89. Boot Pants!

I don't know if this drives you as crazy as it drives me, but I just hate when I'm wearing something and the mesh clips or pops through something else that I'm wearing.  The biggest area of concern for this issue has always been with the hem of your pants meeting your boots or shoes.  Well, Tableau Vivant has come up with a solution for those boot issue with their newly released Boot Pants!  These tight fitting pants stay tapered against the leg allowing you to wear almost any boot without the pants popping through.

I also had to pick up the amazing boots that they had used in their promo pictures because well...clearly they are awesome!  I carried the studs through into a cuff on my wrist and finished off the look with the classic staple of the motorcycle jacket.  But, the twist to this one is the python texturing.  You gotta keep things interesting ... especially if you are going with an all black look.

67. Look To The Sky.

Well, today I guess I was inspired by the blue skies!  Don't worry, I pulled in lots of my signature black too. 

 I'm sporting the classic tee in sky from Entente and teamed that up with their well detailed Couleur Jeans (this is the default colour) and finally the Les Affaires Tie to as some whimsy to the look.  And, hell, I just had to dig out a hat.  Nothing says fun and carefree like a funky hat...or is that just me?  

The great back drop here is from Lisp.  It's the "Sunshine Sky Drapes" with matching rug.  It definitely manages to bring the outdoors inside in a querky and fun way.

26. Vested Interest

Hoorenbeek just released this amazing mesh vest.  The vest comes in 6 colours.  The shirt and tie can be changed via hud with 8 shirt colours and 9 tie colours.  This vest would look great with a pair of nice jeans or with slacks like I am am wearing below.

With the amount of colour options available, this vest will be a versatile and essential part of your wardrobe for those casual or dressy times.

FFL: Fallout

Here's my final look built around items that I picked up at the Fashion For Life event that runs until March 20th in support of the American Cancer Society.  Get there while you can and support this awesome cause.

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.
