Winter Holiday

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

All this winter inspired stuff is starting to make me nauseous.  Today, we’re heading to the pool. 

 During the holiday season or even just the winter in general, thousands of people will flock to their favorite warm vacation spots to get away from the blistering cold and all that gross white stuff that covers the ground making it difficult to get to school and work every day.  Today’s outfit is inspired by every-one’s favorite resort vacation – you know, the one where there’s a bar in the pool and everything is all inclusive.  Yes, please:

What?  Another strapless mini?  Yes.  What I actually started today’s outfit with was the plain white flip flops.  They had been sitting in my inventory for over a year, and I don’t think I’ve used them more than two or three times, but today when I was searching for the right “tropical” sim to loiter in, they seemed appropriate.  I continued from there by throwing on my favorite bikini (Cyrene from LAST CALL*) and that super cute pair of bug-eye sunglasses.  After sitting in my lounge chair for a while, however – I decided that the outfit needed something a bit more to give it a bit of umph -something one might wear over their swimsuit when they are sitting at the bar sipping cocktails at mid-day.  My inspiration for the mini-dress was actually that terrycloth Juicy Couture dress that was really popular a few years ago (that I got so sick of wearing and seeing) - I started out in the same way that I did the last mini; with the Armidi tank bottom, and I paired it with the strapless top in a matching color from LAST CALL.  Finally I accessorized with that little Pochette from ETD – perfect to fit your little bottle of tanning oil, SPF, a tube of lip-gloss (not while you lay out, please), and those few extra dollars for tipping that super cute guy behind the bar that’s mixing your Pina Coladas.
