Hi! What do the ROs look like?

Hi there, Dear Anon!

Since I’ve already covered that here, lemme share a bit about the ROs' fashion instead!

MALLORY

He tries to familiarise himself with the culture of his new land, which includes adapting his fashion. Soo he discards his Imperial fur fashion and opts for light, breathable fabrics suitable for Luxendis's tropical climate, though he still chooses to wear black—an unconventional choice in a kingdom that favors lighter and bright colors.

Mallory wears a long sleeve flowing robe with a deep V neckline that's fashionable among the noblemen of Luxendis. The robe is tailored to fit loosely, cinched at the waist with a leather belt that accentuates his figure and provides a place to hang his beloved dagger. The collar is adorned with silver thread embroidery of a crescent moon—quite a peculiar choice for someone of his station who usually favors gold. His choice of footwear includes sturdy leather boots or thick sandals, a mix of practicality and appropriateness.

There's a royal signet ring on his left ring finger, and a smooth silver wedding ring with a small diamond in his right. A silver circlet completes Mallory's kingly attire, a gift from the Empress that affirms his legitimacy as the Ruler of Court of Crescent.

VIVIAN

She's rarely seen out of her armor, so there are few significant changes in her everyday appearance. Vivian still wears her trusty black steel plate armor that has accompanied her since her knightly ceremony. But for practicality, she has swapped her thick fabric for much lighter one and replaced her fur cloak with linen in a dark blue color. She certainly stands out like an unwelcome eclipse in the sea of bright pastel colors. And can seamlessly blend into shadows.

However, if you do manage to see the Knight outside of her usual armor, you would find her in a loose-fitting, flowing dress—still in dark colors—befitting a noblewoman of her status. In this rare change of attire, she forgoes her boots for flat shoes and adorns herself with her vast collection of bracelets and rings.

Nevertheless, regardless of her outfit, her trusty obsidian sword never strays far from her left hand.

ELLIS

Absolutely one step ahead of the fashionable attire at the moment. He still runs his merchant empire, of course he can't misses out on goods that will become popular, no? Preferably, he must be the one who starts the trends.

With the new reign, Ellis—and his dressmaker friends—predicts that high-born men's fashion will become more subtle. So he adapts, and he makes sure it'll soon become a blast! The color of his sleeveless robe become more subdued and the embroidery become less prominent. But he still uses his signature sexy style with deep, wide neckline that proudly displays his chest.

The simpler style also give him the perfect opportunity to adorn himself with more gold and even more gems, doubling his jewelry from head to his flat sandals, ranging from earrings and rings to necklaces and anklets. More shiny, more better. Ellis needs to be eye catching, after all. And it’s great for boosting gem sales!

SORIN

Despite coming from a noble house renowned for gold mining, she's surprisingly understated in the jewelry department. The only accessory Sorin wears is a gold headpiece of frangipanis, which she has in various shapes and styles. However, that alone is sufficient, as her radiant beauty doesn't require additional embellishments.

Sorin dons a sleeveless drape dress in a bright light color. She favors a sleeveless drape dress with a plunging neckline. The dress fits snugly around her small waist and is adorned with floral embroidery in shiny gold thread. Her feet are typically protected by soft and fluffy embroidered flat shoes.

Her style is quite simpler compared to the usual noble glamour—though it is as simple as a wealthy noblewoman can be. A more subtle display of wealth, as the luxurious quality and the abundance of fabric in her attire is evident to all.

Numbers Game Party Attire ~ The Boys

Thank you, anon for this ask! "OK SO, you’ve said already how number’s girl is dressed but what abt the rest?? I’m super curious of your vision on what type of suits would Crododile/Mihawk/Buggy use or if they wouldn’t even change clothes"

CROSS GUILD PARTY TIME

Thank you for this ask! I've been leaving a lot of visual character details vague, especially for the reader, but if enough people would prefer that I describe the other characters in more visual detail within the story, I'd be happy to do so! I just want all of our imaginations to have free reign in this dangerous little world!

BUT SINCE YOU ASKED...

Here's my vision of what Crocodile, Buggy, Mihawk, and Shanks are wearing to the party:

Sir Crocodile

Crocodile is showing off in a super dark purple/dark plum suit and vest with a black scarf and pocket square. It's got some modest black detailing (nothing as extensive as Mihawk's embroidery shenanigans though 😅). His fur coat is all black today, and he's got some gold jewelry and accessories on his suit to match his hook, like a pocket watch chain, his rings, and a crocodile brooch with chains, of course! I couldn't decide if the crocodile would be all gold or covered in emeralds, so you decide! I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, but here's a few pics (the color would be darker than these with the details listed above):

Buggy the Clown

I hope this isn't too disappointing, but I picture Buggy wearing his red Cross Guild potato sack for this party 😅😅😅 He's also got the wild hair and hat situation going on. This is the epitome of him being the leader of the guild, the crazy, menacing clown that has the two ex-warlords at his beck and call (lol), and it felt right to me to have this image he's made for himself lately to carry into this party. I see it as smaller than the giant stretching he does in the anime. It fits around him closer, you can actually see a bit of his body shape, which is why when he floats just slightly inside it as he did during his speech, it gives him a strange, hypnotic movement/gait. For the party outfit, I envision the colors all a bit darker or muted instead of super bright, with some added details on his clothes. I was thinking some lovely embroidered accents from Mihawk, but I don't think stretchy material can be embroidered, so I left that out of my brain, lol.

Dracule Mihawk

Mihawk's outfit is similar to his daily attire, just a little more extra (how is that possible? 😅). Our swordsman is wearing a jacket, NO SHIRT (lol), Kogatana (his cross pendant blade), and his pants and boots are all black. He actually took his hat off when he came inside, but before he did, it had black feathers instead of white. He's returned to his old wine red/dark burgundy shade instead of the gold he's been sporting lately. His jacket is similar, except there are no plain black sections. It is all ridiculous embroidery, with black, silk lining (the giant collar isn't lined though, gotta have those pretty designs framing his face, lol). The jacket also has some Victorian style embellishments like buttons, etc., as well as the shape of it being more suited to a party than a billowing coat. It's got some extra embroidered details along the edges that actually have hints of other colors (even though he dressed our girl up in all black, lol.) Mihawk may have embroidered a little rabbit or two into the detailing of his jacket... I had a hard time finding what I was looking for, but here's what I've got:

Red Haired Shanks

He's literally wearing the same outfit he always does except that the material is slightly nicer, the pants are black, and the shirt is a super dark blue. He's still wearing sandals. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Everything's wrinkled since he's been keeping all his clothes in a bag on the floor of the middle suite since he showed up here, lol. (His clothes are probably always wrinkly, tbh.) If Mihawk wasn't so preoccupied with his little rabbit, he definitely would have forced Shanks to wear something else, lol. Of course, this fucker manages to look amazing, and far more impressive than most everyone in that swanky room. Shanks could rock a potato sack, and everyone on the Grand Line would still simp for him 😅

I hope you enjoyed me dressing up our sexy villains like little dolls, lol. I would love to hear what your numbers girl's boys are wearing!

The party is moving right along now, so I'll get back to writing Part 26! Think it's time for anyone to die yet? It'd be a shame to get blood all over these pretty clothes... 😈😈

10 Dress Styles Every Woman Should Own

When it comes to building a versatile wardrobe, having a collection of dress styles that work for different occasions is essential. Whether you’re heading to a brunch, an office meeting, or a formal evening event, a few go-to dresses can save you from the “I have nothing to wear” dilemma. Here are ten timeless dress styles that every woman should consider adding to her wardrobe.

1. The Little Black Dress (LBD)

The classic LBD is a must-have in every closet. It’s versatile, flattering, and can be dressed up or down. From cocktail parties to dinner dates, this piece is your go-to for when you want to look effortlessly chic. Choose a cut that flatters your figure and add accessories to create different looks.

2. The Wrap Dress

A wrap dress is universally flattering, hugging curves in all the right places. It’s perfect for both casual and formal occasions, making it one of the most adaptable pieces. Look for prints, colors, or even a classic black wrap dress for something that works year-round.

3. The Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are breezy, comfortable, and ideal for summer days or laid-back occasions. They’re great for beach outings, casual dinners, or just lounging around. Pair it with a denim jacket for cooler evenings, or wear it solo with sandals for a relaxed, feminine look.

4. The Shirt Dress

A shirt dress combines comfort and sophistication. You can wear it to work, style it with a belt for shape, or wear it loose for a more casual look. It’s a versatile dress that can easily transition from day to night.

5. The Bodycon Dress

When you want to make a bold statement, the bodycon dress is your best friend. It’s perfect for a night out or a special event. Bodycon dresses hug your body and enhance your natural shape, so go for a style that makes you feel confident.

7. The Slip Dress

The slip dress is minimal yet stunning, with a delicate design that’s ideal for layering. Wear it on its own for a sleek, night-out look, or layer it with a t-shirt underneath for a casual, trendy style. It’s lightweight and looks great with strappy heels or even sneakers.

8. The A-Line Dress

A-line dresses have a structured fit that flares slightly from the waist, making them suitable for any body shape. This style is ideal for professional settings, date nights, or even family gatherings.

9. The Cocktail Dress

A cocktail dress is essential for parties, evening events, and weddings. Choose one in a style that you love—whether it’s embellished, ruffled, or sleek and minimal. It’s your go-to piece for occasions when you want to feel glamorous.

10. The Sundress

Nothing says summer like a classic sundress. It’s light, flowy, and perfect for warm weather. Choose bright colors or floral prints, and pair it with sandals for an effortless daytime look.

Conclusion

Building a collection of these ten dress styles will ensure you’re prepared for any occasion. With a mix of classic and trendy pieces, you can create endless outfits by mixing and matching accessories, layering, and styling. Remember, confidence is key—wear what makes you feel amazing!

The winners write history, is a phrase I'm sure many are familiar with. and It's something many of us have to remember whenever looking at any recorded history, It's always a massive asterisk that needs to be remembered. That history is recorded by those who win, by those who control and rule, and who want the world to look favourably on them.

That and history books often skip over smaller things deemed less important.

I walked the blood-stained cobbles of the once beautiful city, through the bustling market littered with wooden stalls graced with sweet cotton fabrics and the various items being offered. The tall buildings looming over us all create a shade for us all from the intense sun and merciless heat. I wore my little grey sandals laced up my legs well, my little cream dress, with my wicker basket in hand filled with the items I had already picked up. I continued with my shopping and did my best to stop myself from purchasing things I didn't need.

As I turned the corner in the market I stopped short a moment as I saw the blood red and shimmering gold on the amour of city soldiers at the foot of the statue of Mars, three of them stood one clearly a commander barking orders to the others, the other two stood hassling a young girl in green. She couldn't have been much older than me they were trying to take her to a nearby cart but she was scared and trying to argue with them but that was a useless display as the soldiers were too strong merely picking her up and forcing her onto the cart where I noticed many other girls sat. I didn't want to pry into what was going on, perhaps some kind of round-up over some new law. But I trod carefully as I continued my shopping.

I stopped to check over some pears and oranges when suddenly my basket was forced from my hand and the guards began to take me to the cart.

"What- Where are you taking me!?" I complained trying to get out of their grip but they just pushed me into the cart with the other girls. "What's going on?" I asked one of the girls

"I don't know, they've been gathering up girls all day," she says

Soon enough they led the cart through the city, I did my best not to panic looking at the city, people bustling about their business, the soldiers at every corner.

They took us to the tall gates of the palace, they took us inside the palace and forced us into a line in the high luxury corridor. I didn't know what was going on but anytime someone tried to speak to each other soldiers would force their silence. There were only women in this line and I was at the end of it. I was fearful, unsure of what I had done or why I was here not being helped as the line moved deeper and deeper into the palace's grand halls. Finally, the hall opened up to the grandest room I had ever seen in my life.

The room was huge bigger than the temples with pillars of marble and curtains of glistening gold the walls were lined with guards in red and gold uniforms, the line of girls being marched across the floor. At the head of the room two souls sat, the first in a small wooden chair graced in white robes with red embellishments was the balding, sickly-looking man, I knew who he was from announcements and other such things. The royal advisor, he was the highest of the senate and the man who had to carry out that which the emperor demanded you could tell the role of this weighed heavily on him. And the other soul.

I had rarely seen him, no one had. But he was identifiable all the same. He sat on the throne of Roma and her empire, but he sat on it sideways so his head dangled off the armrest, his legs off the chair so the back of his knee sat on the other armrest, he was barefoot, in clothes worth more then everything I owned tight black trousers and a shirt of deep royal purple with gold lining and rope around cut-outs that went down the top of each sleeve even if the sleeves only reached his elbows, his face shockingly youthful and a head of the golden blonde hair he was well associated with.

Romulus Augustus and several other names that I honestly didn't know. He was a Cesar... apparently. I imagine if Cesar had royal blue blood this boy's blood would be a pale sky blue at best, as his relative to the Cesars was thin some even doubted if he had any at all. But supposedly he was the last living Cesar, he was sworn in as emperor when he was only a boy and his parents were killed not long after.

I suppose in another world the young emperor may not have lasted long perhaps overthrown by another or raised merely as a political show with the senate in true control. But that was not the world we live in. He was sworn in as a child, raised in secrecy and spoiled beyond measure. And because of that or perhaps just because, he was cruel. He was known in the city for Being mercilessly cruel, oftentimes your life would hang in the Balance of his childish whim, his name was known and feared across the empire for his downright evil tactics. And even guards and senate members knew better than to question him.

I had not been this close to him since his coronation when I saw him in the streets, but I was so scared my blood ran cold.

He had a small knife in his hand and was using it to file the nails on his other hand.

They brought a girl from the line directly In Front of the throne

"Your grace" the advisor began

"No" he snapped not even looking up

So they threw that girl to the side and brought the next one

"No" he snapped again not looking up from his nails

This went on until I was pulled In Front of him as scared as I was confused, and at that moment the advisor snapped

"Your grace!" He began "Forgive me, but we have been at this all day. Will you please at least look at them"

He pouted stuck his knife into the throne and turned to sit normally looking me up and down "No. Next"

"There is no next we've run through every girl in the city. You're having this one"

"You don't get to tell me what I am or am not doing!"

"Just look at her. Please"

He rolled his eyes getting up from the throne he came closer to me and paced around me like a hungry vulture,

"I don't like her"

"Perhaps you shouldn't have done that to your last one"

He turned sharply "She got what she deserved"

"Be that as it may"

"she's too chubby."

"she can be thinned"

"she smells funny"

"We can wash her"

"I don't like her hair"

"We can cut her hair"

"fine" he sighed returning to his throne "Show me her teeth" He demanded and the guard beside me grabbed my jaw hard forcing me to open my mouth and slow my teeth he rolled his eyes and sighed "Fine," He sighed "Lift her dress" He demanded and the guard let my jaw go grabbing the hem of my dress lifting it up to expose my pussy which made me scream covering myself up "Better then I expected" He smirked and the guard let me dress go "Alright. she'll do. Take her to the baths"

Immediately the guard grabbed my arms and forced me along with him no matter how much I protested

"What's going on? where are you taking me!"

"Quiet. You belong to the Emporer now" the guard told me 

They threw me into a hot steamy stone room with tall arched ceilings painted with gold, a few luxurious baths and waterfalls, along with areas to relax and a sauna in the corner, it even had a deck out to a garden with another hot spring pool with a waterfall of stone. They locked me here so I just took a seat and tried to come to terms with all that had happened.

Until the doors opened and the Emporer arrived and my blood again ran cold.

"Name?" he glared as he slammed the door shut

"I'm sorry"

"Okay," he sighed rolling his head back a little "First lesson. Do not make me repeat myself. Name. what is it?"

"Y/n y/l/n"

"Y/n. Fine. Take your clothes off and have a bath" He demanded as he slipped off his clothes leaving him utterly naked, his body as thin as I imagined but his erection half hard, I quickly looked away, I didn't want to argue and carefully slipped off my clothes and climbed into the water before he could see me

"What's going to happen to me?"

He sighed rubbing his eyes his arm leaned on the bath his body surrounded by the water"I will explain this, Once and only once." He says "Yes?"

"Yes Your Grace"

"Good girl, Now. Here's the deal. I get bored. This place is boring, the work is boring, it's just fucking boring so I need something to entertain myself or I'll end up killing somebody. So I need something to keep me entertained, And the advisors are constantly shitting themselves about bastards, terrified over another succession fight. So our way of dealing with this is they let me keep... a girl. For my amusement. You get room, food, and medical if needed."

"What would I have to do?"

"You do what I tell you. You belong to me body and soul. You do as I ask Without question. Without argument. silently if possible. You do as I say no matter what I say."

"And If I don't?" I asked

He smirked "Then I'll make you wish you were dead." He said "We clear?"

"Yes Your Grace" I nodded in fear

"Good girl," he smirked "Get out of the bath."

I didn't want to argue nervously getting up and climbing out of the bath using my hands to cover my body

"Hands," he demanded with a smirk

I gulped but took my hands away

"Humm. Not as nice as my last one. But... fantastic tits." He smirked "Jump up and down"

I sighed but did as he asked making him chuckle

"Good, here now" he smirked suggestively running his hand through the water so I moved climbing in and moving close to him, he smirked and grabbed my waist pulling me into his lap "I think you and I are going to have fun" he smirked

"I hope so your grace"

"ah ah" he warned "This mouth. Is for one thing and one thing only. My cock. if my cock isn't in your mouth it needs to be shut. I don't want your opinion. your conversation. or your goddamn voice. That mouth is for my cock and my seed nothing else. Understand"

"Ye-" I began but stopped short and simply nodded

"Good girl." he smirked his fingers dug into my skin as he turned and threw me against the edge of the bath I did my best not to complain as the edge hurt my stomach he grabbed my ass and dug his nails in tightly as he spread my cheeks as far as possible "Legs open" he demanded 

I bit my tongue and did as he asked me to, and he quickly forced himself inside me, I quickly put a hand over my mouth to prevent making any noise as he buried himself deep inside me almost enough to make me scream, he held me tight and moved fast and hard with very little concern for me even if it felt unbelievably amazing the sound of our skin connecting and water splashing I did my best not to squeal from the pleasure until he got slower and sloppier pulling himself out and forcing me to turn back to him my body sinking back into the water and he took his cock in his hand for a few strokes before he came sending his seed across my body immediately I grimaced at the substance now all over my body but he only smirked more seeming amused by my disgust

"Lick it."

"No-" I began

"Excuse me?"

"No, that's revolting!" 

"You belong to me. and if I say you do something you do it." 

"Yes your Grace" I sighed

"Now lick it off" He demanded 

I hated it but did as he asked licking and swallowing the horrible stuff as quickly as I could which only amused him more

"all of it" He demanded but I was perfectly clean I looked rather confused and he just glanced down at himself and the amount that remained on his shaft I did my best not to hurl but did as he asked licking it off and swallowing quickly even if I at one point gaged so hard my eyes welled with tears which made him chuckle "I own you girl. better get used to it" He smirked heading off to another part of the baths "Now clean yourself get that peasant stench off you" 

"Yes your grace" I sighed

drowning - naruto x oc part 9

(i do not own any naruto characters, only the original characters)

“kyō niwa, akimitsu hyuga, and shisori nara,” i muttered to myself, reading from the handwritten scroll tsunade had sent for me. i had been reviewing my clan scrolls and preparing for the mission before she had sent her scroll by bird. part of me was relieved it was no one i knew, the idea of someone burdening the weight i’m meant to carry shrouded my mind with dishonor. the other part was dismayed with the disadvantage of not knowing this team in which this mission relied so heavily on.

i shook my head free of thoughts before forcing myself to focus on the situation at hand. sen needed me more than ever, and i knew the success of this mission determined her fate. i’ll be damned before i let anything or anyone screw it up. i furrowed my eyebrows and pulled up my hair with a ribbon before dumping the scroll onto my bedside table.

my outfit consisted of a dark brown turtleneck romper with cutaway shoulders, layered under a cream colored robe that had a corset around my waist, which flowed down to my legs. i layered a beige cape with a hood over myself before i grabbed my katana from my room and said a quick prayer, praying for sen’s safety. i made sure my pouch was filled with emergency supplies and weapons before grabbing a few bento boxes i packed and stuffing them in my bag along with bamboo water chutes.

earlier this morning i had made sure to water the garden and weed it before putting in place the irrigation system i had rigged for when i had to go on missions. i slipped on my sandals and rushed to leave, but before i left the threshold of the house, i took a minute to look around, memorizing each and every detail that embellished itself into my eyesight. i felt my stomach flip as i closed my eyes, once again, praying that i would be able to save her. i took a deep breath and held my head high before exiting my house.

the scroll had inscribed that we would meet at the gates of the village, to which i leaped across rooftops in hope i would reach it sooner. i crossed my fingers in hopes that we would collectively be on time and leave in a timely manner, as my patience ran thin due to the circumstances. upon the gate coming into my view, i slowed my pace and allowed myself to hop down from the roof of a building and walk the rest of the way.

though the sun shone bright and lively, a consistent breeze had made its way to the land, much to everyone’s relief. i closed my eyes as i walked with balance, wanting to memories the sound of the village. the sound of birds singing and trees rustling in the breeze, the sound of the lively town square that echoed through the streets, it was something i’ve heard my whole life. i hoped it comforted sen, even if she couldn’t hear it. i opened my eyes and noticed there was another shinobi waiting patiently at the gate a distance away.

upon further examination, i observed that it was a young man with wide lavender eyes and shaggy brown hair. he wore a fitted black shirt with black cargos, along with fingerless gloves, all in which were layered under a beige cape identical to mine. his eyes widened upon seeing me arrive and had bowed when i drew near.

“lady kyō,” he spoke formally after he bowed. “it’s an honor to meet you,” he said with a hint of enthusiasm, which brought a warped sense of reassurance to course through me.

“akimitsu, i presume? the honor is all mine, as i’ve never met a hyuga before,” i said before offering him a small smile. his eyes widened again as he offered me a smile back, his eyes crinkling as he did so.

“pardon me lady kyō, but it seems as if shisori is running late,” he said with a tone of dismay present in his voice. i pursed my lips before nodding in acknowledgment.

“i do not idle in hopes of relying on someone whom i’ve never met, the choice is hers as to if she cares to join us. if she chooses not to, tsunade sama can deal with her,” i said with confidence, though i knew she played an important role in strategizing throughout our journey.

“i see,” he muttered behind me. “if i may, i’ve been on a team with her for years and though she makes poor impressions, she really is an invaluable team member,” he said with his chest. i sighed before looking past the gate, and at the vast distance beyond my eyesight we have to travel.

“we shall see about that. what do you say we get a head-start?” i asked with a small smirk, watching the way he fidgeted and though it over before his eyes went slightly downcast. as i took a step to start walking forward, i heard an array of rushed footsteps heading toward our direction. i instinctively gripped my katana before turning around and locking eyes with a young woman who seemed to be out of breath. it wasn’t until she took a few steps forward that i could make out her face.

she had sharp phoenix eyes, just as shikamaru possessed, along with an unruly entanglement of onyx hair situated atop her head. she wore black high waisted shorts with a black halter top, paired with a set of removable kimono sleeves. she held her identical robe in her hands, gripping it as beads of sweat rolled down her face, prompting her to hunch over her knees and try her best to regain her breath.

“you’re late,” i said, unhanding my katana and wiping my hands off on my robe.

“yeah, i see that,” she said out of breath before putting her hand up to me, as if to silence me. she feigned a pained expression before returning to heaving over her knees, completely out of breath. i stood in silence, watching the scene before me for a moment until she finally stoop upright.

“sorry about that, i’m-“

“shisori nara, of the nara clan,” i said, cutting her off. her face fell slightly before i continued. “i am kyō niwa, and you will be under my lead for this mission. akimitsu has informed me of your invaluable skill set, though this is quite possibly the poorest first impression you could have made,” i said, watching her clench her fist and hold back on rebutting.

“i will not extend to the both of you the importance of this mission, but do know that citizens lives depend on it. it is my job to ensure we complete it in a timely and efficient manner, and i will achieve that by any means necessary,” i said, looking between the two of them. akimitsu listened intently while shisori had crossed her arms and made an obvious bored expression.

“we will be heading to the island of dakujan, which is located far passed the land of fire. it will be a tumultuous journey, in which our strength will be tested. but it is within my duty to ensure we all work, as a team, to our fullest potential. akimitsu,” i said before turning to look at him, to which he stood up just a little straighter.

“as you posses the byakugan, you will be our lookout. you were assigned to this mission upon the evaluation of your skills of chakra reading and taijutsu wielding. you will take the lead in formation, as you are the only one here that posses the skill required to read chakra.” he nodded in acknowledgment towards me as i finished. i turned to look at shisori before i continued.

“shisori,” i addressed her, watching her eyes avert to the ground. “i believe we got off on the wrong foot, and for that, i apologize. this is an exceedingly important mission, and i need to believe that you’re willing to do anything to accomplish it,” i said as she looked up at me again.

“you will trail behind akimitsu, as your shadow possession jutsu can entrap any enemies that he senses present. i already have the formation and the general overview of the mission intact, but we will rely on you for strategy when the time comes. your opinions are necessary, as we will be a team from here on out,” i said, watching as she now rest her hands on her hips, a look of confidence taking over her features.

“as you already know, i am kyō, the leader of this mission. i will be taking the rear, as my jutsu wields the most damage and deals the most range. though i cannot read chakra, my senses are inclined to sense when someone is nearby. that way, our formation is complete with two sensory types watching the front and the rear. each of you play a vital role in this missions success, to which i hope you both live up to your reputations,” i finished as they both seemed to have found a new sense of confidence. i looked at each of them before concluding that we were ready.

“now then, shall we get going?”

How to Style Nour Fathallah's Off-Shoulder Gowns for Every Occasion

In the realm of fashion, few styles evoke the timeless allure and sophistication quite like off-shoulder gowns.

The Versatility of Nour Fathallah's Off-Shoulder Gowns

Daytime Elegance

For daytime events, opt for a side cut dress variant of Nour Fathallah's off-shoulder gowns. The subtle reveal adds a touch of allure without being too overpowering. Choose lighter colors like pastels or floral patterns for a refreshing daytime look. A knee-length off-shoulder dress paired with nude heels and minimal accessories strikes the perfect balance between casual and chic.

Evening Glamour

When the sun sets, it's time to elevate your style. Choose a cocktail gown from Nour Fathallah's collection for an evening affair. The flowing silhouette and intricate detailing on these gowns make them ideal for a sophisticated night out. Complement your look with statement earrings and a sleek clutch. Go for bold colors or classic black to make a lasting impression.

Red Carpet Ready

When it comes to the red carpet, there's no such thing as too much glamour.

Pairing Accessories with Nour Fathallah's Off-Shoulder Gowns

Jewelry Choices

Accessorizing is the key to elevating your off-shoulder gown game. For daytime events, keep it simple with delicate bracelets and stud earrings. In the evening, don't shy away from statement necklaces and bold cocktail rings. When donning a ball gown, opt for intricate chandelier earrings to frame your face elegantly.

Footwear Selection

Your outfit can be made or broken by the right shoes. For a daytime event, choose comfortable yet stylish footwear like strappy sandals or low heels. Evening affairs call for more elevated choices, such as stiletto heels or embellished pumps. When wearing a ball gown, ensure your shoes peek out just enough to make a statement.

Clutch and Handbag Combinations

Selecting the right clutch or handbag is crucial to complete your ensemble. A sleek clutch with subtle embellishments works wonders for evening events. For daytime gatherings, a chic handbag in a complementary color adds a touch of sophistication. When opting for a ball gown, a small clutch with intricate detailing ensures you carry your essentials in style.

Nailing the Look: Hair and Makeup Tips

Hairstyles that Complement Off-Shoulder Styles

The neckline of off-shoulder gowns provides the perfect canvas for showcasing your hairstyle. Opt for chic updos like a messy bun or a sleek chignon for an evening event. For a daytime look, loose waves or a half-up, half-down hairstyle adds a touch of romance. Experiment with hairstyles that highlight your shoulders and neck, enhancing the overall elegance.

Makeup Tips for a Polished Finish

A flawless makeup application is a finishing touch to your Nour Fathallah off-shoulder gown ensemble. For daytime events, keep it fresh with a light foundation, neutral eyeshadows, and a pop of color on the lips. As the day turns into night, intensify your makeup with smoky eyes or bold lips. When wearing a ball gown, don't be afraid to go for a more dramatic and glamorous makeup look to match the opulence of the gown.

Conclusion

In the world of fashion, styling Nour Fathallah's off-shoulder gowns is an art form. Whether you're opting for a side-cut dress, a cocktail gown, or a majestic ball gown, understanding the versatility of these designs allows you to express your unique style on every occasion.
