Maya and Ari helped Chloe find new clothes for the upcoming summer season, and she was pleased with her new look. Afterward, she naturally returned the favor and supported the other two in finding a new look for them, as well.
"Which of you two has the fancier idea again?" After the fox-girl had gotten her clothes, she faced Maya and Ari to find out on who they should focus on next. “Mine was pretty easy to get, so maybe we should go with something medium complex now?”
“I think Ari and I have the same general idea with a mid-thigh high waist skirt, but I want to go a little extra with the top. What about you?” She then glanced at the jaguar.
“I want to keep it simple.” Ari smiled at her. “I might even try and go for something in between a high waist skirt and the one Chloe has. Obviously, it’s going to be a bit longer, though.” She took a quick glance at the fox before continuing. “I’d like a regular vest with no sleeves, but I’m still unsure about the color combinations I want to go for.”
“Okay!” The fox clapped her hands. “It still sounds like it shouldn’t be too hard, so let’s find something for you first before we concentrate on Maya.”
“I agree.” The cat-girl in question nodded before facing Ari. “You say that you don’t have a color combi thought of yet, but do you have a main color in mind already?”
“If it’s okay, I’d like to give dark red a try.”
“Why wouldn’t it be okay?” The cat-girl looked confused?”
“Well, red is usually your color. It has been last year, and so it is currently.” Ari looked at Maya’s red skirt while thinking about the red and white outfit she used to wear when they met.
“If only one of us could wear a certain color, we would probably end up having a war over black and white, you know?”
“True.” Chloe agreed with Maya. “It would be a little weird to wear the exact same type of outfit, but colors are fair game, in my opinion."
“Exactly.”
“Okay!” The jaguar started smiling. “I’ll be trying out something red, then!” Seemingly in a great mood, she explored the boutique for a little while before eventually stopping at a mannequin that caught her interest. “This is exactly what I was looking for!” She pointed at the display that was wearing a white sleeveless vest with a red bowtie and a frilled button panel that was combined with a dark red medium-high waist skirt with a slight golden accent trim on its hem together with a white inner lining.
“It’s so pretty!” The fox-girl also liked it.
“Leave it to the classy girl to instantly find the perfect classy clothes for herself.” Maya gave her a hearty thumbs up. “This is absolutely made for you. It gets extra points from me for having fully exposed arms and partial shoulders, as well~.”
“That’s indeed a welcome bonus.” Chloe felt the same about it.
“You two sure know how to flatter a girl.” Ari just rolled her eyes.
“Ehehe.”
“Regardless of that, I still want to try it.” She wasn’t too bothered by the two perverts. “Although, I’ll also give the regular black and white style ago, as well as maybe trying out full white.” She pointed at the other skirt colors available on the shelf next to the display.
“Oh, look! They also have multiple color options for the bowties!” The fox-girl pointed at another nearby shelf. “I think it would look nice to match them with the color of the skirt you’re going for. There's also a yellowish-golden one that matches the accents in your hair. That could work really well, too.”
“That should look nice!” The jaguar liked the suggestion. Afterward, she grabbed a vest in her size, as well as a selection of skirts and bowties in different colors, before disappearing into the changing room Chloe had used earlier.
“Perfection!” After Ari changed into the new outfit, Maya and Chloe simply started clapping.
“A bit overdramatic, aren’t we?” Even so, the jaguar still was smiling.
“Absolutely not!” Chloe shook her head. “It fits you so well!”
“You just can’t go wrong with a black, white, and red combination.” Maya was quite familiar with this set of colors, after all. “The added gold bits from your hair and the accents on the clothes look great, too.”
“Thank you.” She became a little bashful. “I guess I should get it, then.”
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
“You have to get it!” The duo corrected her.
“Okay~.” With an even bigger smile on her lips, Ari returned to the changing room to try on the other two skirts in white and black, as well as the differently colored bowties. In the end, she decided to get everything because Maya and Chloe just kept showering her with compliments, saying how she looked stunning in absolutely everything she tried on. Chloe even got her an additional orange bowtie because it was the same color as Anna’s hair.

“Time for the main attraction!” After Ari had changed back into her regular clothes and collected all the pieces she wanted, Chloe energetically addressed the cat-girl.
“How and why am I the main attraction?” Maya wasn’t sure how to feel about that.
“Well, you said that you had the fanciest outfit choice, so it makes sense to me.” The jaguar agreed with the fox.
“I never said mine was the fanciest!” She didn’t like the sound of that. “I just wanted to try something slightly more complex.”
“I’d say that’s pretty much the same at the end of the day.”
“Yep.” It had no effect on Ari and Chloe. “We look forward to seeing you go all out.”
“Fine, I’ll make it extra fancy.” She gave up. “While Ari was changing and collecting all her new clothes, I looked around a little, and I found some combinations that were pretty close to what I had in mind. In fact, it looks even better than I had hoped. I’m still fairly undecided on the color combinations, though.”
“Show us!” The fox was becoming more excited again.
“Sure~.” Maya took them to a mannequin in the corner of the boutique. “I adore this skirt.” She pointed at the baby blue waist-high pleated skirt. It ended up right under the mannequin’s chest, where it was held up with a black belt that had a few golden accents. While the skirt itself was a very light blue, it had many very thin vertical lines going from top to bottom. To round it up, the skirt had a white inner lining that frilled up at the hem. “That being said, baby blue, while it is a lovely color, it is not my color.”
“You are so lucky I already found my new look!” Ari sounded a little envious. “That is SUCH a lovely skirt!”
“It is super cute!” Chloe also was a fan. “I really like the baby blue, too. Though, I can see why it isn’t yours. Combined with pure white, it's kinda pale, while pink is a nice accent in my case."
“Yep, pink works great, but as I want a white top to go with the skirt, it would be too much with my hair on top.” The cat-girl nodded. “Also, I’m happy that you got envious.” She then smiled at Ari. “That means the skirt’s approved by an expert~.”
“I just like fashion.” The jaguar didn’t see herself as an expert. “Anyway, it’s a great choice. Although, it also depends on what top you want to combine it with.”
“This one.” Maya pointed at yet another mannequin to her right. It was wearing a white top with short puffy sleeves and multiple black accent lines. The top was a mix of two fabrics, as well. The sleeves and everything below the bust line were regular cotton, while the upper chest, collarbone, and shoulder area were made from lace and were slightly see-through, as well. However, most of the collarbone area, as well as a small amount of cleavage, was bare to add a little extra spice and ventilation. On top of that, it came with a small collar only attached to the back combined with a thin black bowtie.
“And you call me the expert.” Ari stared at her. “This outfit choice is immaculate! Although, I’m slightly less jealous now. The top is perfect, and I love it, but my breasts are a little too small to do its form justice. It’s the style to perfectly accentuate a big chest.”
“Wow, together with the skirt, it will almost give off summer dress vibes!” Chloe lightly clapped her hands. “You’ll look adorable! Even more than usual!”
“Ehehe~.” The cat-girl liked that. “Oh, it comes with different accent colors, too!” She took a better look at the shelf below the display and saw that it not only came with black accents, but red and blue ones were available, too. “Alright, let me get a black and a red version, and then I’ll grab a white, black, and red skirt and see how it goes~.” Saying so, she did just that, collected the clothes she wanted to try on and disappeared into the changing room.
“So pretty!” Once Maya presented herself, the two immediately started praising her. She went ahead and tried the black skirt with the fine white vertical stripes first, and the duo seemed to like it a lot.
“The black is so classy!" Ari was a big fan. "It fits you so well! Your hair is such a great match with it.”
“True!” Chloe had nothing else to add.
“I think so, too!” The cat-girl had a satisfied expression when she looked at herself in the mirror. "Let me try the white one next." Afterward, she closed the curtain of the changing room again.
“I love that!” Seeing the new look, the fox-girl got excited first. “All-white can get overwhelming fast, but the red accents and all those fine black lines on the skirt make it work perfectly!”
“What she said.” The jaguar just nodded.
“I’m so happy I found those clothes!” Maya’s expression got even brighter. “Alright, time for the red versions!” As it was previously her color, she was most excited about this.
“Wow!” Looking at the cat-girl in the white top with red accents, as well as the red skirt with its fine white lines, the duo was left speechless.
“Well, that’s a reaction.”
“Seriously, red is your color!” Chloe and Ari synced up. “It’s perfect.”
“You love to hear it~.” Maya enjoyed the praise and looked at herself in the mirror once more. “It really is pretty!” She also was happy with her new look. “The red one might be my favorite, too, but the black and white ones are so great, as well! It’s so hard to decide! I guess I’ll be switching around a lot in the future~.”
“Great plan!”
“Hehe.” In the end, Maya also decided to get everything, two different tops with red and black accents, as well as three different skirts in red, black, and white. On top of that, she also got a red and black bowtie, as well as a light yellow/blonde one that Chloe made her buy as it matched Sophia’s hair.
Afterward, the girls went to pay for their clothes and finally exited the boutique. Before reuniting with the others, they had to make yet another stop, though. Ari still had to buy her laced sandals, which she wanted to get in a different store. While they were at it, Maya couldn't help but get a new pair of boots for herself, as well.
Satisfied with their haul, the girls treated themselves to something sweet in a café before heading back to the mansion to meet up with Anna and the sisters.
