Comments: this uses a ton of items I hate yet I like it anyway. how odd. everything works very, very well. the hair makes it top heavy, but that's sort of hard to avoid with the lolita style.

Comments: this has a lot going for it, but it's got a couple of flaws. no red on the head, or white to balance the heels and fist on the shirt, and the pants are a little off from the hair. otherwise I like it; it's simple and appealing.

Comments: I like the layout of this but the shades are off. the devil tail is brown against the blacks, and the hair/horns/swimwear/stockings are all totally different greens. normally it wouldn't be that big a deal but considering there's no buffers between them, nor any other color to trick the eye into blending them, it just doesn't work.

Comments: 3 items from a set, and completely different shades. I really like the scarf and gwee together, but you could've worn some orange shoes to balance it out. it lacks color cohesion and direction.

Comments: I like this. good color selection; they work well together. needs a little red at the bottom, not sure how you'd get it though. otherwise it's very pleasant.

Comments: great shape, great colors. I think it would've looked a bit better with shoes to match the hair, but other than that, it's very neat-looking.

Comments: wow, this deserves some sort of creativity medal. it's goofy but I really love the colors. I find myself staring at the hair too much, though, because the sandals just don't balance it right.

Comments: the colors are nice, but they're not spaced out well. the teal of the hair and skirt and the blues of the pixie and wings all run together instead of being distinguishable. the purple of the top and shoes take up a lot of room, so they needed to match better. the head looks bare compared to the rest, too.

Comments: holy crap an outfit using the ballerina dress that I don't hate. ^^; the colors here are perfectly executed and the structure of the whole thing is very appealing,

Comments: all the brownish-gold is in the middle, all the angelic blue at the top, and those tan legwarmers really should've been the light blue ones. there are good things that could've gelled here but they just don't.

Comments: I like the color continuity going on here. really well-done coordination, overall, but I dislike the sun staff halo because it's just too yellow. otherwise it's a perfectly good setup.

Comments: I really like this one! I see black/orange ALL THE TIME and it's almost as overused and unintersting as black and red. but this takes it and then subverts it with that really clean white, and makes it eye-catching but simple. it's stream-lined and well put-together.

Comments: I really like the shirt and sock combo, for some reason, and I like the orange you went with, but the skirt and hair are a little funky together and not in the good way like they should've been. they just clash a bit. needs a yellow bit on the head too, to match the rest.

Comments: why do those pants look so damn good with that skirt? it's weird. ^^ the composition and layering for this are great; the blacks are in all the right places, and the pink and orange play together surprisingly well. frankly, I loves it hard.

Comments: this is wicked! teal and yellow are two colors that are hard to match and use by themselves, much less together. everything used is well thought-out and exudes personality. number-one complaint: pimpin' hat and pimpin' platforms together. it wouldn't be a big deal but they're just big items that take up a lot of space.

Comments: this has some stuff going for it, definitely. I like the dress and jacket together, and the use of the fan to go with the pink of the cat ears and clasp. there's some matching snags though. the black on the legs are real *black* where the jacket is gray-inflected. there needs to be gold somewhere other than the laurels, because that's gold but everything else is yellow and it clashes. I don't really care for the tail and ears, but only because it lacks creativity: the only thing that matches them is each other and I see that all the time.

Comments: interesting color combination. it's monochrome, but it's got a lot of blending going on. I like the red bits a lot, too. the hair is a funky color compared to the rest of the outfit. creative use of color and item choice, though.

Comments: again with the cat items. nothing matches, there's no blue for the wand, and it's just not a good-looking avatar at all.
