Mix & Match Hunt
I’d like to thank Keeley for the introduction and welcome to the group from my first posting. One of the reasons I started blogging was to improve my writing skills. The other reason was a persistent friend needing help with her blog and she liked the way I put outfits together. I have the most fun with hunts…going through all the pieces and putting a look together using most of the items, if not all, from the hunt. So following is what I put together from the Mix & Match Hunt. I selected this because Boho is a favourite style of mine and was excited to find this outfit in a great color and the hat that goes perfectly with it. I also picked up the pose with butterflies for free at the pose fair. This hunt ends on April 23.

Who said that you have to cover up for fall? I know I sure didn’t! I was sitting at home the other day, hot as hell and annoyed with the fact that my clothes kept getting in the way. [no I didn’t end up taking it all off tyvm.] Prims are a marvelous thing, especially on an outfit as it can add class, style and just that extra bit of something that other layer-only outfits seem to lack. I love them to death except when the designer ends up creating an outfit only a stick could squeeze their bony behinds into [not all us are a size -10 you know!]. But I’m digressing- again- so let me get back to my point. I was sitting around, annoyed with my oh-so-new and shiny outfit [the product of another successful fashion venture I might add!] when I decided to risk my perfectly proportioned pixels [yes my pixels are perfect!] in a war against the lag to take a peek at my favorite designer’s store- LeeZu! Yes I know what some of you may be thinking: I’ve nearly built a virtual and blogging shrine to her designs but I’m here to tell you about fashion and quality and these designs ARE quality soooooo…..you’ll just have to get over it!
I personally believe that all women have a bit of sex kitten in them. You know what I mean girls- the sexy, sensual side that loves nothing more than to dress in those short skirts or shorts, thigh contouring pants, and cute tops that show just a HINT of midriff. If you haven’t had the urge then you are long overdue! I came across this one outfit in one my many jaunts across the second life fahion grid and despite the cost (L$ 600 or so I believe) I just couldn’t resist and decided it was high time I splurge a little on myself. Having a budget is fine and dandy and even neccessary if you don’t want to find yourself in debt, but every now and again a girl just has to let go and live a little. Buy one of those amazingly high priced pumps you’ve been dying to try on for ages! You saved your buns off and it’s time to reap the rewards.
In one of my many jaunts across the countless shopping districts littering the second life grid that caters to the numerous other fashion addicts like myself, I came across an outfit that simply stole my breath away the moment my eyes gazed upon it. It was sleek, chic, and truly fashionable. It had a flair to it that just screamed high quality and the prims that went along with the dress were well placed and didn’t overwhelm the outfit as one might think upon first glance. I’m talking about LeeZu’s Natascha Black Flexi Dress. This dress was simple yet had a touch of sass and style that was undeniable to even the most critical fashionista and fashion critique! The dress is modifiable of course so that you can adjust the prims to better fit and suit your avatar shape and contours. I was worried that the skirt would be a bit to short to wear along with my avatar- one of my shapes is tall with long legs- but the worry was completely unfounded!
The shoulder prims look as if they may overpower the outfit and make it look cheap and tacky rather than simple and chic but once on your avatar and stylized with the right hair and a few simple accessories and shoes, or maybe knee high black boots, it looks simply wonderful. It flatters my shape by drawing attention to my small waist and the shortness of the skirt shows off my legs beautifully without being vulgar or having any touch of the “tramp look”. I decided to dress it up with some nice heels by Annex and, as you can see, I’m ready for a night on the town with some girlfriends or with a special date at a nice and classy restaurant.
