Taking a deep breath and delving into my inventory!

I expect loads of you are like me in that we buy sooo many things, do hunts, get group gifties etc and never get around to wearing half the stuff in our inventory. My inventory management is non existant and my linden balance very low!

Sooo I have decided to make an effort to go each day into my inventory and make an outfit from things I already have - well this is the plan but I bet I still shop more!

Today here is what I pulled out of the wreckage:



The top is from Line - I got this at DU4 - I bought both black and white - have previously worn the white but forgot about the black!

The skirt is a group gift from Coco - Coco is a great group - many gifts and they stay up in store on a wall for ages so you dont miss them.

The shoes are Maitreya - shanti - I bought the fat pack at the 50% off sale and I do wear them a lot

The skin is from Dutch Touch - it is Yri in caramel - I was tempted to buy the V2 Joilie skins today - but I have them in the V1 in fat pack in 2 tones so I resisted. Anyway, it is possible to revamp skins now with all the wonderful makeups in tattoo layers :)

Talking of which I am wearing Glamorize soft smoke eyeshadow in soft gold and Glamorize eyeline in Supercat. Also wearing Cheap makeup lashes - tattoo layer and Prim Lashes by Glow Studio - innocent.

The hair base is from Dekade and so is the Hair Attachment

The lipstick is from Mynerva - Plum

The pearls are from Deco

The ring - I love this ring - is from Paper Couture and is called Water over Wine

Nails are from SLink

Eyes are from Poetic Colors

Pose is from Exposure

Clubbing!

Yes here I am at Green Acres Golf Course for an afternoon of clubbing!



This was quite fun - the animations for playing are not great for small avatars - wide shoulders needed to stop the arms crossing over so I suspect they were made for male avatars - but hey ho - if it is fun who cares :) Clubs are free and so it is free to play :) To try it out go here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Romantic%20Times/89/141/23

Sometimes I see girls in RL who look great with short hair and I am soooo tempted to get mine chopped - but I am a coward. In SL however it is great that we can have the option to go with the Tomboy crop.

Pants from MNK
Cropped Sweater - BBs
Undershirt - Vintage Thermals - Tres Bla

Socks - narcissus socks and suspenders from DU4
Belt - maitreya
Skin - Mynerva - Plain Jane V2 - using Hundreds and Thousands tattoo
Bracelet - Mandala
Bag - Milk Motion - Garage Sale PT item
Scarf - Bax

Oink!

Ok that title does not relate to this post - but I was too lazy to think of one that does :(

I have done a lot of shopping recently - but havent posted as

1. I am crashing a lot and

2. I have been quite dissappointed in some of the things I have bought.

One of the things I can remember offhand is a pair of high waist jeans and a top from the Dressing Room - by R.icielli. Anyway the top is just AWFUL - all white lines round the texture.

Another thing was a skin from MYNERVA - now the skin is nice - it is cute and for the most part well made - but the nipples look like they have been squashed by a steam roller! Ok I should have looked before I bought - but the demo in the shop was nice and I was too lazy to go home and examine the whole body. However as I dont run around SL naked I will use the skin. I will post soon using it to show what I mean.

So last grumble of this post. I went along to the Summer of Love Fair. I really didnt like the shopping there - it was so messy. But I did buy the Ugly Duck Glastonbury skin - kinda wish I had bought the one with the orange flower now lol - maybe I'll go back and get it too.
