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.

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?
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!

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.
It’s been a whirlwind IRL. I haven’t been in my own house for more than 3 days for 3 weeks! Here’s a short list of what’s been happening keeping me away from any fun with virtual fashion.
Computer broke again. Spent stupid amount of money on a new GPU again…
Turns out it wasn’t the GPU. My monitor was fried and almost caught fire
So now I have another new GPU and monitor but no time to play anything
Went to 12 open houses and 2 private showings looking at new homes
Made an offer on the one I loved and haven’t stopped thinking about for weeks
Long work trip to NYC
House offer was rejected (not even countered)
Temporary heartbreak
Went to Maine for vacation (Kennebunkport – a dream!)
Drank stupid amounts of wine
Ate stupid amounts of food
Officially gained 4 pounds overnight
Bought stupid amounts stuff that will never fit in current home (hence desire for new one)
Haven’t even done laundry yet but it’s back to work tomorrow…
The end
As a result, I am very disconnected from what’s been going on with new releases and events in SL. I am sure(ish) something will spark a more regular return soon(tm). And when I do, I hope there will be tons of gorgeousness waiting for me to enjoy!
