Where it all began...

I can pinpoint the moment that cosmetics became important to me. I was used to my character's shabby armored appearance. I didn't realize there was anything different - that is, until this one day I saw a vision in gold and white. I was astounded. This person's character was beautiful. The character had a white dress on with gold trim (not this dress) and her cloak matched it. It was, at the time, the most beautiful outfit that I'd ever seen. I didn't know anything about cosmetics, but I asked someone how she could possibly look like that. I don't remember who I asked, maybe Darror, but whomever I spoke with gave me a quick run down on how to cosmetically equip something and how to dye something.

This outfit pays homage to that character and that moment.

And a view of the cloak:

This outfit is made from:

Ceremonial Dress

Dolen-Palvais (Dyed Gold)

Billowing Cloak of Kingstead (Dyed Gold)

Huntress

Evonii is a hunter on Vilya, and while crossing paths recently in Bree, I had to snap a screen shot. I do really like her outfit, and well, we usually only cross paths in the 'moors. I've been trying to think of a good hunter/huntress type of outfit lately, and I think she did a great job of accomplishing that and hitting the nail on the head. Her outfit looks feminine but deadly. I think the white dye was a great choice as it adds to the whole holy-assassin look.

This is easy enough to recreate with it being a set - you just have to be able to do Ost Dunhoth to get the barter pieces (I'm not sure how the Lesser Secret of the West which is acquired with Marks/Meds compairs cosmetically). She is wearing the OD burglar Secret of the West armour set along with Ryscdail for the boots - her headpiece is from the Lesser set while all of the rest are from the normal set.

Black Pearl

Look out this outfit I came across on Cosmetic Lotro - I love it!

I just had to share.

Roman Goddess

I've been avoiding this circlet for a very long time. If not worn correctly, it looks really, really ridiculous. I like it, though - it gives off Roman Goddess airs.

All this is:

Elf-Queen Dress (Dyed Grey)

Shoulder Pads of Resolve (Dyed White)

Winged Circlet

The White Swan

I hadn't made a white outfit, and when I acquired the Swan Cloak, I figured it was obviously the perfect thing to make a white outfit with. I like this outfit because it goes with Andadrien's look of not getting dirty. She is wearing all white with a touch of blue and a bit of gold. 

I also think this is good for those who role play. After  I made this outfit, my mind went back to an outfit I had seen on someone else's blog or a cosmetics related thread where someone posted about how they had an in-game wedding. I don't remember where I saw that, but when I look at this outfit, I think about that. You get your "something blue" with the detailing on the dress and with the circlet.

And the back:

This outfit is made up from:

Gossamer Dress (Dyed White)

Swan Cloak

Glorious Tactical Pauldrons of the Galadhrim (Dyed White)

Turquoise Summer Circlet


EDIT:
I ended up switching out the circlet for one of the skirmish camp cosmetic circlets. It's white and gold, and I think it meshes better with the white and gold of the shoulders.
