That shirt! You know the one I mean. We all have one. The shirt we have owned since forever, that repeated washings and years of wear have softened the fabric to a perfect level of comfort. It is the adult equivalent of a blankie. A shirt that ends up in every load of laundry because after a hard day, we put it on the minute we get home, as though putting on a hug. We have forgotten to turn it inside out a few hundred times and the fabric is pilling and snags are visible here and there, but we don’t care. It is our favorite shirt and we will keep it until it falls apart on our body.
Whatever sizing and substance the fabric once held is gone. It conforms to our body like a second skin, a cozy, comfy, second skin that says “You’re good enough. You’re smart enough. And doggone it, people like you.” We have that shirt in our first lives, but now we can have it in our second as well, thanks to Vinyl’s Little Toast (sukoshitosuto) and any doubts whether this distress and well-worn look was not deliberate can be dispelled with a look at some of the other options on the texture hud.
Yup, that’s deliberate.
I paired it with some skinny cropped jeans from Tres Blah and lolled around on the new bench from Pilot at Collabor88. So, this bench is one of my favorite things ever! It’s a work of art and i am in love. I wish it had more poses, but there’s no reason we can’t use our own poses on a stand if we want, which is what I did.
I adore these shoes from Hucci for Collabor88. They are made to look deliberately hand-drawn, muck like a gown from Dior back in 2007 or 2008, the heavy black lines to make it look like a water color and ink sketch. That is what Eboni Khan did for these shoes and I love them. You can customize many things, the metal, the sole, the heel, the color of the outlining. They also have two watercolor print shoe fabric choices.
My hair and jewelry can also be found at Collabor88. The hair is from Lamb and my jewelry is from Yummy – and it is!!! The skin is Glam Affair’s Arctic using the Avril applier from Glam Affair on my Lelutka Stella head.
