Looking Good In Second Life®

Dec 26

Business as Usual

The holiday is over (but New Years is just around the corner!), and for many people that means it’s time to return to work.  I know it’s nothing we enjoy people, but it’s a fact of life - especially if you want to buy those Lindens and be fabulous in Second Life.  Today’s outfit is a dedication to all those who are going to be enjoying the pleasures of rush hour traffic today in order to sit at their office desk and wonder why they aren’t working off yesterday’s meal:

I know that Milla has mixed and match almost every outfit that she’s ever worn on this blog - and I’ve tried to do that thus far; but sometimes things are just not meant to be tampered with because they are just too perfect the way they are.  Besides, who is fussing with mixing and matching the day after Christmas anyway?  I’m not - I’m probably still suffering from a mild case of food coma.

I started this outfit off … with the whole outfit.  Actually a men’s outfit, but it works so well for women and it’s actually one of my favorite pieces from any of the Paper Couture lines - I couldn’t resist.  Besides, nothing screams “I’m a boss” like a sexy pant suit in the office.  To give the look a bit of a feminine touch I’ve added a gold chain necklace with over-sized beads and Paper Couture’s famous Bumble Bee Ring.  I seem to be stuck on red, perhaps a sentiment left over from the holiday - but I’ve also opted for sexy red lips and matching nails.  Finally, I’ve accessorized with a very simple pair of thick framed black glasses ala Prada; which have been hugely popular for the past few years and provide a just-right level of sophistication.

Does anyone ever take a glance through their inventory and just find that one thing that when it was released you told yourself you’d never take it off?  I totally suffered from one of those epiphanies the other day when I rediscovered the Deanna hair from ETD.  I swore when I bought this hair it would never leave my head, and then I got swept up in the whole idea of changing hairs every 5 minutes again and it was soon lost in the sea of pixels weighing down my inventory.  Isn’t it perfect?  It’s just perfectly casual and sophisticated and it has those wispy pieces in the front that frame the face so nicely.  It’s like finding buried treasure - really. 

Thanks for reading!

    Oooh! That looks fab — I never even thought of looking at the men´s wear! I love masculine clothes worn in a feminine way and you do it beautifully. :)

    This article was an enjoyable read, and I’m not even an SL fashionista. Oh, I’m not a RL one either, I just realized that that statement might have been a little ambiguous. The pictures were okay too.

    You may have to buy it off of OnRez.com, or you can try the Paper Couture store at the “Fashion Avenue” sim (Type: Fashion Avenue into the Map Search)
