What I Didn't Wear 12-20-07

What I Didn't Wear 12-20-07, originally uploaded by Rubianne Ellison.

Hi Peeps! Welcome to today's entry! I wanted to make today's entry holidayish, as there are only 5 days until Christmas, but I think I've ended up with something that looks more wintery- ah well.

Ensemble 1
Today I'm pleased to talk about my all time favorite SL outfit, the outfit I'd prolly wear every other day if I didn't like shopping so much. The Let It Snow ensemble from Tres Beau, pictured on the left, features a clingy top with a flattering cut out neck line and sleek wintry pants. If you're into that sort of thing, it also comes with a furry jacket, collar, and cuffs, but I always eschew that stuff and instead wear the Iced Diamond collar and cuffs from Simply Spoiled (I wear the fancy schmancy collar over my actual collar). I think I've already expressed that I think an overabundance of bling is tacky, and this Iced set is glimmery, but somehow doesn't' seem to contain a blinding bling script. On my feet I'm wearing the Tundra boots in Snow from Le Cadre. For hair, I'm wearing the Roman Bun II and Luna- Aeris bangs from Cay's Skyshop (Roger told me this hair is his favorite of all the ones I wear). This cold weather outfit is simple, elegant, glamorous and sexy, and I'm truly surprised I haven't seen anyone else wearing it (except, of course, the people I've lent it to). As a note, Tres Beau has a stunning, largish collection of formal wear, especially wedding gowns, that is really worth checking out.

On the right, I'm wearing the Little Mary dress in Snow from Armidi. Take a look at the large size of this photo, and check out the pintucks on the bodice, and the scallops on the hem. Like all the other Armidi pieces I've seen, this dress looks real. It comes in a variety of colors, and looks nifty as whatnot if you twirl in it. The T- Strap shoes in red are from FNKY/Cake. The last time I went there, the store had been remodeled, and I couldn't find these lovely photorealistic shoes anywhere. Hopefully , the designer will bring them back soon- I haven't gotten the black ones yet...
