I am definitely a very situational person when it comes to my choice of dress in Second Life.  One minute I can be dressed in my 80′s gear for a music event and then the next I can be boho-ed out for a stroll through one of my favorite sims.  If you haven’t had the opportunity to explore any of the 4 Avaria sims, perhaps now is a good time.  Today’s outfit is just one that I put together while walking through the fields of desert and grass while taking pictures:

Like I said, my inspiration for this outfit wasn’t necessarily a mood but rather a scenario.  What I actually started out with was the skirt.  Perhaps one of my favorite items from Miko Omegamu, the colors in the skirt are blended so well and the lacey overlay provides a gorgeous texture and contrast.  Although you can’t tell in the images, the skirt also moves wonderfully.  Given the warmer climate of the Avaria sims, I chose to pair the skirt with a simple wife-beater style tank and a good pair of wedged boots – which less-so serve as something practical, but provide that great extra lift every girl needs for those extra few inches.  The obvious choice of accessories for this outfit were all of Lucas Lameth’s boho inspired pieces released earlier this year; the rich wooden tones echoed those seen around the sim at the time I was exploring, and they balance out the weight of the skirt quite nicely.  I’ve finished off this look with a very basic face with little to no makeup, and an effortless braid which hangs loosely over the shoulder.

Music has always been a muse for me in my everyday life – I am constantly inspired by different artist’s lyrics and more importantly, their style in dress (to anyone who caught my shout-out to Kelis in the last entry, good work). Today’s outfit is completely and entirely inspired by an outfit that can be seen in Leona Lewis’ video for Bleeding Love; I can take no credit what-so-ever in it’s conception, however I have been inspired to create this outfit based one seen in the video:

Anyone who is familiar with Dolce and Gabbana should know they have been pushing their metallic corseted belts onto any celebrity daring enough to wear them (see: Beyonce, Victoria Beckham, Leona Lewis, etc.).  Luckily for Second Lifers, Starley Thereian has brought her own version into Second Life. (Warning:  Belt may need to be adjusted to suit your avatars shape best.)  My desire to see how and where this belt may work in my inventory is what prompted me to create this look.  I’ve paired the belt with a simple strapless mini-dress and added the vintage inspired leggings to give the outfit a much needed pop.  To add some weight to my bottom half, I have decided to wear an ultra chunky wedge, which I feel fits the look perfectly.  Finished off with shell earrings and a simple over-the-shoulder pony this outfit balances retro and modern to create a look that is strong and sexy at the same time without being offensive or cliche.

A cute and casual look.

I started with this adorable stripy sweater that has some very good texturing with a hint of glitter baked in — and you have to love the little prim flower! I teamed it with a pair of wool slacks and then layered some tights and socks underneath. My feet went into my current favourite ankle boots. I added the little neck-scarf and the side-tie belt to kind of echo the stripes of the sweater and then finally I added the simple string of black pearls and some black hoops for my jewellery.

I’m feeling for girlie and pretty today.

This lovely silk dress does the trick — it’s so pretty! I kept things to a minimum aiming for that innocent and sweet look: just a gold locket necklace and the soft wavy hair. For a little bit of modern edge though, I went with these gorgeous ankle boots (decidedly the best shoes yet from Armidi).

A slightly whimsical and girlie look for this Saturday.

I love love love this dress! From the rich dark brown colour, to the lace texturing, to the construction — just fab! As it is so very girlie, I decided to go all out and indulge in sweetness. I added the shrug in dark pink and matching shoes. Next came the knit stockings and the oh-so-super-cute little headband. The cameo and sautoir set was my final touch.

A fashionable pixie cute look for today.

The fashionable part comes from this gorgeous and fun dress — I love myself some volume in my SL clothes! I kept the legs bare to really underscore the voluminous-top-skinny-bottom profile. I accesorised with silver pumps and jewellery, and a white chic bag on the shoulder.

The cute comes from this pixie-style hair that I just loved for today’s look — it keeps the sexiness level at a sweet low.

A girlie and sweet look with lots of bows and ruffles for today.

I really like this dress, the colour, the ruffles, the keyhole neckline — just great. I only added sheer tights gold and diamond jewellery and ruffle ankle boots.

I started out wanting something Flash Dancy today, but I think it turned into sugar sweet bubble gum

It was this slightly slouchy pink dress that started it all off, and after messing around a little, I went for some extra cover with a white Tee and white metallic tights. The ballet flats and leg warmers came from the dancer look I originally wanted to achieve, as does the shrug. I accessorised with the white belt and wristbands for some more detail to the look.

I saw this dress on the Fashion Feed and immediately felt the urge for a serious dose of super girlieness — who can resist pink satin?!

I went a little over the top with the white (and wild) fur coat…. just couldn’t help myself. I did exercise some restraint with the rest of the accessories and kept them to classy pearls.

A high and elegant updo (the fabulous Sofia from ETD) and dark red lips.

I haven’t done a Versatility post for ages (i.e. where I put together different looks from the same base piece). Today I’ve used the Shift dress as the base (from Last Call’s Ginny outfit), because a shift dress is an excellent basic that any style conscious Av should have in her inventory. It’s the perfect blank canvas for any look — here I offer up 4 variations for your perusal.

#1. I started with the DIVA

It’s a look for some serious partying in the trendiest of nightclubs, she is dripping in diamonds but she still has an edge. The black boa does almost all the work here, I only added sheer tights, black studded pumps and a clutch. I then went with a platinum spiky updo and smoky eyes for that edge.

LOTS more after the jump!
