You have just described most days of my Subeta life. D:
I feel your pain. :P

xD If it's any consolation, you've got a pretty dang spiffy avatar going on. We're almost twinsss.
I have those days too. More often than not. Like yesterday, when I was trying to match my new stencils. Then work with a darker base. And I about diiiied. It was horrid.
D; Hope you have luck.
Another HA block victim! :o AH FEEYUL YER PAYNN. |:B
I just put this HA together a couple days ago, when I finally opened my Vampire Hunter trunk. I wanted to show off my new items, but I didn't want to use all the trunk items, or only the trunk items. So I threw in the wings and the Lacy Black Stockings. My previous HA looks better, imo. :|
It sucks, because I usually go into the wardrobe looking to make a spiffy HA with items I just got, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. There are some items I can't wait to get and use, like the Citrus Charms Lime Wig I just bought the other day, but sometimes I just can't match stuff and make it look good. :C
Oh my god, I know how that goes. ( I mean, look at me :c ) It usually goes away after a little while, but it's so annoying, because you want a new HA so bad...
:) I think it takes the right item to inspire you and it is okay to use an old ha...i do sometimes.
perhaps take an item that you don't use and see what you can come up with it ^.^
Lulz @ Nights idea. xD
Usually when my GA runs out I go straight into a slump, and it takes forever to get out of it. At the moment though I'm sort of setting myself 'theme' hAs to create, basing them on RL 'stereotypes', but instead of creating them right on the spot I layer a few items, and leave it and add some more a couple of hours/a day later, until it builds up over a couple of days, and so far it's worked, my last theme being 'Geek', my current 'Punk'.
Hopefully you'll find your inspiration soon though. ;D
I feel your pain. I can usually work something out but if I can't think of anything it'll have some old layering or something. I usually like finding new layering ways and that usually motivates me. I usually work out a kinda theme so that makes it a bit easier like HoriiZon said.
I know the feeling @ I just can't make decent HAs anymore. Hence the vanishing cream and moon collar xD

Le gasp!
i feel the same way recently
i need to buy more wearables! but ive been spending all my money on books :S
