Retrology
Friday, December 28th, 2007Music has always been a muse for me in my everyday life – I am constantly inspired by different artist’s lyrics and more importantly, their style in dress (to anyone who caught my shout-out to Kelis in the last entry, good work). Today’s outfit is completely and entirely inspired by an outfit that can be seen in Leona Lewis’ video for Bleeding Love; I can take no credit what-so-ever in it’s conception, however I have been inspired to create this outfit based one seen in the video:
Anyone who is familiar with Dolce and Gabbana should know they have been pushing their metallic corseted belts onto any celebrity daring enough to wear them (see: Beyonce, Victoria Beckham, Leona Lewis, etc.). Luckily for Second Lifers, Starley Thereian has brought her own version into Second Life. (Warning: Belt may need to be adjusted to suit your avatars shape best.) My desire to see how and where this belt may work in my inventory is what prompted me to create this look. I’ve paired the belt with a simple strapless mini-dress and added the vintage inspired leggings to give the outfit a much needed pop. To add some weight to my bottom half, I have decided to wear an ultra chunky wedge, which I feel fits the look perfectly. Finished off with shell earrings and a simple over-the-shoulder pony this outfit balances retro and modern to create a look that is strong and sexy at the same time without being offensive or cliche.
