Crack That Whip! Redux

Well, I promised you a more street wear friendly version of my "Crack That Whip!" outfit and here it is.  I've retained several of the main elements, including the inspiration piece: The Ring Master Jacket!  By keeping the colour palette of the jeans and accessories dark and using a colour pulled from the jacket's lapel, the jacket is highlighted perfectly!

Let's face it, you'd be hard pressed to catch me walking around in the fishnet stockings featured in the first look, but by toning it down and replacing the over-the-top elements with more everyday casual items, the look is very accessible.

Crack that whip!

Is it just me or does SL sometimes feel like a circus?

This virtual world of ours gets to feel like we are centre stage in a three ring circus.  Sometimes we're the Ring Master, sometimes the clown and sometimes the sucker following the elephants.  Whether you are soaring with your accomplishments, delighting in the company of your friends and loved ones or feel like you just stepped in a steaming pile of elephant dung...it's sometimes the greatest show on earth.

At least, that's what came to mind for me when I first spotted this Ring Master's Jacket from Lazybum.  The strong lines in the structure of the collar and lapel accentuated by the striped insets make this an eye catcher!  The jacket comes in a variety of colours to suit your mood.  And, yes, this outfit is definitely a flight of fancy.  An extreme look that may not work for day to day life.  But, for today, the look sums up the excitement, beauty, awkwardness and oddity that is our SL lives.

 

Just as we manage to take all that our SLives throw at us and turn it into a positive and rewarding experience, in an upcoming posting, I will take inspiration from this over-the-big-top look and turn it into a fun look for everyday wear.
