lotd241016 - Time travel and Laziness

This blog post has been weeks in the making! Because I'm lazy, that is, though. I haven't been in SL much and every time I log in I see this outfit I'm wearing and go "gosh I look cute, I should blog that" and then....I don't. So I've been wearing this for like 3 weeks now. I stink. (I am so procrastinating that I wrote this post yesterday and didn't actually finish, so now the dates are wrong, IT'S LIKE TIME TRAVEL)

So lets do the rundown!

I generally avoid applier clothing unless it's for layering, it just feels like a step backwards a lot of the time but it actually does have a lot of advantages, for instance, fit will always be perfect. And this incredibly pretty cami by Nylon Outfitters, the lace on it is so delicate, I feel like it would be difficult to get that feeling of lightness on full mesh clothing. PLUS wearing it, I don't have to worry about what fits underneath my coat.

My Thessaly coat came out last year, by Schadenfreude, but at the time I was a Toddleedoo, and so I wasn't able to take full advantage of its awesomeness. It has a big hood, which you can wear up or down with a click, and comes in several eye-soothing shades with Allegory's wonderful swirls on them, and looks even better if you're a little more statuesque than I am.

My pants are by Blueberry and what I love about them is that they're not ultra low-cut (no bum crack here) but they're also not soooo high-waisted that you can't find a shirt that works with them. I fatpacked the colourful leather option, but there's also a denim pack. I like how the orange here is a sort of creamsicle shade, it's like a more soft autumn look.

The shades of green in my fri.day shoes mirror the greens in my jacket so nicely, and I've accesorized with a ribbon choked from an old Junbug gacha - I played that thing so much, I've got about a million of these, and GDit's new Fishing for Compliments set, comprising of the bag and the matching colorful fishscale nails.

I didn't capture it too well in the pictures, but this hair by Doe is actually an updo, the lush curls at the front are in fact the bangs of the style, it's really very pretty.

Now I feel like I need to wear something spookier, the creepytime approacheth and here's me all pumpkin-spice-latte fallwear!

Goodness, look at me, wearing clothes intended for adults! Incredible! Not just any grownups clothes, grownups clothes that are coordinated! See the part where my dress matches my shoes. I'm terribly fancy. My tasty vintage dress and shoes combo is from GDit, a new mainstore release. The Dinner Party Set includes a fitted mesh dress for standard and mesh bodies, and shoes to fit both Slink and Maitreya feet. It includes not only the cream with coffee accents I'm wearing here, but also a rich coffee with cream detailing of both, and indeed made me want coffee. The iced coffee I'm carrying is from the Gilded Cage gacha by Tres Blah, from the round of Arcade which has just ended. It's almost my drink of choice from Starbucks - an iced mocha, with no whip. And an extra shot. But this seems milkier than I want. Ah well.

I'm really enjoying being able to wear makeup again. It's a little more of a challenge trying to find new makeup these days for us stubborn types of don't wear a mesh head, but I'm still having a lot of fun finding new-to-me places that offer tattoo layer makeup. I especially love this lipstick from Shiny Stuffs, who now mostly make stuff for Catwa, but have quite a few system cosmetics, and the pouty shape of these red pinup lips is just glorious. I've also been wearing a lot of Veechi makeup lately, here, eyeliner, which I've paired with glitter from an old favorite of mine, Nox.

My backdrop here is a rather neat gacha set from Culco from earlier this year, Street Sartorial, it comprises various bits of London-inspired street furniture - wall facades, railings, sidewalks, streetlamps, that sort of thing, and is super-useful for photography sets, I love that this sort of thing is becoming more common.
