Gogo’s Newbie Style Challenge ends today. I would have fared better if SL had not been so crashtastic yesterday. However, I did manage to put together a few looks that work.  This one cost 1L for the hair, all the rest was free. The top comes from Orage Creations and is part of a top and skirt set. I opted for the capris, one of a blue and black fatpack free from Uzuri. The boots are from N-Core and require joining the group for free. The boots can be changed from black to red or white with the click of your mouse. You can also choose multiple colors for the warmers or not wear them at all.

I turned off the warmers and put on a different top for a less edgy look. This top is one of several colors in a fatpack from Uzuri. Fair warning, I got logged out every single time I tried teleporting with these boots on. Every single time!

Here’s where I spent my single linden on this look – the 1L for the Crazy Hair from Orage Creations. The skin is part of a free group gift at ORTA for the grand opening and is from Lelutka – one of the Lola skins. I was tempted to do the whole outfit from ORTA because it’s darling, but thought that was too easy. The necklace is a freebie from EarthStones. I certainly could have found earrings, but I was in a bad mood from being logged out so many times before I figured out what was happening.

Now, could I get a high fashion look for under 20L? Certainly, this one is an 11L total cost, starting with 10L for the Kashmir Connection dress from The Niven Collection.

The gorgeous Kurvy Ruby Slippers are free from Nardcotix.

The Summer Hair is 1L from Orage Creations and the skin is Tuli’s new Jade that is free through today at ICoN. You do not have to turn on your group tag to pick it up, so you need not join the group, keeping the cost in bounds.  The eyes from both outfits are from Shine – stunning samples of her gorgeous eye collections.

I probably would have done more outfits – but it was too expensive. I kept finding fabulous outfits that I wanted to buy while hunting freebies.
