Hello Chaps
I was imagining myself moving to the country, owning a farm. I would be like Eva Gabor in Green Acres…I am such a city person, but I would try and I would love the animals, but I would definitely not have the clothing for country life, so with that in mind I created this look, the idea that super stylish chaps, made for a whole other lifestyle, would be the closest thing to working the land wear I could muster. They even have these perfect high fold bottoms which I love, so that I am not dragging them through mud, and can still let people see a peek of my fabulous heels. The stitch work is also phenomenal, but it is that you can change the upper chaps from the under jeans colours that really made me squeal like a piglet. How cool is that, they look so fabulous, and Rowne does fantastic denim.
I love when looks like that come together so effortlessly, you put one item on and then it just grows from that, and nothing is better when pieces from different brands just seem made for each other, such as the case with the gorgeous shrug by Cynful. This is part of a set, but I do so love to break things up, and get more wear out of items. This shrug fit perfectly over the bandeau style bra top also from Rowne, and the options are next level as well. For a start, you have the ombre look or solid, which is just some kind of hud scripted mastery. That ombre look, which is not usually a go to for me, was stunning with the chaps, because the colour combination already settled on, happened to be the ombre colour for the navy, and I was/am stoked. I also love that the sleeves look as though they are leathered due to lighting, it is the same texture all over, but because of the ombre fade it just gives off a texture combination that really also works.
The next step was easy, Hair, and Hat Hair no less, you know I do love that. Twin is such a fun braided style, with options for left or right forward and behind shoulder options. The hat is stylish and floppy and fun, so natural in its reality of being worn well and often. I hope Lamb does more hat hairs in future, she has been making great add on components lately.
Not a hard think when wanting to give it more of a farmy feel, than searching your inventory for Jian, because like many, I have a menagerie of adorable animals from there, and these piglets are so much that. These were/are gacha versions, but the holdable one is just too cute. It is another thing I love about Second Life, you can hold an animal, rez them all around you and actually feel that contentment that you may not be able to have in RL. You can just bliss out. Big thanks to all the Second Life creators that give us that ability.
