What I Didn't Wear 12-16-07, originally uploaded by Rubianne Ellison.

Hi peeps! Today I wanted to do a sort of mirror image with the picture, but it didn't quite work out...ah, well....practice makes perfect.

Today's ensembles feature clothes from Tres Blah, a teeny weeny, but very cool shop. Tres Blah's items are a bit different, at least to me, because they look painted. Granted, the majority of SL textures are "painted", but there's a tendency to try to make them look..not painted. I know I'm not making much sense- I certainly don't intend to imply Tres Blah stuff looks cartoony; actually, your best bet is to look at the jean texture on the large version of the photo- you'll see what I mean.

Now back to the outfits. On the right I'm wearing Cropped Tintable Knit Shrug, and on the left the Tunic with Braided Belt, both from Tres Blah. On my feet, I'm wearing the Strapped Chucks from Sumire and EnvYou in pink and green. They're a spiffy heeled alternative to the chucks that have been appearing all over the grid. The Juju jeans in grunge out are from Tres Blah, as well as the Juju undershirt that I'm wearing in both photos. For jewelry I'm wearing the Charmed Medallian (yes, thats how she spelled it) necklace and the Diamond Heart and Key bracelet from Miam Miam. Both the necklace and the bracelet are scripted and turn to gold, silver and copper. The necklace is a favorite of mine because it's long enough to wear with my collar, and it has lots of cute little charms like a scottie dog, a horse shoe, and a little pink heart. For hair, I've donned the Impulse in Baccara (that's a color, apparently) from Naughty Designs, the same place my skin and base shape are from. If you haven't been to Naughty Island, you're missing out on seeing some of the best male and female skins, shapes, hair and clothes on the grid. But be forewarned- their skins and shapes are extremely popular. After seeing 3 avatars that looked like me on the same day, I finally modded mine. As much as I loved my old shape (the link isn't working, but if you're interested you can see the old one on my Flickr stream under the Rez Day collection), I like my new, one of a kind one about 3 bazillion times better.

Finally, my silly expressions are from the Expresso HUD. I don't remember exactly where I got it, but I'm pretty sure it was free or near free. You should be able to find it, or products exactly like it on onrez.com, a.k.a another conspiracy to lighten my wallet.
