I feel dotty, oh so dotty
I feel dotty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight!
Well, it’s not a perfect fit for the I Feel Pretty lyrics, but this Princess Dotty dress from Modern Gypsy is definitely dotty, witty and bright, so why not? It’s certainly a fun way of looking at it.
This outfit is all about the pants – even though with the high boots you only see a bit of them, that bit is enough because these are Pants of Power. Well, actually, I just made that part up. Still the new Graphic Skinny Pants from Modern Gypsy are cool enough and simultaneously hot enough to turn heads 360 degrees – so that makes them Pants of Power in my book.
They just wanna, they just wanna, girls just wanna have fun. This new dress from SD Wears is called Make Me Smile. Released in several colors, I am wearing the 80’s print version of the dress – an explosion of color and fun. With it, I wore the new skin Mei Li from Adam n Eve and just had to lead with the close up. I just had to lead with the closeup this time because I thought the face was just too cute for you to miss if you don’t click through. Mei Li is an Asian skin which you can see from the skin tone – the face, though, adapts well to my shape and I really liked the effect with the short bob from eha.
Casual comfort can be as chic as anything – particularly when you use neutral colors that provide understated elegance to nearly every occasion or when you use luxurious textiles that just make you feel good. The neutral brown and beige can be a respite of calm for your eyes among all rainbow colors of spring fashions. The real luxury, though, comes from the use of cashmere, that fabric that makes you feel like your being hugged by nature. Both the sweater and leggings are from Fishy Strawberry and are great investment separates. The bit of embellishment on the sweater is just a bonus that can help you choose accessories and makeup options.
There are some statement jackets in Modern Gypsy’s Fashion Monster collection. For example, this jacket from the Zhora pants outfit is an amazing piece of construction with shoulders that could conquer the universe if they set themselves to the task. Coincidentally, Newreem Waffles styled the same two jackets in her blog today, too – in a very different way, demonstrating how versatile these jackets are.
The jacket that comes with the powerful Hecate leather dress makes and equally strong statement – one of surprise and delight at seeing such a jacket chosen for such a noir dress. After all, when you hear black leather dress, a houndstooth wool jacket is not what pops into mind, but then Hecate is a dress of surprises.
Maleficent from the Fashion Monster Collection by Micah Kanto for Modern Gypsy
I know I have been featuring a lot of Modern Gypsy lately, but I think it’s clear by now that we are guided more by our tastes and whims than anything else. I love fashion that is fierce and uncompromising – that takes risks, that is sometimes outlandish. I love the avant garde, design that pushes the boundaries of form and function, but not the boundaries of taste.

Modern Gypsy is all that. Micah makes beautiful gowns and dresses. However, some of Micah’s collection is more than clothing, some are sculptures. You can see that quite clearly in these two very stylized pieces.
Chance Greatrex of DARE sent me some poses as a lovely Christmas present – a new set called White. I asked his inspiration and he said the poses were inspired by the color white – that he wanted a couture elegance that was clean and high fashion. That’s from memory, so it’s just a paraphrase. I thought the poses certainly achieved his goal. However, I was wearing this at the time and informed him that his poses work perfectly with red and black as well.
Sometimes you don’t want to look elegant, you just want to look hawt! This little mini dress from EXiA will certainly accomplish that.
It’s that time of year when comfy, cozy warm clothing trumps just about anything. The rainy, gloomy outdoor weather out my window has me reaching for warmth in RL and in SL. Today I went with the lovely corduroy skirt from Sn@tch and a sweater from Naima.
J’s Thigh High Boots are one of those can’t live without releases that just explode across the grid and everyone has them, wears them and looks rocking hot in them. Now, am not long enough in-world to actually remember the era when system boots were de riguer, but I have seen a few people call these old-school boots and if by old-school they mean high boots that fit, don’t bork when you walk and look hotter than cobra chili, well, give me old school. With it, I wore the lovely skirt and jacket from Doux Petit Dahl with a gorgeous mustard colored skirt that is made for fall. The off the shoulder jacket is delectable, though it did present some challenges in finding something to wear under it. Yes, I know, I could have worn nothing under it if I were not me.
