new romantics

I happened to be listening to a little TS this morning, hence the title of this entry. I thought it was suitable for the look I’ve had on my avatar for the last several days but was struggling for pose inspiration to blog. Like, everything looked wrong and stupid. I ended up using numerous pose balls for these snaps over several photo sessions. Whoever created the invisible-on-sit pose ball that you can put 5000 poses in, should be very rich by now I would hope.

As usual, I find that adding a bow or an over-the-shoulders jacket is usually the right move. Doing both is an automatic yes. Oh and my pale yellow heels, they’re not my favorite for this 80s coded puffed taffeta skirt, but they will have to do.

in my coachella era…

If you’re sick of hearing about my RL struggles and stress, you’re not alone. I have thoroughly bored myself as well. So now, I’m putting ten pixel toes back down in the realm of virtual fashion. My avatar appears to be in her Coachella era, or whatever festival is happening now that Coachella has ended.

It’s true, my avatar lacks the apparent abundance of crochet or macrame that every 20 something seems to be favoring, but this was as close as I was going to get. I like where I ended up.

change your house, change your life

I know I have been scarce. But, I did in fact decide to make the leap. The big one. I am in the process of buying a new home IRL – just around the corner from my current home. There’s a million reasons why but the truth is – like so many things in my life – I have probably stayed too long. Late last year everything changed and then kept on careening off a cliff. What’s the saying?

Change your house, change your life

Judging by several entries referencing this proverb (??) over the years, it’s clearly been on my mind for some time. Even before life went sideways.

As a result, I haven’t had the time to spend in SL and am not sure when I will be back more regularly. It could be tomorrow; it could be later this Summer. In the meantime, I am still in and out – shopping and styling but with my head so full of static (new house closes on May 18), I don’t have a ton of room for DeuxLooks. Hopefully I can lean on styling and blogging to help me de-stress from time to time.

But of course, that requires me finding inventory in Second Life that I love first. And, as always, that’s been as hit or miss as everything else. This skirt and lace cardi are exempt from that comment. And of course, everything else I am wearing is previously worn/blogged and therefore also exempt 😉

So let’s test this old saying out, shall we? Change your my house, change your my life!

home is where…?

I am about to head out IRL to look at the same two houses (technically, townhouses) that I have been mulling over in my mind. I still don’t know if making a big move is the right move. So last night, I opened a fortune cookie from our Chinese takeout. Could it be this simple? Could this be the sign I need? It said…

“Home is where the heart is. Remember that.”

Thanks. That didn’t help at all.

I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, enjoy an outfit anchored around a new lace skirt from COCO, which has nothing to do with anything at all.
