STYLE: [polyvore | black swan | style set]

it's been a while since i've designed a Polyvore set, so here it is...

for my first style set back, i wanted to do one that was inspired by the movie Black Swan.

since it's not normal wear a crystal tiara everyday i decided that the necklace would represent the tiara and feathers. the strapless lace dress is my everyday interpretation of the actual black swan ballerina costume and i wanted to show the dark edginess of the character by adding black booties with metal heels to give that feel.

i hope to be designing/styling more Polyvore sets on a regular basis, so check back soon.
