Who need’s the sun?

I threw this together on a fine blog/grid-explorer-day. YAY!

First I saw some blog entry about anuenue and got me the top, which is actually a dress, but can be worn as a top alone thanks to the prim-attachments in the pack. It’s available in blue and green as well.
I liked the hippie denims from KUROTSUBAKI for some time and the folklore-touch of the top yelled at me: Get those pants! To be honest, I hate it when the yell at you…
MAU’s & MEJ’s is known (I hope) for their creative not so much next-girl/boy-look. I already loved the afro a lot. The style I am wearing has some asian-style patterns added in form of ribbons/clips.

Blackney & Lacy

This outfit is based on two recommendations from a friend, Peter Stindberg (the one with the sofas ;-)).

One TP to +*susie*+ forced me to buy the lacy skirt and the matching arm warmers/protectors. The top lace-layer is non-flexi, so the skirt stays a bit in shape…the other lacy layers are separate from the chequered ones, so it has a nice flowy look to it. The belt is part of the skirt. The arm thingies have lacy bits as well, so it’s a fab match. For more detailed pixies, please check my flickr.

I’ve been to Vette’s Boutique before, she was taking part in the Easter Egg Hunt as well, but funnily I’ve never bought something. Well, obviously I did by now…The black cardigan and the scarf. The scarf is build from a normal prim-attachment to your spine and one top clothes layer. All three layers are included in the box, so you can decide where to wear your scarf. I’ve chosen the shirt-layer, so it’s under the cardigan. The scarfs come in different colours, the cardigan doesn’t *sniffs*.

I decided to add some pinkish bikini-top to give the overall look at least a pinch of colour.

The hair from Hiccup was a present/freebie, I don’t know if it’s still available as such. The colour of the cap can easily be altered via the edit-menu. Yay!

Nutty in Felt

On Flickr I stumpled across the image of one of those lovely felt dresses from Swallowtail (you’ll find mainly jewellery there). As I’m more on the slow side, I can’t remember which pic it was and of course not from whom. (I did a 20Min search through my blahy comments, but couldn’t find it.)

Those dresses look very simple (duh!) but the same time they’re very well made. The edges around the collar are rather sharp(ish) and the prims fit very well. The skirt is made out of two simple prims, you still should use a skirt-shape (no bum, no saddle) so nothing’s poking out. The shading around the boat neckline gives a bit less boxy look. (I really don’t know why I only have this one dress…*shrugs*)
The pink on the very right has in fact just one pink tone, somehow the things behind it shine through…Sorry for that -.-
For the dress that I’m wearing, you can remove/thin the horizontal white line by moving the skirt-attachment up and down. The pants are mod, so you could (if you want) have tights/leggings in matching colours; the prim-skirt is mod, all other parts are no mod.

When I bought this dress, I was actually planning on a normal outfit…nothing crazy, nutty, stupid this time. Just some sleek, clean 60s look. I bet the socks and shoes (from Corduroy and Periquita (see! You NEED them!)) were fine…but then I went sim-tping-crazy looking for hair. I can’t remember what happened…somehow I ended up with that Scary Spice-Do from Aden! No wonder I look so stiff…you have to be careful there, noone wants a cracked neck (maybe your Ex or your neighbour though…hmm). At that point I gave up and got me that cute primbomb from LittleGirl. Whenever you give up on looking normal, you’ll find funny dolls (tea-/coffee-/greentea-dolls) and other furry friends there. The thing is jumping up and down, moves its eyes and blahs something when you click on it. It took me around 50,000 tries to get it jump up in front of that non-white dot behind me.

Eightiesish

Yay for weird title! Yay for being able to spend precious time in front of that stupid machine! Yay for being lazy as usual when it comes to writing!

I do love Aoharu! I love its vast choices of colours and designs. Even if you’re looking for something more basic, you will find something. So one fine day *blah* amongst other items I got  this dress *points downwards*. There are a few things I dislike…but they’re not significant enough to be not loved by me.
Though I obviously like the design and the colours of that dress, you might see yourself the too visible border between the jacket- and pants-layer. The edge around the neck is quite messy as well, I “had” to do some editing for one of the close-up shots. But apart from that (fuzzy edges seem to be “in”)…
The cute pockets and the skirt are an attachment each…you could wear the pants alone (with our without the pockets attached). Dress comes in three million colours! 😉

I combined the dress with blue and pink items (Oh, really?), blue only for parts of the bangle from Fresh Baked Goods (you can change the colour of the stones and the bangle itself separately! Yay! They come for left and right arm! Yay!) and for the eyes.

The skin from Minajunk gives your avatar a very special look (like the chocolate skin did), which might look funny on some shapes and might be hard to alter if you don’t like the look (hope, someone gets what I mean here).

Please include a fatpack of the Funny Girl Flats from Periquita in your inventory. They look fab and I really want those in RL (fatpack with loads of candy colours of course)!

I am very sorry, the earrings are missing the nobs on them…please refer to the close-ups (must be SL’s fault….*mbls*).

10L$ for this lovely sweater!

This is one of my favourite sweaters. It looks better than on the vendor. As far as I understood, it’s gone after the sale….*tries to resist buying it again*
