well rounded

It’s been a while since I started a post with a pun. In this case, I couldn’t resist. It’s like I’m turning into my mom. God help me.

I used to be positively polkadot averse. I was also absolutely anti-floral. I’ll even admit to having previously gagged at the color green. These are all things that I accept or even adore now (if it’s olive green, anyway) – in the right places. Incidentally, I still mostly stay away from purple and am iffy about using red liberally. But in this case, I saw this belted dress from David Heather – no idea when it was originally released – while I was looking for something else (that I never found) at the cavernous main store. The combination of shimmery cream and puffed sleeves compelled a quick “click to buy” – even though the dresses were mismarked so if you go looking, be careful to check the hover text BEFORE you click the cream color on the rack; that one will only serve you cranberry. Blech!

Other things that set the tone for this style — the simple ballet flats still on from this post (different fatpack color this time), new hair from Doux and an irresistible new face from Glam Affair; shown with 2x blush, just like her real life typist.

on the cusp

We’re on the cusp of the most beautiful autumn, I just know it. I say this despite the fact that as I write this, it’s pouring down rain and has been all day. To be honest, I snoozed away a lot of the day. It was heaven. I love a rainy Sunday once in a while. But for now, let’s pretend.

this is the end

This is the end of summer but the beginning of much better fashion (hopefully). I was inspired by today’s literally glorious weather IRL that then led to a style mashup in SL.

Oh and in case you were wondering, no, I didn’t suddenly get good at editing and condensing screenshots. I asked Richard, my AI assistant, to show me what a collage of the ~12 different – but related – styles I snapped might look like if I were actually good at PS Elements.

Robots really are taking over, aren’t they?

Ahh well. It may be the end of summer, but who doesn’t love early fall fashion best?

dreamy

By my unscientific calculations, I first fell in love with this dreamy dress in 2015. Have I really been “back” to blogging in Second Life for 11+ years? Holy hell. But look, Pixicat has updated and re-released this beautiful dress – one that I was pained to delete when I stopped wearing Maitreya years ago – to include fits for other bodies including mine, Legacy Perky!

AND, it’s available with the FULL HUD for today’s FLF. Come on. What a dream!

For me, I immediately chose the “cloud” texture – a true fairytale option. I am so glad it’s back – and with a Perky fit!
