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.

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?

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.

So I’m still liking yellow, and today I went all out with poppy colours and styling.  This outfit made me feel really happy and bouncy.  :)

So I’m still in a non-girly, non-stiletto mood.  Today I’m playing a fashionable utility worker, or something like that…. It’s basically just a good excuse to run around in this gorgeous coat and the rocking boots.

So, I was at this Valentine’s party last night and there was this guy…. mmmm… He was cute, and funny and sexy and… HAWT!  We talked, we drank, we flirted, we kissed, we groped, and we may have ended up in his bed… Ok, we did end up in his bed (shut up, don’t judge), and here I am the next morning, desperately trying to get dressed and sneak out of here before he wakes up.

Shit, shit, shit — where are my panties?  I’m crawling around on the floor but they’re nowhere to be found — did he steal them? Fine, I’ll go commando then. I find my stay-up stockings in a shocking state; ripped to shreds! Never mind, they’ll do for now.  My bra decorates the bedpost, and a crumpled-up piece of fabric on the floor turns out to be my little black dress, or what’s left of it.  It’s ripped and mangled and I suddenly remember, with a heated blush, exactly how it got to be that way (and no, I’m not telling you, perv).  All rigth, so far so good — or is it? I’ll get arrested or propositioned if I go out like this. Hmmm…. Oh I know, his white shirt should cover me up nicely; I’m so stealing it.  Ok, just my boots now; where are they?  WTF? Under his pillow? *extracts them ever so carefully*

I do a quick check in the mirror and flinch at the sight of my haystack hair and racoon eyes; lovely.  No, please no! Tell me that is not a hickey?!?! I’m gonna kill him.

It’s time for my walk of shame. Before I go, I sneak a little look at  lover boy, awwwww, he’s kinda cute when he sleeps.

*Credits after the jump.

I’ve got a disheveled, casual look going today.  Like I got up too late and just threw on layers of clothes I found lying on the floor; which all just happened to be in gray and green hues.   And, because I won’t leave the house without accessories, I hung some heavy silver necklaces around my neck (with matching silver hoops), stuck my feet in killer stilettos, grabbed my bag and rushed out the door.

I’ve got a casual Friday look in Autumn colours today; in warm browns and burgundies.  I’ve got different shades of brown in the scarf, skirt and boots, and a good dollop of brilliant burgundy in the sweater.  To frame it all a little, I scattered some whites in there with the tights and the shirt — the fishnet tights also add some edge to an otherwise preppy feel. The bag is an ancient Armidi piece, with colours that fit just perfectly.

I love looks that are both comfortable and sexy.  I think I got that feeling here with the fierce top from PixelDolls (which is ancient by the way!) paired with loose and slouchy pants and super sexy heels.  This was also a perfect opportunity for piling on my favourite jewellery from Zaara.

This look is lighter and cuter; basically just a take on the classic tank-and-jeans combo.  The tank in question is girly and frilly to kind of contrast the masculine cut of the jeans; same goes for the heels.  And to really drive home the girly, I went with this super cute hair and big jewellery.
