Look of the Day, 2009-12-08

Today I wanted something a little more... muted. Bright colors are OK but I tend to fall back on more subdued shades. I've also had my fill of black lately and took the opportunity to slip on another pair of SLink's awesome Sydney Stilettos.

The past couple weeks I've been on the lookout for a good prim skirt that would go well with multiple outfits. This high-waisted mini from BabyDoll fits the bill, mostly. It's a bit of a fixer-upper, but that's true of most prim skirts on my wider-than-average shape. It comes in black, white, and shades of gray, and the price is right at L$50 apiece.

Finally, I put some glasses back on! It's been a while and these half-frames from Crie Style worked nicely without distracting too much. I also added an older set of jewelry from Shiny Things that I haven't worn in a long time.

I can't claim much inspiration for this look; I just wanted something sexy and a bit wild compared to what I normally wear. It did, however, give me the opportunity to show off SLink's awesome new stilettos and some really fun hair from Little Heaven!

The other day I picked up Amacci's new lingerie set in purple. Absolutely gorgeous. :) I was struggling for something to wear with it when I happened upon an old treasure: one of Dazzle's (aka Last Call) old outfits. It came in a bunch of colors, and one of them just happened to be very close to the same shade as the lingerie!

Sorry I've been away so long! I got sucked into playing some new games. Oops. *whistles innocently*

Anyway! After skimming about 4,000 fashion blog posts (I just look at the pictures!) this dress from Pacadi Jasha caught my eye. Yes, that's a system skirt! I've never hated system skirts — well, not exactly. Prim skirts tend to make me twitch because they never look quite right on my shape. System skirts don't look that great, either, but at least I know they'll cover me properly.

I'm really, really liking Free Speerit's Fiona line of skins. Without a doubt they're among my favorites. The eyebrows really wow me — they're just the right shape. The skintone is just a teeny bit red/orange for my taste, but I don't mind. The skin is too good overall to give it a pass on color alone.

To top things off, I added Samantha, one of Truth's latest designs. I don't usually wear hair that covers one eye, so I decided to step out of my comfort zone a bit. Not wearing glasses (another change I've made recently) made this choice a lot easier, since I didn't have to worry about weird collisions between the hair and the glasses.

The other day I picked up these shorts from So Many Styles. What I didn't realize until I put them on was just how short they were! Fortunately, pairing the shorts with the Playtime skirt from Sn@tch's "An Hour of Playtime" set worked out great. The Playtime skirt is all-prim, so having something on underneath isn't a bad idea.

Topping it all off is the Hooded Blazer from Decoy, sans hood. The hood sculpt is well-made but didn't really fit with the look I was putting together. The blazer looks quite nice despite no prim collar or cuffs.

I've had my eye on the new Fiona skin from Free Speerit ever since I first noticed it in the blogs. When I read there was a freebie of it available as a group gift, I jumped at the opportunity. I'm far from disappointed! While the skintone is a little more red/orange than I normally wear, it still looks really good. Few dark skins work well with my shape — this is definitely one of those skins. I know I'll be checking out demos of the other makeups available in this skin line and maybe spending a little money soon!

My first Look of the Day for men! I'd planned to do this a long time ago but never got around to it.

The standout for me in this look is the shoes. (I know, big surprise coming from me, right?) While Urban Bomb Unit's PornStars have been blogged to death by now, I'd never paid attention to them until I needed a good pair of sneakers. And wow, are these ever good! I'm totally floored by these shoes. It's not just the attention to detail, but the customizability! Every little bit of these shoes can be changed to a wide variety of colors and textures. These shoes are sim-friendly, too: once you have them customized the way you want, just make a copy of them, then use the built-in script removal command. Zero-lag shoes!

UBU really needs to get into the women's shoe market. They'd make a killing offering this kind of variety and quality at a reasonable price.

Today's outfit is a confluence of several things I've wanted to use lately.

It's no secret I like purple. I haven't worn this corset from SF Design in quite a while (pic NSFW!), and I've been itching to use it as outerwear. On top of that, I got the opportunity to dig out my Natasha heels from Tesla Miles. They're an old favorite of mine, and I'd never worn the purple ones — ack!

I've wanted new jewelry for a long time now. I always have trouble finding jewelry I like, so I jumped at the chance to check out the Jewelry Fair. I think it's official: Mouse Mimistrobell is my new crack dealer. Her Abalone Dreams necklace is simple, goes with just about anything, and nicely draws attention to my cleavage. ;)

Then there's the backdrop. I received this prefab hallway as a gift through the Distributors' Showcase Network. The walls, doors and floor are customizable via a menu and include several different textures. A visit to Voshie Paine's shop, La Petite Morte, is definitely in my future!
