What I Didn't Wear 12-14-07

What I Didn't Wear 12-14-07, originally uploaded by Rubianne Ellison.

Hi Peeps! A whole week has passed, and I'm still blogging. Last night I spoke a bit about modifying clothing, and tonight's ensemble was another adventure in modding.

I went to Pixel Dolls (Please note that you can find, I think, the entire inventory of the store on onrez.com.), and found this FABULOUS Vivi jacket (75L!), which attaches to the chest. Unfortunately, my collar also attaches to my chest, so I attached the jacket to my pelvis. This looked awful when my av moved, so I took off my collar and attached it to my chin....well, blah, blah, blah...to sum it up, I've ended up blogging an outfit that I can't wear, because it looks odd when my av moves. So after attaching and reattaching, changing my animation override, and shrinking my butt, I've no solution but to recommend this really beautiful outfit to those who have less attachment constraints than myself.

Let me tell you what the ensemble is from left to right. In the first photo, I'm wearing the Vivi jacket in Jade. Like all Pixel Doll ensembles, it features beautiful texturing and movement. It also has a prim collar and sleeves with black lace. If you look at the pose where I'm turned to the side, you can see that the hem of it is lower in the back. I paired the jacket with leggings from Canimals- I appropriated them from the Funky Duo Set and tinted them black. What would have been really nice is if the designer had made glitch pants to go with this jacket, which I suspect many of us will wear as a dress.

After all the aforementioned issues with the skirt, I detached it and opted to wear the jacket top with the Isabeux black leather pants from LF Fashions. LF has what are possibly the best pants and jeans in SL, all of which come with pants and underpants layers, as well as prim cuffs. I'm also wearing the Satin Cami in black from 519 deSignz, a store I believe is not well known, but has some really gorgeous stuff, especially some really nice tops.

As far as accessories go, I'm wearing some lovely sculpted boots, the Florence in black from Kittie's Lair. They do come with the much contested heel tap sounds, but they can be turned and off. They come in a range of colors, and the tops can be stretched for those of us with calves that are above average. The Diamond Vine bracelets, which I had on yesterday and forgot to blog, are from Dex's jewelry and are part of a set. Dex has some nice stuff, and I suggest looking at the larger version of the photo to see the nice prim work.

Finally, I'm wearing some hair that is like nothing I ever wear. It's from Gracile, a sweet little store that I stumbled upon. It has two pearl barrettes that secure a messy updo. I love, love, love this hair- look at the large photo and check out those tendrils! Sheer artistry.

Phew.That entry was longer than "Titanic".
