This was one of those outfits that started from the waist down then from the waist up. I took the skirt from the Floral Dress in Blue from Indie and put on the Cameo Belt in Blue over it. Since the skirt is part of a dress and obviously wouldn’t have a waistband, the belt makes the skirt seem like a separate piece. The print and the colors are so pretty and make me impatient for spring. These belts are awesome, but I just wish they came in every color imaginable. They come in every layer so they come in handy when you take apart dresses and such. I did tint the belt just a smidge to an off-white color so the cameo matched the shoes and necklace. The MaryGeo Pumps in Cream from Shiny Things came next as I have been waiting for a chance to wear these shoes. I love the diagonal straps and the thicker heel. (In the pic of the back of the outfit, the shoes look discolored, but they’re not, they’re a gorgeous cream color. I think the sun moved on me and I forgot to set it back to sunrise, so I’m really sorry for that.) These remind me of these shoes I saw in rl (don’t really remember where), but they were green with a hint of blue with a cream strap and a soft pointed toe. These shoes definitely fill that desire for those rl shoes. I love the brownish band at the hem of the skirt because it made the skirt more interesting, but it took some time to find a top to go with the skirt that didn’t look too cutesy or super feminine. I chose the top from the Dolores Dress in Chocolate from bossa nova because I love the neckline and the shading is superb. Plus, it was mod so I tinted it to a warmer brown to match the band in the skirt. The original color was obviously a chocolate color, like a milk chocolate.
The necklace I’m wearing is the Tear Drop Chain Necklace from Swallowtail Designs. I love the jewelry from that store, and can’t wait for more new stuff. I really like the asymmetry of the necklace and the shape of the pearly beads. My ring is the Wood Ring in Cherry Stud from Earthtones Boutique. I love wood jewelry because the grain always has an interesting pattern. I particularly like the mix of wood tones in this ring.
My hair is the Slow Jamz 2007 hair in Black from Hiccup. I love the name, but I love the bangs even more. I need a haircut soon, so maybe I’ll go for a version of these bangs. This hair has a really sweet feel, but with a little quirkiness. I tinted the band to match the necklace; it was originally silver. My skin is the Vogue Skin in Amber (Fall – 3) from Celestial Studios. Love the lip color and the gloss, of course. And I didn’t pick 20 lip glosses for the Amazon thingie, it was 15. And, yes, I love them all. I didn’t know there was so much stuff on Amazon. (Note to Hethr & Toneless: my birthday => giant sock monkey 
)
No special brushes were used. I made a brush (yay!) and used that.

Lovely, Jennifer!
” I need a haircut soon, so maybe I’ll go for a version of these bangs.”
i remember some time ago you (or hethr?) said you were showing a pic of some etd hair to your hairdresser… did you actually do that?
how did (s)he reacted?
That was Jenn hehe I have considered it but my hair is usually cut boooring style. I love this outfit jenn so pretty!
Thank you, Ana!
Moire: Yup, that was me. It was the Trinitee hair. I went to the Paul Mitchell school where the students do the hair cuts, but they have instructors supervising them so you’re not going to get some crappy haircut. I showed the stylist the pic and told her where the inspiration was from and everything, but she didn’t seem to think anything of it. I don’t think she really understood what Second Life was (even though I explained it). I think she thought of it as just a game and the hair as an “anime” style. Also, they seemed to be more fixated on the fact that my hair was down to my butt and that I getting it chopped off. But, she did keep the pic so I don’t know what she really thought of it all. Next time I go, I might get bangs like the Slow Jamz hair, but a little longer. So, I’ll keep you posted on if it goes any differently.
Hethr: Aww, your hair is so not boring. I love how it is right now; it looks super cute. And thank you! I was watching West Side Story when I was making the outfit, so that may have something to do with it.
