Happy Christmas Eve! (is that even a holiday?)  I’m hoping that everyone can take today’s post with a tinge of humor, because it is not meant to be taken entirely serious.

For anyone who grew up as a “part-time” catholic, like I did – you’d know why I’m centering my outfit today around an event that happens at midnight on Christmas Eve.  Mass doesn’t just have to be for old people and bible thumpers, oh no.  Midnight Mass is and has always been for young people and families with young people more than just a gathering at church to rejoice in the birth of Christ;  It’s an opportunity to get yourself all gussied up in your fanciest conservative-wear and to walk the catwalk down the center aisle of your church and show all those kids you went to High School with (or maybe still go to High School with) just how nice you clean up.  Which brings us to today’s outfit:

All kidding aside, tonight is a night for all of you who observe Christmas as a holiday to rejoice in the birth of Christ; and you can’t do it in any old outfit; you throw on your Sunday’s Best and you head to church with the masses. 

I started this outfit off with the Francia Woven Coat from Armidi because these trench and military style coats have been really hot this year, and I really think that Nicole David has done a wonderful job in creating an elegant and classy piece.  With all of the sculpted attachements that come with it however, it’s quite difficult to accessorize – but with an overcoat you really don’t need to; that’s the best part.  I’ve pulled together the outfit really simply with a pair of basic red pumps and a matching red headband and nailpolish.  I have also accessorized with a pair of classic pearl earrings and basic diamond ring.  Finished off with simple and light makeup and delicate curls to create a look that is both simple and classy to get you through mass without any wandering eyes looking at the wrong things when they shouldnt be.

Again, I really hope that everyone is able to see the humor in this post - it was all meant in good fun – and I really saw this as an oppurtunity to show just how simple “classy” can be.  All too often in Second Life I run into women who are marching around with anything and everything hanging out, and I often wonder if they actually think that’s sexy?  There’s a certain balance that comes with how one should dress themselves in my opinion.  If you’re going to show some leg, cover your chest and arms and vice versa; unless you’re on a beach of course.  I think that’s a fairly simple principle, right?

 I know today is totally not the day for preaching or babbling (unless you’re a priest or a preacher of course) - so I’m going to cut myself short there.  I’d like to wish all of you who celebrate the holiday a very Merry Christmas Eve and safe travels. 

Until next time! <3
