The Anti-Pastel Day!

Now don't get me wrong! I love wearing pastels, but I've been wearing a lot of them lately, so today, I just had to go with basic black!

Actually, it started out because of a note card from Mischief. Because of the pending changes to XStreet Marketplace, Janie Marlowe will be pulling her items out of the Market until the dust settles. But for this week, she is having a sale on all her items on XStreet... everything is $L30... even the Greedy Packs! She admits that these are some of her earlier items, but there are still a ton of goodies to be had. So go take a look at what she has up for sale, and snag yourself a bargain or two or a dozen! This sale won't last forever, and if I understood her note correctly, she will be deleting these items (or at least many of them) from her hard-drive. Grab them now if you have your eye on something!

The skirt I am wearing is one of those items. It is called Zippity Do (can you see all the little zippers in the pleats?) and for $L30 you get a fatpack of 7 colors. I contemplated purchasing it while back in-world, but opted for something else when it came time to hit the "buy" button. I am very happy to have it now! *does the happy dance*

The skirt inspired me to go with a biker chick look... not my normal style, but it is fun to try out new looks, right? After trying a few items from my inventory, I settled on the leather jacket from 19 Motorcycle Shop. I picked this free item up months ago, and decided I'd better go and see if it was still available before blogging it... and it is!

It is a great looking jacket with nice detailing, and comes with two prim options to fit both men and women. It is a logo item (store design on back), and while I usually avoid wearing items with logos both in SL and RL, the design is attractive and actually enhances the look of the jacket. It also comes with dark glasses that I am wearing.




While I was there, I also picked up the ear piercing (just a single earring for the left ear, but I just copied it, renamed the attachment point, and fit it to the right ear to make a set), and another set of sunglasses with dark but translucent lens.




Mixing and matching pieces from my inventory completed the look! Then off to Tableau for a quick photo shoot... Now I just need an old man and a hog. ;)
