#448 Floating away on a tulle cloud

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of  its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength - Charles Spurgeon

I am a huge lover of vintage clothing, particularly 50's, so on my first sl incarnation, almost 9 years ago, I searched the grid for months for some kind of 50's style circular skirt outfit.  I eventually found a couple - they weren't great but I still had fun dancing in the pretty flexis.

I am still drawn to vintage styling in sl, so I was thrilled when I saw this dress from Sakide at the Frost Fair.  It isn't actually a dress, it is a skirt and matching top, and comes in 6 gorgeous colours but as mine was the fatpack I have shown a few different mix and match options.  I totally love that frilly underskirt!  The delicate snowflake texture is really lovely, and the outfit itself just feels fresh, pretty and classy.

Each dress comes with a matching pair of shoes, but I have worn one of Baby Monkey's recent releases instead (admission time - this is because I didn't notice the shoes in the box till I had already taken the photos!).  My skin is one of the beautiful gifts in the 7 Deadly Skins group advent.

#287 Choo Choo!

This fabulous outfit from Leri Miles Designs is available at the current round of My Attic at the Deck in a selection of great colour combinations.  I very rarely wear navy in any life, but I really loved this combination of navy with aqua accents.  

My skybox is a rare gacha prize from Potpourri Designs at The Frost Fair, which runs until 28th December. It is the "Winter Day Simple 5 Prim Skybox".  The gacha is 50L a pull, with lots of goodies which I am hoping I will be able to show more of in another post.  

My Christmas tree is from the Persnickity Christmas Shoppe - it dispenses presents, and the train goes round the track (not telling how long I watched it, kinda hypnotic :).  The owner of Persnickity, Pet, is one of the nicest people on the grid, and if you have not yet visited her lovely shop you really should, particularly if you love shabby chic like I do.

These heels look pretty lethal dont they?  They come with Rowena Spingflower's usual generous hud system, which gives 12 choices for shoe, sole and accent, and 4 for the hardwear.  I love the name of the nail appliers from *pulcino*, Summer Snow - the hud gives you a choice of 10 similarly pretty textures
