Formal Complaint

When you are new or even just low on fund like me, finding good quality formal wear takes time and a bit of hunting. If it were not for the generosity of some amazing formal wear designers a lot of us would be walking around in hand me downs and badly textured trends from 2006!

I make it a habit to grab any good quality formal dress I find because you never know when you have a red carpet worth event to strut for! I was lucky enough to find a fantastic dress today for only 1L and I also have been saving one look just for this occasion!

If you happened to read back a bit I showed you the upper part of Gizza's male anniversary gift. This gorgeous creation is it's female counterpart! The details on this dress are amazing quality. The sexy slit, delicate floral and lace details are one of the best quality gifts I've found in a very long time. Both the gown and the male tuxedo are group gifts that you can get -Here! There are also tons of other free group gifts around as well!!

The second lucky find was this pink vintage gown. I love the soft flowy feeling of this dress so so much! ViLada is a new store to me. I'm sure a lot of you have already passed through but this was my first time finding this store. Imagine my excitement when I found she was offering this gorgeous confection for only 1L for a limited time only!! If you aren't into gowns there is also a group gift set along the wall behind this gown!

With these two gowns as a starting off point there is no reason anyone should remain formally unfashionable!!

LOTD- July 17 Mix it and Match it

This weekend has been busy for any of my thrifty friends out there! Hunts galore and a ton of awesome sales. As I mentioned in my last post there is a 3 day sale going on right now at Onyx Wear and all over the sim it resides on! I got some awesome makeups at V.E.L that I mentioned before so I thought I would show you my new favorite!! It's a bit different from my normal look but sometimes I need a change!

 Squee! I love the dark details on  this. It is one tattoo that covered the eyes nose and cheeks so you need not worry about using too many layers. This is great if you happen to use a viewer like Singularity that does not support multiple layer options.

Worn:
Makeup: V.E.L- Day of the Dead-Purple (10L this weekend only HERE!)
Hair: Analog Dog- Joy-Jet Free @ Landing
Outfit: Gizza- First Year Gift-Male Free (Note: This is the male suit, there is a female gown as well. Group gift!)

I had attempted to take a shot of a more mainstream outfit for you...but..

SL was apparently having none of that. Somehow it managed to morph two or three of my ready made looks into one monster. Oddly enough I was so focused on an IM that my first clue in was the random pony tail sticking out of my head. Then the other items started to come into focus. As an added bonus despite a relog I am unable to actually detach some of the wayward items. Oh SL how I love thee...

(My hubby thought this was a neat outfit. This is why I don't let him help pick out outfits. *shakes head*)
