… a Look of the Day.

I finally managed to visit Shoetopia. Shoooes as far as the eye can see…

Well, as far as my draw distance anyway.

The very first thing I bought, were Slink’s new high mesh feet. Made especially for shoes with a dangerously high heel. I absolutely love the Slink add-on shoe system, so getting these was a no-brainer.

And, of course, I had to get some matching footwear for them. The shoes I ended up buying, are pretty similar to a pair I own in RL. I lovingly refer to those as my “kamikaze shoes”. Because that’s what wearing them is usually like.

Hopefully the SL ones will not be quite as hazardous.

Hunter Green and Amaranth

… week 39 and 40 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

After all my computer problems and frustrations (read the previous post/rant for the details), it is now time for a big catch up-post. First up is Hunter Green!

I really struggled with this color. Nothing I owned was quite the correct shade of green. In the end I settled for this kind of grey/greenish sweater. Actually, every time I look at it, it seems to turn more grey and less green.

Oh well, moving on to Amaranth.

Weird color actually. If I stared at the color swatch for too long, it just seemed to morph from pink to red and back again, right before my eyes. Reminded me a lot of Folly, too.Which is why I re-used the shoes I bought for that color. (I know, baaad color blogger!)

Anyway, hopefully my pc will continue to behave itself next week. And I’ll be back on schedule again from now on.

Folly

… week 7 of the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge part II.

Apparently Folly is a color one-fourth of the way between crimson and rose, closer to crimson than to rose. In any case, it’s not a color I normally wear. So I went shopping.

After buying the shoes and the shirt (it’s actually a dress), I felt I needed something green to make this outfit a bit less… pink… red? Anyway, I remembered seeing a green pair of pants at Lee. This is a new store that isn’t really open yet, but has a few teasers for sale. After trying it on I CAN say I really like the color and  texturing. But the shape! It’s rigged mesh and the shape is just completely wrong. The legs are extremely skinny and it has a serious case of “horseshoe pelvis”. Now I know there are people out there who like that kind of thing, but it’s not for me. But anyway, I liked the color, so it did wear it. But with a pose that made it look a bit better.

To finish this post, I wanted to highlight my necklace. It’s by Southpaw and is the current VIP-group gift. It comes with a HUD that let’s you change both the metal and the gems, so you can match it to any outfit. AND it’s cute!
