It’s the law

Applier clothing… meh.  But you know, sometimes it can just work with the right combination of other things!  This post is really to show a recent newcomer I helped out that you can get lucky if you look, and you can find things that work together just right, without spending a lot of money.

I put this together from things I already had, and won a significant amount of money on a “Best in Uniform” contest by doing so.  Lets look at some of the things.

When Bootgasm still had an in-world store, they ran lucky chairs.  I won these boots from them.  Ditto on the pistol at the creator’s store.  And the hair was a free group gift.  The uniform and the cap cost L$35 all up.  And I think I won over L$400 in the contest!

So, with a little ingenuity, luck, and small outlay, contests can earn you a little bit of money!  And if you don’t win, at least you built up your wardrobe hehe


Chloe 3 in 1

I have a versatile dress to show you today.  It’s a group gift for Fabulously Free in SL, which as the name implies, is FREE to join 🙂

The dress is in this single bronze color and comes in fitmesh for every major mesh body, plus classic avatars.

Ruffle

These panties are a group gift from Wretch.  Their group is FREE to join.

There are sizes for Kemono default, Fitted Torso, and Hella Hips.  Like most things Kemono, there is a full dev kit included.  These panties were originally pink, but I changed them, but you can of course do texturing and so on with the included UVs and AOs.

Being Wretch, there is a crotchless version in the pack too, and these have a HUD to enable and disable public interaction *wink*

Arabesque

This is one of the current group gifts for members of Fab Free at Glitter.

Although it’s only in standard mesh sizing, it fits my shape pretty well.  I’m wearing the small size here but it does show some tiny breakthroughs at the back neckline, so to walk around in it, I’d probably have to wear the medium.

I really like the pattern and the long sleeves!


Ari

Hello sweets, today I’m showing you the January group gift from Prism.  Prism is FREE to join.

Of course we all need a nice sweater and jeans for when you have to run out into the snow quickly!  To be honest, I would move if it snowed in winter!  Brrrr!  Included in the gift is the sweater, jeans, and Ugg boots, which are probably not a great idea to use to run out in the snow 🙂  Maybe I should have photographed inside?

There are tons of sizes including fitmesh for classic avatars, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Freya, Isis, Venus, Curvy, Fine, eBody, and TMP.

OMG this snow is going to ruin my hair!  Never mind, winter will be over soon and we can look forward to warm sunny days and the beach!


Alice in Wonderland

Recently I did a DJ set where I built an Alice in Wonderland decoration, complete with falling down a rabbit hole. As is my wont, I created my own Alice costume for it. And is also my wont, it had to be a somewhat sexy Alice. And as a third wont (wont, wont wont! Oh… sorry!), I made it a mix ‘n match special, including some full perm items.

The basis for the top is the laced demi-top with half sleeves CB155 from Cool Big Bird, which being full perm I colored in light blue and then set the transparency to be a bit more revealing. To this I added the shoulder puffs and long flexi sleeves from the Ninianne gown by Arwen’s Creations; and the Lolita Lace Cuffs by Sweet Thing. Alice has to have an apron, and the Jewel Ruffle Skirt by Bivvia fit that bill; I set the main part of the skirt to transparent, leaving just the top belt and the apron, then colored appropriately. The white part of the apron was also set to be partly transparent for a see through look.

Did I mention there was anything under that apron? Must have slipped my mind to include anything there, gosh… I did add some mesh bows on the hips to ease an awkward transition in the mesh of the apron and its belt. Supplementing the ensemble are (what else?) my fave boots from Candy Kitten.

I also found a new (to me) pose vendor in SEmotions, which has a nice set called Modeling Poses Set 52 at the Equal 10 event this month. Did I mention there was nothing under the apron? One could of course set the transparencies on the top and apron to opaque, and add a bikini bottom… but, why? 😀

Come join me for a little tea, my friends! Just be careful of that rabbit… and anyone wearing odd hats! Cheers!


BWC Black and White

Hello lovelies, here’s a free group gift for SLF&O members from BWC!

Second Life Frees & Offers is FREE to join, and if you are anything like me and love finding great freebies, if you’re not in the group, you’re mad 🙂

This dress comes in fitmesh sizes for Lara, Ocacin, TMP, eBody, Curvy, Fine, Physique, Hourglass, Venus, Isis, and Freya.

The necklace is included, as well as a bracelet (which I’m not wearing as the resize script refuses to make it small enough for me, and it’s no modify).  There is also a four texture HUD, with two textures been predominately black on white, and the other two being well, white on black lol.

A really nice dress for free.  I love the generosity of some of the designers in SL!

  • Dress: B&W Dress by BWC
  • Body: Lara by Maitreya

Hello lovelies, I have yet another teleporthub.com group gift to show you!

I’m not sure how this was done but this dress gives off pink no matter what you do with the 15 color HUD 🙂

Pink as you probably know is not a redhead’s favorite color, but with the color overlays, it works pretty nicely!

The skirt and top are separate, and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Curvy, Fine, Physique, and Hourglass.  If pink highlights are you thing, hurry over to The Point event where this is an exclusive!

Elisya

This is another free gift for teleporthub.com group members!

There are sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Physique.  The mesh detailing and texturing on this are really good!

I’ve made a few things in blender and I must admit, the mesh section of the dress must have taken a bit of fiddling to get right (or the creator used the array modifier in a way I don’t know how to lol)
