The Joys of Simplicity

I've had the R&B, slow jams stream going at my house now for several days...something about the smooth, sweet tones just makes me feel better when I'm sick. And, not surprisingly, it sparks a sort of mellow mood in me, when it comes to wardrobe. So, today I decided to stick to the basics - black and white, simple, sophisticated. Something that screams femininity while not compromising strength.

So, I started with this adorable black and white babydoll by Armidi Gisaci and paired it with a wonderful, and very flexible shrug borrowed from the Alizee ensemble by Last Call. Now, there may not really be weather in Second Life, but my wardrobe here tends to take after the weather in my first life, so I just had to toss in some leggings! Nothing is cute about goosebumps all over your legs! I decided on this simple, comfy pair of cropped, tie-bottom leggings from Boing Fromage. When it came to shoes, I didn't even have to think! Nothing was better for this ensemble than my gingham checked mary janes from Digit Darkes. The style of the strap, leading to the toe of this shoe mimicks the pattern of white against black on the top of the dress, tying the whole ensemble together flawlessly! I threw in a few of my favorite accessories to spice things up a bit, and voila!

I am woman, hear me roar!
