yup.. it can be done.. still loving the Newbie Style Challenge..so many wonderful designers that put out really good stuff for little to no L$..In this look, I only paid 10L for the necklace from Mynerva. Otherwise, everything was free from Seraphim HQ and Fab Free Station, and from not Button's skins.
