The latest challenge–staying warm

Here in the “glamorous” Midwest winter has its icy grip. Even my home in SL is a Great Lakes wonderland and is quite chilly. So staying warm in both worlds is a bit of a challenge for me.

To help stay warm and cute, Gypsy Soul’s new Wine release is an outfit made up of a deep purple soft cotton long-sleeve undershirt decorated with delicate wild flowers. Paired up with an adorable wine-colored soft jumper that’s hem and neckline are punctuated with purple embroidery. Gypsy Soul knows how to stretch a fashionita’s budget by not only including pieces on each layer, but also including a beautiful soft scarf and gray patterned tights.

(Style note: If you have a size 50 head, you might have to re-arrange some of the prims on 69’s hair. Not a big deal to do, but just so you know.)

Savvy Avvy – Chesstress Coat

I can’t get over how chic and versatile this teal coat from Savvy Avyy is. For $350L it includes a jacket layer with or without the belt as well as the hoody and cuffs with or without fur. The last picture in the series shows it without the belt and sans white fur. The texture is very woolly and soft that it makes me want to nestle down in it and brace myself against the cold winds in my sim. It’s still snowing!

I’ve paired it with white metallic tights from Armidi, sculptie black leather boots from Redgrave, and <3 Cupcake’s versatile white lacy shirt, but the star of this outfit is still the Chesstress coat. Who says you can’t wear white in the winter?!

Also, I’m highlighting a new skin from RaC. Shown in Lucia 05. I cringed when I hit the “Buy” button and plunked down $4,000L, but dang, sister, you get 6 different looks. Although some would argue that only the lips change, but still, this skin is magnificent, in my opinion. I especially adore the nude matte lips in the Lucia series. While I was at RaC going broke, I had to check out their hair and wasn’t disappointed. I’m having a hard time taking off the Biscuit style.

Rocky Mountain High

It’s officially winter in my Sim. There is snow on the ground and it’s snowing like mad. This midwestern girl loves it, so I feel the need to dress appropriately. I found the cutest and the most practical little puffy ski vest from Liquid Velvet Studios (LVS). Ravenlynn offers it for both guys and girls in 5 great colors, including black. I adore the “fairway green,” as I like to call it, that’s pictured. It’s called the Colorado Puff Vest. It comes in both a long version and a shorter version. The long is shown here. The vest are a little hard to find in the store because they’re in a wall vendor coupled with men’s things. Here are the coordinates: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cassiopeia Isle/176/5/22/ LVS &CO, Cassiopeia Isle. That should plunk you right down in front of it.

I’ve paired it up with Armidi’s yummy cashmere turtleneck in black. Actually I think the sweater was meant for men, but they’re perfect and looks deliciously soft as you can expect. I’m also wearing Armidi jeans in industrial. They are the capris, which come with the jeans. To finish are the cute faux Uggs called Ughs from Jeepers Creepers in charcoal and a pair of knee socks from Shiny Things just cause my capris were a touch too short.
