Skipping School
When it comes to counting … or anything mathematical for that matter, I am one person you do not want to ask. My reason for saying this is that Friday will be my last day blogging on MichaMi - Milla has promised to return on Saturday and I have promised to leave the blog in one piece on Friday. So… if my calculations are correct, that leaves me with 3 blog posts to prepare and post between now and then. But, since I really can’t seem to add correctly - I have actually photographed 5 outfits, instead of 3 – so today and tomorrow I will be posting once in the morning and once in the evening for a double dose of Sofia – I hope no-one minds.
Anyone who owns a television probably has heard of this new series on the CW called Gossip Girls? While I don’t really watch TV all that often, I can see the impact of the show resonating with it’s fans in the same way that Sex and the City did. This evening’s outfit is inspired by all the Gossip Girls floating around the grid, just another day in the upper east side’s swanky private Catholic Schools – except this look comes with a twist:
In an attempt to follow the hottest trend in Second Life – changing face; I’ve actually started out this look with a brand spanking new skin from Launa Fauna. To me, this skin oozes with edge and sex appeal and it is one of the things that inspired me to put this outfit together in the first place. The first piece of clothing that started out this look today was the plaid skirt – I felt that the length was conservative enough to make it seem as though it actually belonged to a real Catholic School Uniform, making it the appropriate choice. From there I chose to use a super low cut cami and paired it with a sexy lacy bra peeking out at the top which I haven’t actually decided whether or not to call it sexy or trashy – I’ll let you be the judges, either way suits the look to me. To give this look a touch of innocence I have accessorized with a pair of argyle socks from Puma Jie’s adorable Corduroy store and one of 2007’s trendiest items, rosary beads. Finished off with one of the must-have items of 2007, the Crisis Pumps (scripted to change to over 40 colors = AMAZING) and haphazardly styled hair with some crazy coloring, this look is the perfect balance of sexy, trashy, and innocent…. And for those who don’t know – sometimes trashy can be a good thing.
