An Ode to the System Skirt

Leave a reply

With all due apologies to Mrs. Browning:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My hem can reach, when looking out of sight
For the ends of Fashion and PXL’s Grace.
I love thee to the end of everyday’s

Sometimes when I see a dress that draws my eye, I realize that it is a twofer. What I mean is that it can be worn off the rack, so to speak, as a dress or it can be worn as separates, the skirt being worn with other tops, the bodice being worn with pants or a skirt.  Often when I decide to mix it up, I try a system skirt first because they often have higher waists and the blouse-waist transition is less problematic.

Spring Into Pink

Clio’s Blooming Flower dress was the perfect choice to pair with the real flower jewelry from Petal Meg. Spring is just popping up all around me, and I couldn’t resist the tulip inspired skirt that ornaments this festive dress.

And of course I had to add the hair from Elle F because you know. I gotta do that brand new thing! 🙂  It’s cute. Continue reading →

Cajsa Went Gonzo, I Went Showgirl

The Pearls and Amethyst Showgirl Costume from Reasonable Desires is possibly one of the nuttiest things I’ve ever put on. Great big huge flexi prims waving in the wind…..flipping and flopping as you move……

They’re sort of great. But then I wasn’t the one taking pictures, so love to Cajsa for sorting through it. When you are moving, though, vs trying to find a pose, you don’t really run into these issues quite so much.

Before you start shrieking about a seam on my neck, this is a body stocking. Yes, just like a REAL Vegas Showgirl wears if you’ve ever seen one. Continue reading →

Right Off The Rack

It’s fun to take a designers creations, especially when they are separates, and to really break them out – stretch how cool they can be, and show their versatility.

But sometimes, you just like the pieces the way the designer put them together at the shop.  I’m sure Zaara didn’t mean for these pieces to go together 100% of the time, but man, they are pretty together. Continue reading →

Keeping Warm

Keeping warm during these final days of winter is proving to be a joy as I work together pretties from various places.  This entire outfit started out with Digit Darkes VIPER Capris. Do you think Digit killed and skinned this viper herself? Continue reading →

Quick Look:Short and Sweetaholic

Posted by Gidge Uriza

I wore this shopping with Cajsa a week or so ago, and was truly the overdressed fashionista everywhere we went. But I knew it was my last chance to get it worn before the warm weather took over and I didn’t want to wear so much fur anymore.

Who knew? Who knew that there were Kimono’s with Tartans and urban-chic appeal? I had no clue. Until I spied this on the wall at Sweetaholic.

I love the mess of belts supplementing the normal waist – it really lends a modern edge to the dress.

Round Buttons

Leave a reply

Oh I do love the round buttons that trim this jacket from Zaara – a jacket I am sure you will see again and again as the truly well-made and flexible clothing items do get a lot of wear and air time. I decided to follow through on the theme of gold buttons – and chose the lovely necklace from Genesis that the green blouse from Zaara because of their gold buttons – but the piece that is the buttoniest of all is the pants from TOSL – the wonderful Sergeant Pepper pants. I have worn them before in another color – but this time I am grabbing the teal pants and yes, they work with that top.

Just Red

This outfit mixes a corset from Deadly Nightshade with a system skirt from Little Rebel. I love the system skirt – especially since I made myself a skirt shape to reduce the big booty bounty so common in the regular shape with a system skirt.  Little Rebel is the epicenter of system skirt magnificence and smart fashionistas will make an occasional foray there to ensure they have a a few of the highwaisted system skirts to mix and match with short tops and corsets.

Okay, this is probably bad form – blogging a freebie that is no longer available, but I wanted to highlight Neferia Abel’s generosity as well as show you how simple accessories like a belt and a shrug can change your look.  This was a fairly vampish sheath, but with the shrug, the sleeveless vamp quality is dialed down and the modishness is dialed up. You see, any freebie from Neferia is just as well-made as her regular items and could just as easily be on the wall with all the other items for sale. Not only that, but she she has given an item a day during Christmas Advent season – this particular dress was an Advent present from 2007.  Her group members often get one free color of her new releases (or they did when I was still a group member) I had to drop the group a while back because of space issues, but still remember rushing to get the free color and perhaps one or two other shades when a new dress came out.

Sn@tch It Up!

posted by Gidge Uriza

When the big stores have their wonderful, huge markdown sales, I always like to take advantage of stocking up on basics. Sn@tch is one of my favorite stores for picking up different things that make great additions to any outfit. I can’t believe, however, that I had never noticed this sweater, scarf comb that I picked up during their L$50 sale. Nutty! Continue reading →
