I am a city girl, and I am staying that way. Lately I have seen a lot of very casual releases from stores, like so casual it has been stressing me out. Is it trend ? is it what is being seen in fashion mags, or T.V ? or is it just simply just that people have given up on dressing up ?

I have literally sat on my bed RL in tears on a sunday morning around the mid 90′s , because I have realised I don’t have a damn thing to wear to a christening. All of my clothing was going out wear, or business/work attire, I just didn’t do day time – I was usually not awake – that day after sending my boyfriend (then) around the bend, had to resort to mums wardrobe for at least a dressy shirty/sweatery thing of some kind that wasn’t black.

Don’t get me wrong, I like jeans and shirts and items of that kind in SL too, but we seem to have them coming from all directions. They are nice to throw on once in a while, but they will never be an only choice for me.

Second Life gives us the chance to wear things we wouldn’t wear – such as fantasy or RP, or just full on high fashion pieces – everyday, but it also allows us the chance to show off our own fashion sense, and seriously the leaning towards ubercasual is starting to really concern me. I want more frou frou dresses, I want girly fabrics and trims, and things that go swoooooosh when I walk.

I want big hats, and pretty make up…I want, I want, I want, I wannnnnnt – laughs so hard, if you have ever seen the movie Threesome you will remember that awesome break down Lara had lol.

Anyway, rambling aside…today I wanted to dress it up, both dressy going out, and dressy day time casual. No christenings, but the second look would totally be how I would dress for a daytime activity, especially with all the upcoming summery events.

Both looks are just beautiful to wear, a mix of older pieces and much newer… I am featuring skin by Uzuri, that has a beautiful hair base, so nice in fact that in the first pic I went with it alone. In the second I went with one of the hair base hairstyles from LAQ.
