I love the high fashion style of this black and white striped dress with the big shoulder epaulettes from InMonster for Fashion For Life. I prefer clothes that don’t make the alpha go all the way to the edges, it make shots from anything but a straight angle difficult. Of course, many designers do alphas right to the edge because shoppers get irritated at having to tweak the slide even one notch. For me, I would rather tweak that notch and not have little gaps. There are none showing, but from the back, if you are at the wrong angle, you see the yawning emptiness of alpha along the very bottom of the dress. Still, I love its style and it looks good from most angles. I love how the sleeve stripes go the opposite of the dress stripes.
Who knows where the time goes? Take today for example, it’s 4:30 and all I have accomplished is shooting these blog pics. I have not even done my Fast Five yet. Where did it go? To chatting on plurk, browsing the news, reading about the new Pope and other dithering. Speaking of time going, Fashion For Life is halfway through, so it’s time to make an effort to go there and help support American Cancer Society. In the fight against cancer, the time goes far too fast.
Across the morning sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it’s time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, we’ll still be dreaming
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
I added shoes from Bliensen & MaiTai that are also from Fashion For Life.
The details are what make these Bliensen & MaiTai shoes stand out. You can find them at Fashion For Life in all sorts of colors.
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it’s time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
The necklaces are from Maxi Gossamer. The feather earrings are from Persefona. I think they are adorable, but they are no mod and on full bright. This would be more problematic, but they were only 33 lindens on Marketplace. I hope, however, that jewelers soon turn off full bright in the default and use scripts to leave that option up to us. This shot shows the big difficulty with stripes – sometimes they don’t line up. Of course, this happens in real life, too. Having struggled with stripes in RL, I am more forgiving then most. I love the dress and the seam is a small issue for me.
And I am not alone while my love is near me
And I know it will be so ’til it’s time to go
So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?
The hair is from Truth’s new release. Drawing the hair to one side made it perfect for this piece from a set of Swan accessories from Feel for Fashion For Life. The skin is from Swallow at The Arcade.
