So last week was very up and down for me in my rl. Well on one of my low days I was in sl just trying on clothes like usual when I started talking to a friend (TY Adaire!!). She mentioned “fishing” and i was like huh? So I popped over to try out the 7Seas fishing game at her house. I think that was the turning point in my week I spent 2 hours my first day just fishing. You can catch these little fish that swim around your head and you can name them. You can also catch other random t hings such as swimsuits, boots, hats and earrings. I am wearing my sea urchin and starfish in the picture above.
Now due to the fishing I’ve been doing I thought I needed a fishing outfit. So I put this one together! I have also set up a fishing area on our sim at my beach house (yes I have 2 houses on the same sim pretty much next door to each other, you thought I was just excessive in my outfit making) the tp point is here THINC 28/44/21. There are a couple benches and every is welcome to hang out.
Now of course I needed some shorts with lots of pockets and the Jenius shorts from Veschi are very good at treading the line between casual and dressy very well. With the right accessories they can go either way. I also love the plaid one’s the most because the colors work so well together. After working on the layers a little bit (Luckily the upper part of the shorts and the jacket are available on all the layers) I decided that I loved the Bout Du monde Jacket from Pixeldolls. This jacket comes in an outfit with a couple different versions even a really long one. I liked the short one for this and decided not to wear any of the prim parts so that I could wear my little pets. I think a white tank is perfect for underneath since the shorts have such a strong pattern. I am wearing the Gabrielle tank from Last Call which is no longer available. Shoes were a little harder, but I like how the Olivia Suede Wedge Heel boots match the cloth on the jacket.
Being me of course I needed to wear lots of jewelry. On my left arm I have on the Found Hearts Bracelet from Yummy, this has little heart charms all over it but I think that I could just as easily hang extra hooks on it just in case so it’s almost like a wearable tackle box. On my right arm I have on the Maya bracelet (Summer Flame) this bracelet has pretty little stones and I liked the pop of color. My necklace is the Kailena from Muse and is a great casual natural look. Most of her stuff is more formal but this is nice for everyday wear.
Now my favorite jewelry today! My earrings are the Worm and Hook Earrings that I caught playing the 7Seas game. They are little hooks with a worm wrapped around them. Now I would be very sad for the worm except he just sorta looks like he’s hanging out on the hook, very adorable! I wanted a nice hat so I’m wearing the Bermuda from Celestial Studios. This hat changes texture and the hair underneath is a short piecy cut. Finally I put on the Jade-Smoky makeup from the Vogue skin line and I was ready to fish!
I think that fishing turned my week around because I did eventually find a job, it is a temporary job (3–6 months) but it’s for a good company and I’m thinking it will give me some good contacts. This might mean I won’t be able to blog as much for a couple weeks, but I will try my best.
I am also wondering if anyone would be interested in doing an event sort of like what we used to do but different. Because I would probably be the only one that could show up to run it, it would be less like the contest events and more like a “Let’s dress up for a theme and get our picture taken and hang out” sort of event. Is this something you guys would be interested in? I miss seeing everyone and I know everyone loves to have a reason to dress up. Let me know and I’ll give you more details over the next couple weeks.
