The lovely Grazia blogged a vintage dress the other day and that got me digging deep into my own Inventory for some old favourites.  Now, I’m a notorious and radical deleter; if I find something lurking in there that I’ve worn at least once and have no immediate plans of wearing again, its usually gone.  Consider, as of today, I have 35, 659 items, and that is after 3.5 years  in SL as a blogger and creator. I have no mercy.  :)

Having said all that though, there are pieces that are just so good even I can’t bear to trash them.  Many of those are in my Canimal folder.  I dusted off this gorgeous skirt and sexy boho top to make today’s earthy look.  This skirt is called simply Boho Skirt, but when I went over to Canimal to see if it was still available I couldn’t find it, however, I did find a similar skirt called Rain that would work just as well.  I accessorized with jewellery from Mandala and the  new and super cute shoes from Zaara.

I’ve been a busy bee this last week, and I’ve not really bothered with getting dressed (hence no bloggage).  So I’ve gone for a super simple look today with a cute multi-colored mini skirt and a fabulously red boatneck top — love that red!

I’ve been wearing these headphones around for awhile too.    I find it fascinating how RL habits transfer over to SL.  The more stressed I am in RL, the more I like to retreat into my own world, and my first line of defense is always music.  My headphones (and the music they play) are like modern day armor against the barrage of noise and stress that every day life throws at you. And now, after some unfortunate SL-stress, I find myself putting headphones on my avatar too…..

I simply adore this gorgeous pouff ball of a dress; its so dreamy!  To avoid heading into full-on marshmallow mode, I accesorised with large, statement-like jewellery and sexy cowboy boots.

If my avie was going to the world cup in South Africa this summer, this is what she’d be wearing.

I’m feeling all soft and girly today, so this lovely, velvety blue top was perfect.  I very much liked the bared midriff, so I accentuated it by paring the top with these low-cut, white leggings.  I finished off with my number one favourite pair of shoes.

So I don’t know what happened today, but I’ve ended up with an inside-out look.

I got the gorgeous lingerie from Zaara and just couldn’t bear to hide it under my clothes — so I didn’t.  Then I couldn’t bear to take off the lacy fishnet leggings from my last look — so I didn’t.  And I didn’t want to walk around half-naked in just my underwear, so I layered some tops underneath the bra and added socks to cover up some skin.  Pearls and large earrings finish it off. Et voila’!

Now, does this really look like a planned outfit or does it look like SL messed up and vomited random items of clothing on me?

This look came together as I was idly picking through my Inventory and putting on some old favourites.  Only the leggings are new and I love them so!

It’s Friday night I feel like dancing!  Perfect occasion for this funky little one-shoulder dress.  To emphasize the funky feel, I added a pair of leggings, and then piled on necklaces, large hoops, cuffs and rings, and then finished off with these super accessorized Maitreya sandals.

I’ve been zipping around the grid like a lunatic for the last 10 days or so, hitting every furniture store and art gallery I could find, looking for new and beautiful things for my house and land that I’ve been re-doing of late.   So today I put together this retail-therapy look, for my continued quest.

So I really had lots to do today, but as usual I started procrastinating and did the SL equivalent of random doodling by trying out different stuff from my Inventory.  Soon I was zipping around the grid picking up new stuff that would go with the old stuff… and the next thing I knew, I had a new look!
