nor’easter

If you’re anywhere near the Northeast US then you’ve likely been stuck inside for 3+ days (with at least one more to go) like me. Unending rain for this many days is absolutely soul crushing. Joy sucking. Darkness descends.

I saw this skirt hit my feed over the weekend, and it was the only thing that inspired me to style. To cheer myself up, I probably should be showing it in the bright yellow or turquoise, but earth tones won the day – or lost the day, depending on your depression level. I do love it tho, and picked up the fatpack without a second thought.

What does it say that the rarity of skirts covering both butt cheeks propels me to TP in Second Life these days?

This skirt is delightful, seams and all.

Now, before anyone gets surly about these ancient necklaces – almost certainly unavailable now – I keep and use things for literal decades. No, really; this is not hyperbole. You see, yesterday this avatar turned 20, apparently. What in the actual…?

The better thing to get cross about is, why no one makes jewelry like this anymore…

fall back

Idk how I got here. I have been falling back into old habits and re-reading old entries in my blog. I think I’m back somewhere in 2024, working my way even further. My favorite styles have always been those unplanned. I suspect this one will turn into one of this year’s favorites too.

testing out closed eyelids from The Skinnery

I think my avatar will be wearing this a while.

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.
