This look comes together with a smooth, glowing skin and soft, feathery curls with a touch of sophistication. The flowing skirt and cropped sweater shrug make this a comfortable, yet alluring outfit for a first date or a late Sunday stroll.
The skin is from Splendilicious Skins [SLurl: Jodis] (also [SLurl: Sadistik]. It's a paler tone than I normally wear, but I really like the effect with the softly dramatic eye makeup and velvet lip color. This particular makeup is the "Ionic Skin 1" in MU10. "Ionic" skins cost $L500 apiece; $L5,000 is the fatpack cost, which will get you an entire set (12 skins) of any of the "Ionic" skins (1-3).
Once again I am wearing a hair from Truth [SLurl: Truth Island], a store I just found in the last couple of months but is quickly becoming a new favorite. This lovely hair, with its soft, bouncy curls and pinned bangs, is called "Gogo" in the shade Espresso. Truth hairs are reasonably priced at $L225 a color pack, which includes 4 shades; available are Light Blondes, Blondes, Dark Blondes, Gingers, Light Browns, Browns, Dark Browns, and Red. The Blacks & Whites pack has 5 hairs but still only costs $L225. The Buy All option will get you all of a particular hair in every color for $L1,500. There is also the Colours pack - your non-standard pinks and blues - which includes 9 hairs for $L300.
The nails are, once again, from my favorite virtual "salon", Candy Nail [SLurl: Candy nail]. I am wearing the "#P000 Basic Prim Nails" in Red10. There are over a hundred available colors (110 to be exact), and each set comes with prim nails for three hand-sizes (10, 20, and 30) and a colorable "glove" to match your skin tone. Each color set is only $L70.
The adorable shrug comes from LaLa FooFoo [SLurl: Celestial City] and is called "Button Shrug". Available in colors Moss, Cocoa, Autumn (worn), Magenta, Regal, and Cobalt, the shrug sweaters cost only $L50/each or $L150 for the fatpack. Each comes with a shirt and jacket layer.
The tank is the "Yx" top from Curious Kitties [SLurl: Curious Kitties] in Black. You can see what the top - with all its attachments & fixings - should look like here. It's quite an adorable, little top with ribbons and this outfit, unfortunately, does not do it justice. The top, available in 8 different colors, sell for $L200/each.
The ebb and flow of this skirt as you move around is simply lovely. It is the aptly named "Long Black Velvet Skirt" from the .2811. collection at PixelDolls [SLurl: Port Seraphine] in the Separates section. The skirts sell for $L99/apiece.
Once again I chose the strappy, flirty "Grace" heels from Maitreya [SLurl: Maitreya Isle], worn here in Black. These adorable heels sell for $L250/pair or $L600 for the fatpack.
There are a number of different eye- and sunglasses available at Nico Creations [SLurl: Nico Island] - costing $L50 a pair - but you would do better getting the menu-driven glasses for $L150. With a click, these can be customized with a variety of choices; including, 4 different frames, lens tint, bling, and color.
