This outfit came about when I was sorting through my recent purchases. I had on the Morgan hair with it super duper cute beret when I put on the new wool plaid coat from Pixel dolls. This has a super cute hood and little skirt and instantly made me think of a spy. Usually I don’t dress in costumes but today I just couldn’t help myself!

Like any good spy I needed my glasses so I put on the Ultra glasses from primOptics and tinted them dark. After adding a black turtleneck from Fleur, jeans from Celestial Studios and these lovely paige boots from Slink I felt just inconspicuous enough. Of course I couldn’t leave it at that I had to have some jewels to flaunt but I kept it simple with the gutter glitter earrings from Violet Voltair and 2 big chunky rings. On my left hand I have on the diamond encrusted square cut amethyst ring from Paper Couture and on the right I have on the classic cocktail ring from Genesis.

I had a lot of fun putting this outfit together and I guess I have a little announcment about where I’ve been hiding lately. My husband and I recently discovered that we are going to be parents of twins! It was a bit of a surprise but we are very happy. Unfortunately morning sickness has hit me big time and I am having troubles staying up past 9pm. I have been told this will go away in a few months, we’ll see haha.

I might not be around as much as usual but it’s not that I don’t love you guys and I’ll try to be around as much as I can. Also if anyone has advice I’m more than open for it. This is all a first for me and I’m learning as I go.

Since the weather is turning cooler in real life, I have had an urge lately to wear things that are more covered-up and layered in SL. I know that there are many days when I just want to throw on jeans (or shorts) and a T-shirt, but I usually try to put together an outfit with some flair. I have picked up some great layering pieces and decided I would build a fun casual look that showcases some of them.
 
I absolutely love this scripted scarf by Sn@tch. It comes along with cashmere sweaters in two different color families (the one shown and a newer “autumn” pack), and each scarf has 10 different texture/pattern options. I have also included another fantastic layering piece from Sn@tch, lycra-look leggings in a dark pink argyle; they come in an affordable ”mega-pack” with 10 different colors and patterns to chose from. To any SL fashionistas out there who have been scared off by Sn@tch’s uber-goth look and feel, I recommend you go have another look. That store has countless layering options and so many items that can be very stylishly worked into less-than-extreme wardrobes.
 
I wanted to layer a pair of cuffed shorts and had several options in my inventory; I chose these grungy, ripped ones from ducknipple for their “dirteh” cool factor.
 
On the jacket layer, I’m wearing a pink camo T-shirt from WRONG, another good place to find a myriad of wardrobe layering options. On the shirt layer, I chose a striped, long sleeved T-shirt from a little shop by Matz Miles. I like combining the mix of various patterns in this outfit, using camouflage, stripes, polkadots and diamonds used playfully together.
 
I am wearing the imcomparable Porn Star XTra Hi-Tops shoes, which are scripted with tons of color and pattern options for fabric, laces, stitching, sole, etc. These ‘chucks knockoffs’ come in both low and high versions. This outfit features the high versions with the top folded down, but you can also wear them up, kind of like a sneaker bootie that extends up to mid-calf.
 
For jewelry, I wanted to play up the whimsical feel of this outfit with some “non-matchy” pieces; I chose some elaborate and feminine drop earrings from Untone and a bright and bold necklace from Violet Voltaire. On my wrists, I am wearing some free studded leather cuffs you can pick up at an alt/indie SL music club called Alt7 (I love the cute little musical notes on these cuffs).
 
For any of you out there who don’t know by now, ETD is having a huge hair sale through November and into December; the ETD hair style I’m wearing is Laine in the color Dirty, and it’s new (but still on sale!). It also features a scripted color-change headband. My “Steam” glasses come from PrimOptics, which have tons of scripted color change options, as well as lenses that can be tinted light or dark; I tinted them slightly pink to match this outfit.
 
As usual, I am wearing one of my Celestial Studios skins, the Vogue – Mid Noir in Champagne, and eyes from Celestial Studios as well in Light Series – Green (though they don’t look green through my tinted glasses). Since I have had some of my graphics borked by upgrading my nVidia graphics card settings for the newest SL client (which we were FORCED to download, grrr), I now need to wear nail polish if I don’t want to have system-white nails; I can’t use the nail polish option on my skins now unless I want to have a totally pink upper body. I found some great nail color choices at Detour, and I’m wearing one of their Metallics in Lavender. I used poses from both Reel Expression and Ladybird. As always, I am wearing my own shape.
 
There are many times when I want to feel more dressed up in SL, but I think this outfit is perfect for more casual days when I still want to wear something that isn’t boring.
