Perfect secretary

This post is mainly to show up a very fun thing to "wear", namely Grimalkin's Deskjockey - it includes the desk, clock, filing cabinets, papers and lamp! I got it for a few Linden, but I think it is priced now. With it I am wearing a perfect outfit to play the perfect secretary, namely Ivalde's Miranda black skirt set. I got it half price during her "black items at half price" sale. I just wore the simplest of accessories with it - a Talisman pearl droplet and Serenity earrings from Second Mirage. The rose-trimmed black suede shoes, from GF Field, provide some individuality to the outfit. The hair is Bavaresi from FD in Expresso.

Priestess

That's what I feel like in this superb "Aria" gown, which was last month's group gift from Evie's Closet. It went perfectly with the hair from Sanctum that I picked up free from the Hair Fair that was on a few weeks ago. The ornaments are part of the hairstyle: very detailed and just right with a simple gown like this - no jewels needed!

Bohemian look

I had a nice time in Sari's Yarn Hunt - a beautiful, colourful sim, and the Yarn Balls were easy to find! I got these lovely pants free, and then snapped up a matching top and earrings - with change from a hundred Linden for the two items! The necklace was a bit more expensive, but went beautifully with the ensemble.

Like a butterfly

I'm afraid this outfit isn't free, but it so pretty I wanted to share it on the blog. It started with the butterfly dress: an amazingly beautiful skirt, but the accompanying pants and top were very skimpy, so not quite my style. However, when I saw the Loving dress from Punch Drunk I realised they were made for each other. I also indulged in the new hair from Kayoot. With this outfit I didn't want to overdo the jewels and I've stayed with a simple gold necklace and some favourite earrings.

Gorgeous gowns

Two lovely gowns that I picked up for no more than 1 Linden between them! Nicky Ree has put up a sumptuous red gown for a single Linden. The necklace and earrings were the freebie Earthtones items that I mentioned in my last post. I found I had a number of red gloves in my inventory, because of all the Christmas gowns I picked up, and this pair seemed to go the best. It would be a simple matter to create your own (system) gloves and colour them red, also. The hair was (only) 30 Linden

I found the black wrist rosette in a shop in Fanghammer: it and the lace gloves I'm wearing in the next photo were the shop freebie. I had visited Fanghammer to collect the free dress, which I'd seen on the feeds. With this gown, I am wearing the same hair, jewelry, tights and shoes as in my previous post.

Green elegance

A fairly straightforward look, based on a short but elegant dress that I picked up at a new-to-me designer. It wasn't free, but I thought reasonably priced. I accessorised it with a simple set of bangles and a more elaborate Earthtones necklace that makes the outfit special. This necklace again was not free, but I did pick up a nice freebie from a new Earthtones outlet on La Palmita (which is where a lot of these pictures were taken). I brought out my trusty GLAM tintable tights, and tinted them a pale green and just as I was wondering what hair to use, Moire Georgette dropped the Lazy Jane fatpack of hair on her group - which went with the look perfectly.

Flower power

Sorry for the long gap - I've been on travels in RL - and I really liked my last outfit ;-)

However, when I saw this yummy retro top on the blog feeds, I realised it was time for a change. It is a group gift, and this designer just showers her group members with cute gifts! I tried a few different things with it. I thought it was rather 70s and so the flower power jeans (freebie) seemed to go rather well. Whilst I was checking the Yak and Yeti landmark, I found they had lots of good new free stuff, including the wax bangles (the larger red and coloured stack, on my right arm) worn in some pictures. There are some beautiful things, and their Indian-themed main store is a nice place to visit in itself.

When exploring the star festival skyboxes on the Isle of TranquilityI found a set of discounted skirts from Naughty, which were also in the right bohemian style, and green one toned well with the top. I wore some leggings underneath. In most of the photos I'm wearing "Morgan" hair, but in one of the pictures below I have on the Big Bomb hair that was a lucky chair prize a while ago.

I changed the bangles about - on my left arm I wore the Baby Monkey freebie (above right) to start with and then substituted a (non-freebie) Jade bangle. Worn in all the photos are the circle pendant from Persona and green wedge shoes - neither were free but both good value and I find they go with lots of outfits.

A number of the photos were taken in one of the very pretty skyboxes (designer Aya's), by the way, and some of the others in Yak&Yeti.
