I am slowly working through my Hair Fair haul and in an incredibly predictable purchase, next up is a big bun. I have said many times before that (along with bows and headbands), I can rarely resist a bun in Second Life. Even a bun as vertical as this. I also loved the hairbase style. iykyk.

A couple years ago, I picked up the ballet bun from Avenge, and here we are again. I wish my hair would behave to do this IRL. How much easier would a hot day be?

My whole look features a creator I have a love/hate relationship with. LOVE the classic staples (and always a Perky sizing option, ily) released regularly from amias. HATE that purchases don’t contain ad textures so I can see what the heck it is when I go back to wear it again – sometimes years later. It’s one of the few things that truly frustrates me with SL shopping. I will admit that in the past year, I went through and deleted entire folders of creators with no ad textures, because I didn’t know what anything was while searching for a perfect pairing! Irrational? Meh. Including an ad in the pack is such a simple thing to do and makes an ENORMOUS quality of life difference for those of us avatars who like to mix new with older inventory regularly. Even adding a description to the folder name in my inventory won’t help me to quickly see if the item might be suitable for whatever style I’m working on…with an ad texture, it just pops up as I mouse over. Easy.

So sadly, I may have to delete this beautiful butter yellow blouse and tailored trousers (except you can’t change metals on the belt buckle) at some point. But for now, let’s enjoy how well my new floral pack of heels from [Gos] go with the whole look. The prolific shoe creator ALWAYS includes a texture, so I always re-wear my [Gos] inventory because I always know what each item is just by browsing. And that means, I always shop that brand. Totally predictable.
