Notes:

This is the kind of outfit you wear when you want to go out with your friends and be crazy.  And you end up at a party where you mix spicy vodka with cranberry juice by accident, but you drink it anyway because hey, it's a party!  And then you drink too much and you end up knocking the hostesses coat rack over.  And then you walk home with your friends and you run across the ice in your ridiculous platform shoes and boom! you fall over.  And you've sprained your ankle and you're crying and you can't move and your friends are really, really annoyed with you.  And you end up passing out on your friend's couch, and in the middle of the night you have to crawl to the bathroom to puke because your ankle is killing you.  And your friend's bathroom floor is disgusting and oh god why are boy's so hairy?  And then you are sick and sick and sick.... but at least you know you looked cute. This is that kind of outfit.

Notes:

As you can see, I'm still having too much fun pairing up tailored, traditional pieces (like the Maitreya blouse), with more edgy ones (spikes, booty shorts, etc.).  Somehow the look came out very 80s... or maybe this hairstyle just reminds me of Debbie Harry (bow!).  Also, I love under eyeshadow that goes ONLY under the eyes and this SOM gift from Cheap Makeup is the only one I've ever found.  I looked around the store for more and didn't find any. :(  Does anyone know if anyone else makes under-eyeshadow that's just colored shadow on the bottom lid?  Meep.  Do tell, if so.

Notes:

Now that it's almost-summer, many people might be thinking about travel and holidays.  I know I am - unfortunately, I may not get to do much travelling this summer.  Instead, I'll have to settle with some SL sight-seeing.  I was dressed for warm weather, as you can see, but when I arrived at the Nostos Deer lighthouse, it was lightly snowing.  I guess summer comes late to this Sim?  Luckily, pixel bods are immune to the cold. ;)  These pants are an older Collabor88 item and, to my knowledge, are no longer sold, which is too bad because I'm kind of a fan of high-waisted pants and am sort of regretting not buying another pair in a different color.  These Alice tank tops from E! make great layering items, though - have I mentioned I love layering?  I believe I have but it bears repeating: I love layers!  Despite the snow, Nostos Deer is a very pretty, peaceful Sim.  Nice place to take a SL holiday...

Notes:

I have an unreasonable penchant for long, long mermaid hair, and now that we have mesh, we can have long mermaid hair that doesn't stab us through our pixel bods.  Good deal!  The hat doesn't sit on the hair/head quite right, but it wasn't resizable, so I decided I'd just live with it - what can I say, this seems like a "hat" kind of outfit.  I also finally got around to pairing up those cute G Field gift shoes with an outfit - only weeks after everyone else, too.  Oh well.  When I bought the shirt at 1965 to complete the outfit, I figured why not take the pictures right here in front of the store?  The communist statue makes me grin - is that Lenin I spy?

Location: The Wastelands |

Notes: 

I consider myself pretty femmy, and despite what our society sometimes says, I think strength and toughness can be feminine.  This Milk Motion skirt, for example, is sheer and flowey, with a strong suggestion of femininity, and yet I keep pairing it up with looks that also suggest toughness--ergo, femininity is tough.  It's women who endure childbirth, after all.  For the record, I think this skirt is awesome and you will probably see it recycled in some upcoming looks.  Your legs will show when you walk in it, but it just makes it look as if the skirt has a slit and really isn't a problem for me.  I also love this Mr. Poet cardigan and can't believe it's free--and in three colors, too!  The addition of Kemet Design's Hellboots make me feel pretty unstoppable, so of course I had to go tromp around the Wastes and face-off with some raiders and radscorpions.  Nah... not really.  It is a RP area, but visitors can walk around, no problem.  Makes me want to warm up the XBox and play Fallout again!

LOCATION: ::breath::

Notes: 

I was wearing this outfit last night at a sim where I tend to socialize a little, and a guy I'd never spoken to before came up to me to offer an interesting fashion critique.  "Look at you, trying to rock that vintage thing," he said.  "Yes," I replied, even though I don't think this look is particularly vintage, nor was I trying.  "Why the granny hair, though?  And the witch makeup?" he asked.  "I like it," was my curt reply.  And so I do.  Really, though, people who are still wearing outfits from SL circa 2007 really shouldn't throw pixel shade, am I right? ;)  Annnnyway, I'm sort of fond of this thing where I mix something really structured and classy, like the Maitreya skirt, with something a little wild and edgy, like the LWL vest.  Both items are really, really well made.  The shading on the Maitreya skirt is so impressive, in particular.  It's always a let down to buy a piece of clothing that basically has no textures and looks like it's been flood-filled in paintshop pro.  You'll never, ever get that with Maitreya, though.  A little note about the location: Breath is a men's shop, and I was lurking around their lucky board when I ventured upstairs and found this little paparazzi prop (see pic 1).  How much fun is that?  I couldn't resist using it for at least one photo!  Thanks, Breath.

Notes:

This is another "odds 'n ends" outfit, in which I dusted off some things in my inventory that I hadn't used yet - specifically, some freebies and hunt items.  I wanted to create an outfit using the cute green shorts I purchased at The Secret Store, but I had the darndest time finding something to go with them.  So I basically just tried on every top in my inventory until I hit on this combination.  I hadn't though of using the mesh minitop as a vest but I think it works well as one.  I have a huge thing for layering, whether its with a vest, a jacket, or a bolero, so anytime I can layer two things together in an unexpected way, I'm happy.  The short hair from Burley gave the outfit a boyish look that I happen to like.  I feel like a spunky girl adventurer from classic literature, so of course I had to set the photoshoot in the Alice-in-Wonderland-gone-goth sim Wretched Hollow.  This is a cool area with some interesting shops.  Definitely worth a look!

Notes:

This is my second post featuring some items from the May C88, and it won't be the last, because I went nuts at that event.  I may only be 36 SL days old, but I quickly zeroed in on all the best SL fashion events, and C88 is definitely at the top of my list.  I love the thematic element of the event, and I love how much time and effort the creators put into releasing really amazing products.  Like this necklace from League?  Amazing.  And I'd never even heard of League before, either, so now I've learned about another great SL creator.  This mesh hair from Vive Nine is really smooth and pretty, too - even if it does make me look a little like Lindsay Lohan.  For the record, this hair also looks good on men!  Yep, I tried it out on my boy avi, and it was very appealing.  ;)

Notes:

So when you're dealing with a face-full of cute, as is the case with these fluffy yellow shorts, all you can do is go in full-throttle.  No use trying to make these sophisticated, it's all just frilly, girly, and fun (minus the subdued, unisex shoes).  The hairstyle is also frilly, girly, and fun.  I don't know why, but it seems like all the hair I like in SL is either rather subdued, like hair you would find in real life, or totally over-the-top ridiculous, like elaborate cake decorations.  Also, I hope no one's sick of looking at these teeth by La Malvada Mujer, because I love them and never take them off.

Notes:

I don't know about everyone else, but as much as I adore picking up freebies and sale items, sometimes I'm left unsure of how to actually transform them into an outfit.  That's what happened with these cargo pants.  I was in S@BBiA when my letter came up on the lucky board.  Yay, excitement!  Except I'm not really a cargo pants type of person.  Despite this, I thought they were really cute and resolved that I would find a way to use them.  With the mocassins and flowy top I think it works well as an artsy, outdoorsy, hippie-ish ensemble.  Off to Tableau for a burro-ride, then!

Notes:

I've been trying to figure out what to do with this dress since I bought it a few weeks ago.  It's a lovely item, but I made the mistake of buying it without trying on a demo (dang impulse shopping!), and it really doesn't fit my avi well - not even my "curvier" shaped one.  Basically, it shows nip. ;)  So what's a girl to do?  Why, layer something under that sucker!  I tried a bajillion tank tops but none of them satisfied me.  It wasn't till I slipped on this older freebie from Willow that I realized I might be on to something.  There's something very anime about the whole look - except, of course, that the skirt is far too long for your typical anime or manga.  Nonetheless, I think it's pretty cute, with a nice, early summer feel.

This outfit has the look of someone who's trying just a smidge to hard to look fancy-pants, don't you think?  I want desperately to look like an exotic, charming lady, and who can blame me when I'm wearing such a well-made, charming skirt from House of Fox?  As soon as I laid eyes on this baby I knew I had to have it.  It fits and flows very well; it almost has the look of a bubble skirt, but in a very subtle way. The feather motif on the tights and the hair ornament are just for fun, and here's hoping that they keep the look from being too stiff and serious.

Notes: 

I put this look together around the skirt (which comes with a lovely off-the-shoulder top, by the way).  Once I added the hair, shoes, tank, and jacket, I thought I would be done, but alas, something was missing...  After adding the socks and gloves, I think this look can best be summed up as "rebel fascist."  I have the look of someone who has to wear an uniform like the "Young Pioneers" of North Korea, but has asserted her own brand of flair through subversive accessorizing.  I can just imagine being pulled aside by some suspicious party member, and defending my case by saying "But Comrade, I only accessorize to honor our Precious Leader!"  Works every time. 

Look 1 & 2: Tokyo Bones

For my first fashion post, I decided to show off some of the new mesh items I've been collecting.  I love mesh so far, but it seems like stuff is being released very quickly and I'm almost hesitant to buy too much of it, knowing that there's always going to be something new and different around the corner.  It's all pretty exciting, to say the least.

I think my overall style and approach to these look posts will be to show some newer items off alongside whatever random bits I have in my inventory that make the whole outfit come together.  I'm not really one for wearing all head-to-toe new stuff at once, because then it seems as if you risk looking like everyone else.  Can't have that, eh?

This photoshoot centers around some mesh shorts and a bone motif.  There's also a dubious Chinatown-like location.  Hence the title: "Tokyo Bones." (Yes, I know Tokyo is not in China.)
