Turn It Up or Down
Today I’ve been playing with this beautiful skirt and with two slightly different ways of wearing it; Turn It Up and Turn It Down.
Turn It Up
This is the loud version — you’ll make a statement wearing this! The skirt is fabulously chic with its tartan texture, volume and unsymmetrical hemline. I immediately thought of a Vivianne Westwood-esque outfit so I went for something of a punk-chic effect with the equestrian themed little jacket, the ruffle blouse and scarf, and then contrasted those with the funky hair and little hat and the somewhat kinky belt and boots.

Turn It Down
For a more classical and toned-down version, simply remove the punky and kinky details and exchange them for a sleek pair of boots, wide leather belt and a chic updo.

Boy, I feel like I’m always bumbling around… lol. When I used your In-World Locations list to transport to “Dark Eden,” I wound up in a field… opposite the SciFi Museum. There’s a… um… er… “store” up on the hill, but somehow I don’t think it’s Dark Eden. ;-> Can you help me (once again) find my way, as I’ve got a bad craving for that lovely “turned it up” double leather belt from Dark Eden.
Thank you ever so much in advance, from your persistent p.i.t.a.,
Stacia. <3

Darling Stacia — you could never be a p.i.t.a. (I had to look that up!
) Actually, you’ve done me a favour, turns out Dark Eden have moved to their own sim so my old Slurl was out of date, and now, thanks to you, it’s updated again.
