no noticed there are no pants in these sets. I just noticed myself. I pledge to be more inclusive of different types of lower-body covering in the future.
Lastly, if I could pick myself up and haul my be-robed butt into one of these pictures, it’d be a toss-up between Orange and Green. Orange looks like summer and youth, but Green looks like the forest primieval.

Polyvore takes away the bad, bad cravings. I used to have an uncontrollable urge to buy fashion magazines, and to keep buying fashion. But, since fantasy really is more fun when it’s fantasy, playing dress ups is way better when my credit card isn’t involved.

I’m an old hand, I’d be happy to offer my Polyvore expertise.
Oohh! I like your sets because they include a lot of pieces I would actually wear. A lot of the time when I’m doing mine, I’m more focused on a theme and less on actually whether or not I LIKE a top or skirt or whatever. I’m friending you so I can check out more!
As someone who loves purple, you have convinced me to try Polyvore to make a kickass purple thing.
I have no idea how to make the thing not huge. It was square on my screen when I was working on it.

Oh, and also? I want the red and orange sets, plzkthx.
That’s lovely! I have to concede that lavender is a much nicer shade of purple than most of the bright, eye-searing purples I used. I mostly dislike purple because it’s hard for me to wear–maybe I’m just too pale or too sallow or something, but it just doesn’t do anything for me.
As a fellow pale person, I understand. Most purples make me look like a drowning victim on CSI.
I’ve found, though, that if you mix a bunch of gray with it, it helps, which is what I did up there. I’ve found a few shades of it that I can get away with.
Your sets are so much prettier than mine! I haven’t figured out how to do backgrounds or mastered artfully overlapping things. This makes me want to go play on Polyvore now.
I finally figured out backgrounds last week & it’s made Polyvore SO much more enjoyable: just pick a background image, drag it into your set, then click the Backgrounds tab: you can select “remove,” which will let Polyvore automatically outline the image (and generally makes backgrounds look terrible), or select “keep,” which will make the whole image opaque (and is usually what I do for backgrounds), or “custom,” which allows to to outline and crop stuff–the nice thing about “custom” is that often other Polyvore users have cropped the image before you, so you can just use their work.
If you do play around and make some sets, please share!
Ahhh, that’s really helpful! Now I have to go try it out. :)
