#410 Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real

....., and you're just a reflection of him? - Bill Watterson

Today's post features items from two events - Fashion Limited which is open now and WearHouse, which opens on the 13th.  My fun umbrella prop, rain and decking are all from TreiZe exclusively at Fashion Limited - in the pack you also get sea and spray props.  

My dress from Masoom is for WearHouse and is available in the three shades shown.  It comes in standard sizing only but I had no issues with my Maitreya Lara, just a few alpha tweaks required.  These dresses are so pretty, with the cut out detailing on the front and the ombre style shading highlighted by the piping which has delicate colours running through it. 

My shoes from KC Couture are brand new and compatible with TMP, Slink, Belleza and Maitreya, and come with their usual comprehensive hud allowing each part of the shoe to be customised separately.

Gowns are like buses...................

.......I don't do a gown post for months and then suddenly do two within a few days.... but how could I resist!

I built this outfit round the stunning necklace (if ever a necklace is worthy of the accolade "statement piece", this is it) and earrings, two of Maxi Gossamer's items at  the current Collabor88.  .As almost always with Maxi's pieces, these are colour change, but I had seen the gown around the same time so decided to go with the gold.  

The [[ Masoom ]] gown is  for sale at the Singer Icon Fair and is available in a further four colour options, and includes a lola applier. The fullness of the skirt is created by two mesh attachments, something I have not seen before on a gown, and they certainly do help the gown to flow beautifully, appearing to be of a part of the gown, which can't be said of many flexi attachments.

Ten Linden goodies at The Wash

“Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don't feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn"  Marilyn Monroe

You can find these two lovely dresses, along with many others, for 10L each on Masoom's cart at The Wash Cart Sale. The dress is mesh, with two flexi attachments at the bottom to give the dress movement.  The detailing on the dress itself is beautiful, and the flexi parts fit perfectly.

Old Style Glamour

““There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.” ― Steve Maraboli

This gorgeous dress is the limited edition from Masoom for The 24 event, which starts on August 23rd.  All items at this event are limited to just 100, so you will need to be quick to snap this dress up.  I love the old style glamour, the side split, the brocade edging.  I have included a back view so you can see how the brocade is carried along the back of the gown.

I tried, I really tried

"Nothing is worth more than this day."

Johann von Goethe

......to do a mesh-free outfit, but just can't do without my mesh hands.  

I based this almost mesh free look around Massoom's lovely 55L Thursday dress, which is still out in the shop.  I even managed to wear non mesh hair and jewellery.

Despite my love of mesh, I do still love flexis for dancing, and I tried to show the movement of the dress here, something which mesh just can't compare with. 

It was fun trying to put together a non-mesh outfit but in reality, I can't see myself buying much non-mesh at all in the future.
