Urban Casual Fedora

The weekend is a perfect time to spend with friends exploring all the city has to offer and with this outfit, you can do so in style.  For today's outfit, I took the classic fedora and incorporated it in a more modern, casual look.

Please enjoy today's outfit and, as always, please let me know what you think in the comments section.

 

Let me begin by saying that I am absolutely in love with this skin.  It was the entry from Perfectionist for the Just for the Guys Hunt 2009 and shows that it pays to complete the clothing hunts.  When I saw this, I knew that I had to build an outfit around it.  It has an 8-pack with the hint of side packs as well, perfect for showing off your tattoos. 

Speaking of tattoos, Jessie Aitui from AITUI, in my opinion, has some of the best tattoos in Second Life.  I love his attention to detail and that he also gives multiple variations in the same pack.  One of his other tattoos I have came with a 'fresh ink' and an 'old ink' version.  You definitely get what you pay for, and then some.

If there are other tattoo places you like, please let me know in the comments section and you may see them on future posts in this blog.

The rolled legs on the jeans, combined with the emo, anime t-shirt, seem to suggest a more upmarket, trendy look.  When combined with the double belt to accentuate the waist and the grungy sneakers, the outfit comes together. 

Note that the fedora, belt and shoes all are variations on the black and white theme.  The fedora started to become popular in the 1920s and, if there are any movie buffs reading, this is also the last decade that movies were only made in black and white.  By the 1930s a few color films started being produced.  This color scheme pays quiet homage to that by-gone era and helps balance the look of the outfit from top to bottom.   I have also added a steakpunk-esque style watch to offset the belt so that it would balance side to side.

Purely by accident, I stumbled upon BUKKA and was in pure amazement at the quality of products on offer.  The watch chosen for today's outfit has hands that actually move to show Second Life Time (SLT) so you are never late to that event at your favorite club and each of the pieces are made from sculpted prims for a more realistic look.  I bought several items here which may be used in future posts.

I am sure you can achieve this same type of look using outfits you already have in your inventory.  Mix and match from several outfits and see how you look. The key is to just have fun!   ^^)v

セクシー悪魔 / Sexy Devilkin

Yes, I admit it -- I have my own unique fashion sense as presented in this outfit, but then again, this isn't your normal fashion blog either.  Sometimes, my outfits reflect a mood I want to portray or for a costume contest, but for the most part I just like to dress up and look cute.  Who needs a reason for that?

Today, I chose the theme of "red" and the first thing that popped into my mind was a devil or demon.  I did not want to make what most people think a devil or demon should look like, which is why I chose not to include a tail and pitchfork for this post.  Besides, what is scarier than pure evil with an innocent face?  That's part of the fun, though.

Please enjoy today's outfit:

Surprisingly, the jacket and pants come from two separate designers, but with the delicate filigree work, it appears that it could have come as one outfit.  The  intricate design on the pants, to me, almost suggests music notes, which is why I really like it.  In the spirit of full disclosure, the boots pictured from Lassitude & Ennui are an older design that I had purchased years ago, but when I visited the store for this post, it appears that they are selling an updated version that looked absolutely beautiful.  This outfit is rounded out with a double belt and low hanging pentacle necklace.

Blog Update

こんにちは！ /  Konnichi wa!

Yes, I am still alive but I have been out of the country visiting Thailand and did not really have access to the internet.  I was wanting to show my take on a Na'vi from the movie Avatar but the skin I was using had some copyright issues and was being reworked.  As that particular skin was breaking copyright and was going to be reworked anyways, I decided to wait until the new version was out to repost.

Thank you for still supporting me in my absence and I hope to resume posting again here shortly.

Until next time,
