Something Old, Something New :)

I'm just back from my niece's wedding, hence the post title.

The "old" is pretty wondrous actually -- It's a 2005 Pixel Dolls dress that I found at a resale shop. Called Josette, the details on the system skirt are really nice. It's obviously early Nephilaine Protagonist, but you can see a clear line of development from Josette to her current work.



As an hommage to MY early days, I'm wearing the Penguin Studios freebie shoes, called Diamond Heels, and still available at The Free Dove. My skin is Fleur Basic Pink #2 in Buff, hair is Truth's Ivy in Carrot. The simple gold and pearl jewelry is by Alienbear Gupte and Lyra Muse.


For the "something new" I ran over to Persona the moment she blogged her new Fall separates. I knew I wanted the Barb slacks in Dark Turquoise, but to be honest I have enough cowl neck sweaters to dress the grid, so I opted for the new Dove sweater in Green, beautifully trimmed in lace. I tried to show the lace at the wrists as well as the neck, so click on the photo to get the full-size image.


Skin is Fleur Dig Ophelia 1 in Buff. Shoes are Starley by ETD in Teal. Hair is new from Diversity, Janis in Tango and my necklace is Star feather from Dark Mouse.

Topping it Off! [A Bit of Spring]

I wasn't finding inspiration this morning so I did what any good avi does -- I rummaged through inventory. Ended up finding these three tops in green, more or less. We often focus on whole outfits or our mix and matches so I thought it would be a nice change to just look at a few of the tops that were tucked into the recesses of my inventory :) Plus the green reminds us of spring ...


On the left is Armidi Gisaci Classic Boucle Sweater in Ash. I'm fond of this because of the subtle color and the lack of primmy parts that need arranging on my small avi. In the middle is Simone Stern's Cuddly Sweater in Leaf with the rose necklace. Two things to note here: the prim parts are very well done -- none of those rolls at the wrists, and the rose necklace that is included on the sweater texture. The latter is very thoughtful as turtleneck attachments often bump any necklace you are wearing. On the right is Pixel Doll's Wraith top in Ocean Jade and again the primmy bits fit rather nicely.

All of these should still be available in a sim near you, so if you are longing for a bit of green in a gray February [at least when I live!] here's a good start on a bit of spring.

Hair is ETD Maaliyah in Chestnut Faded and the skin is Fleur's [TaP] Vivant Terre 2 in buff. BTW don't miss the opening of the new Fleur store on Sunday. Join the Fleur update group for full information!
