Glam For Gloom

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

I got really tired of looking at the gloomy grey skies in RL of late and decided to exchange the RL gloom for some SL glam!

Unfortunately, today is a perfectly normal Tuesday with nothing fabulous on the agenda that would justify my need for glam, so I opted for a daytime look instead. This little gold sequinned number suited my purposes perfectly; its glam yet it has an element of sweetness with the cute silk ribbon around the hips and the demure neckline. In order to mitigate the super-mini skirt I simply added opaque black tights and then echoed the black on the arms as well. I finished by sticking my feet in a pair of chunky sandals, also in black to kind of “close the circle”.

Chunkier winter sandals are prevalent in RL fashion just now (perfect for stocking-glad feet) and I would LOVE to see some SL versions from our talented shoe designers. I’m wearing the Lolas from Shiny Things, one of my all-time favourites, and they are still the only ones out there as far as I could tell. I’m thinking heavier leather straps, perhaps some studs and definitely a small platform. Please! Pretty Please! :)
