ALL MY SWEETIES

Even after eating all that pizza, I was still hungry so ... predictably I went looking for dessert. I'm glad that I can't really get chocolate and blue lemonade all over this white outfit, but it looks nice doesn't it? No need for a washing machine and bleach.

THE GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

When I was a kid my stepmother had a good stereo system with a Graphic Equalizer that had a whole grid of green lights on the front. Just a random memory that popped up when I tried on this dress! Of course it also includes a HUD to change the color, like a lot of LIV-Glam staples. This one feels so modern that I added a new haircut from Taketomi. I think it's intended for boys, but who cares?

ROSY

The other day I picked up this little dress at a new-to-me store called The Sinners Collective Crossroads. It balances the season-appropriate darker colors with some flowers to remind me that spring will come back. Eventually. I wore it layered over a black turtleneck because its so bloody cold. :D



At Shoetopia G Field had these flowered deck shoes sitting out as a gift! More serendipity. But I have to say my legs are still too cold! And in real life here I sit in my coat shivering. Maybe some soup ...

BACON

Why bacon? Because everything is better with bacon, that's why.



It's been cold lately so I wanted warm colors and texture. Am I wearing too many prints? I don't care. Oo! I need to go make some hot chocolate. I felt cold in this skirt so I dug out some nice sculpted legwarmers I bought a while ago at GField. I'm glad they aren't rigged mesh because I could adjust them for a better fit over my shoes. They are made to go over heels, isn't that awesome?

HELLO KITTY

I'm still trying on Halloween costumes!! (My favorite.) These kitty-print pieces are from separate outfits and it took some work to make the Small jacket and XXS skirt play nice together, but I like the result. This print of the jacket was formerly at the Fashion Story event, but it's also at LIV-Glam on SL Marketplace. The LIV-Glam store is so large these days, I am sometimes finding it easier to find things online!



I have tattoo whiskers too, but there is a limit to how many tattoo layers you can wear, and I've already reached it. Hmm, maybe someone is making mesh whiskers. I should look into that.



Wearing the smallest size of the skirt meant that my kneecaps popped out in some poses, but it wasn't too obvious after I added the black stockings. I have this problem with lots of mesh skirts that are narrow at the bottom, partly because the alphas that hide our legs are often not quite long enough. I often wish mesh makers would be a bit more careful making the alphas.

Skirt: LIV-Glam "Serenity Skirt"
Shoes: Peqe "High Keira Leopard" (vintage)

THE ICE CREAM SUIT

If you must, pretend for a moment that I am south of the equator, where it is spring. I am wearing white after Labor Day, and loving the crisp crease on the back of these trousers.



The orange lipstick is a nod to October. Also I pulled the lever on Helena Stringer's vendor at the Fantasy Gacha Festival, and these creepy peepers are what came out!



Good thing grape and licorice ice cream don't stain.
