Bottom or Top?

That’s ‘pants’ or ‘jacket/blouse’ of course…. Hello everyone! Today I wanted to show off a selection of tops and bottoms for a range of occasions.

It’s summer! And time to be outdoors enjoying the fresh air. Nature beckons with a lovely jacket from Giz Seorn called Trixie, available in eight denim colors plus a fat pack that tosses in pretty designs such as this one. It’s available at the Vanity event. Complementing the light summer feel is a pair of my favorite jeans, Tali from Blueberry, with over 20 single colors, a fat pack, and even a separate leather fat pack.

Club time you say? How about a little bit of purple to shake things up? Returning to Blueberry again, the Bette top is very versatile, with both long and short versions and over 20 individual colors plus a fat pack. The pants are a sweet half-lace number called Toxica from Gulabi, with over 30 single colors plus a fat pack with bonus lace patterns.

  • Blouse: Bette Dress Shirt – Short by Blueberry
  • Pants: Toxica by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Necklace: Endear Ladies Key Necklace and Gypsy Necklace – Black Pearl/Silver by EarthStones
  • Hair: VANILLA A and VENEZIA A by eXxEsS
  • Boots: Not Whyte Beaded Laced Ankle Boot by RFYRE
  • Jewelry: Boho Ring Collection by *KATE*
  • Pose: Semper Infidelis by Bauhaus Movement

On those days when the sun is maybe a little bright and it’s time for the floppy hat, we can still go with our Toxica pants, here in a light blue, and mix it with another offering from Gulabi, the Noctra jacket, which comes in an astounding 60 single colors, plus a fat pack with exclusive colors. What’s more, the jacket has a variety of different sections that can be recolored in the fat pack with any of the other colors; truly a very versatile top!

  • Jacket: Noctra by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Pants: Toxica by Gulabi (Marketplace link)
  • Shoes: Celine by Astralia
  • Hat: MI Female Hat by Meli Imoko (Marketplace link)
  • Hair: Valentina by Truth Hair
  • Pose: Sexy 08 by Aeon Animation (no relation to our Aeon!) (Marketplace link)

And finally, when you *really* need to get away from it all, here is the Gulabi Noctra jacket again in one of its other colors, paired this time with the Leather Cult Pants from Aris Aris, which includes 12 colors. For good measure I added the Lola tanktop by Blueberry.

I hope you all enjoyed my little romp through tops and bottoms! Let’s see what I come up with next time, shall we?

Cheers!

I know it’s summer in SL, but it’s coming up to winter in the Southern Hemisphere where I live, so having won this lovely little wool dress on an MM, I thought I’d share it with you now rather than wait six months 🙂

It comes in fitmesh sizes for classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Ebody, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Fine, and Maitreya.  Even though this is Lara fitmesh, there is a little body break though particularly around the shoulders in some poses.  I’m not sure if playing with your shape would fix this or not (I didn’t try).  Walking around in it is just fine.

To accessorize, I chose one of the jewelry gifts from FaMESHed (I hope you made it to the event!)  A choker goes well with this not only for looks, but because the dress is thick, a long necklace won’t look right if you adjust it to drape over the dress.

I was looking for some thigh boots in my inventory when I came across these great winter boots that I’d forgotten I had!  They are unrigged and so work just fine with Lara.  I love the pretty detail on these!
