What I Didn't Wear 12-18-07

(Oh CRAPOLA! After saving my photo in jpg and nothing else (despite Robbi telling me a million times not to do that), I realize I dated today's entry all wrong. Fine! I'll do the 17th tomorrow. And then after I do that, I'll do the 19th.! Now back to our regularly scheduled program.)

Hi peeps! Welcome to today's entry! With only a week left until Christmas, I hope that you're all still finding time to stop and enjoy the wonders of the metaverse. For those of you who aren't celebrating Christmas, I hope you enjoy your day off. :)

Today's ensemble was actually inspired by the hair I'm wearing, the Europa from FNKY/CAKE. I've loved this shop since I was a noob, and it still continues to delight me. FNKY/Cake has men's and women's hair, clothes, shoes, and other accesories. Also, for some reason, its usually filled to the rafters with some of the most attractive avatars I've ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on. Unfortunately, I find that many of the hairs there...look odd on my avatar. I fiddled with the Augusta for quite some time, wondering whether it looked cool or like a dead cat on my head. After keeping with the messy theme, and choosing my outfit, I think it's destined to be one of my favorite SL do's.

I'm wearing the the jacket (dress?) from the Couture Collection Set 7 from X3D. X3D is an excellent store with unique textures and styles created by a RL designer. If the ensemble I'm wearing is a little extreme for you, rest easy, X3D has a great selection of all types of apparel. Interesting fact- when Fergie and WIll.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas visited SL, it was Digit Darkes of X3D who made their clothing. This jacket features a pretty floral print, and is in a wrap style that reveals part of one breast. Despite what I've said about baring too much flesh, I really think the neckline on this jacket is sexy without being over the top. The elaborate skirt, which includes the belt, comes in 3 pieces and may require a bit of finagling on your part in order for it to fit correctly. I don't care too much for the leggings included in the set, so I've again used the leggings from the Funko Polo set from Canimal, tinted black. I'm also wearing the seamed stockings from CGBG; these stockings come in many layers to work with all your outfits, and have a classic seam up the back. My gloves are my favorite Harafishnet, and on my wrists I'm wearing another of my favorites, the zebra bangle from Earthtones Boutique. Finally, I'm wearing the Vidalia pump in Noir Croc from Armidi Gisaci. Armidi is a newish store on a stylish sim that looks, for a lack of a better descriptor....real. Armidi sells shoes, clothes, hair and accesories that look like they've somehow been magicked out of the glossy pages of a high fashion magazine. These shoes, sculpties with a peek a boo toe, are brilliantly crafted and have a shape that is sexy as whatnot. Armidi has quickly become one of my favorite spots, and I'm sure to be writing more about it in the future.
