ZZ has the blues

"It is never too late to be what you might have been"

George Elliot

She doesn't really have the blues, she just wanted to wear some lovely blue items from the current collection at The Dressing Room Fusion.  The top and skirt come from different designers but I thought they went great together.

The texturing on this top from Baiastice is beautifully done and very realistic

The skirt is mesh, but I have no idea how it works - there is just one size, but it fits perfectly.  It is not listed as liquid mesh, but whatever it is, it worked great

The post with no name (because the mess in my invo stole it)

"Love teaches even asses to dance"

French proverb

Every week I find my way to LIV-Glam at some point to see what their offers are - thankfully they keep them up all week, so it is rarely a case of "too late".  Here I am wearing Stacy which was 49L for Secret Wednesday.  There are 6 different colours of flower hem via the HUD system of which I am so enamoured (anything that stops invo clutter has to be a good thing).

The  hair I have on is new from Tameless, and is also operated via HUD, yay!  I was so pleased when I saw this style as it is completely different to any style I have in my invo, and I have a LOT of hair!  The headband is texture change, and I love the three plaits and the wispy strands at the side of the face.

Finally, I just had to show you this quirky Vintage DJ ring I found from [MAGIC NOOK] at the Dressing Room Fusion.

Popping Turquoise

"It is not the eyes of others that I am wary of, but my own"

Noel Coward

I was so determined not to buy any more hair following the retirement sale at Truth, but honestly, how is a girl to resist something as cute as this?  

This pretty dress cost just 99L and it fits like a dream, no shape tweaking whatsoever required.  I wanted a pop of colour to mirror the turquoise of the flower in the dress and picked up this great bracelet at The Dressing Room Fusion.  It also comes in a gold option.  I teamed it with this fab texture change ring from Maxi Gossamer at Fameshed  along with her Copacetic earrings from a previous round of Collabor88.

The Dressing Room & Gacha Event

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step"

Chinese Proverb

I am showing a close up of the Belleza Elle skin from the latest Gacha event, because it is so pretty that it warrants a close up :).  I am limited to how many "goes" I can have on the gachas, but I was happy to have landed this one my first go, as it is so natural looking, and I have plenty of make-up if I want to jazz it up a bit :)..

This lovely maxi dress is from DRIFT for The Dressing Room, and I particularly like that the top and skirt are separate, so if, like mine, your avvie does not fit any of the "standard" sizes, you can mix and match the sizes.

The lovely necklace and bangle are from a previous round of Collabor88 - if I do nothing else when there is a new round, i head right for the Maxi Gossamer section, because the quality is amazing, and I love the texture change facility.  In fact, Collabor88 introduced me to MG, which is one of the reasons I love these events, finding new designers.

ZZ is wearing:

Dress:  DRIFT for TDR - Zoe Maxidress, Romance
