Ok, so I’m mildly obsessed with sweatshirts in SL. I love making my AV look like she’s comfy. I realized the other day that I must have upwards of 50 different sweatshirts by different creators. So I thought, hey, instead of pairing this with jeans, let’s make it dressy and 80′s!

Although the end result came out looking a bit like an ad for American Outfitters (and yes, I have that evil gold lame spandex miniskirt in rl too!) The sweatshirt is from Niniko and is one of my favorites. I love it because it’s shorter in the front and is really good for layering with other stuff. In this case, it’s layered over the bottom part of a metallic minidress. I was feeling that my arms were a bit bare, so I looked and looked for some fingerless gloves before discovering that I had awesome ones in my inventory. These are the gloves from the Pirate Annie costume put out last Halloween as a joint effort between Torrid Midnight, Kari, Celestial Studios, and Canimal. Sorry if I missed anyone there, I didn’t have time to google. It’s no longer availible, but maybe they’ll put it out again soon for this Halloween. The suedey, fringy, wonderful boots are from Usagui and the little fringy bits on top are flexi. How cute is that? The hair, of course, is the Post Ironic from Curio from Hair Fair 09. I picked up a LOT of hair at Hair Fair this year, but this is one of the about 6 styles from it that I keep coming back to. It looks pretty specialized, but you’d be amazed at how often you use it. The skin is my new default skin, Anya from My Ugly Dorothy. I still can’t put my finger on exactly what I love so much about these skins, but they’re so soft and I adore the lips and nose. Most of the skins have a smattering of freckles that looks just too sweet. They’re not for everyone, but if you haven’t tried some demos yet, please do.

SL is being a bitch today and won’t let me teleport or examine stuff in my inventory, so no slurls this post. Sorry!
