Willowing the day away

Sasy Scarborough - Willowing the day away

This new skin by Nuve is called Willow, she even has matching brows, and they are a nice change from my usual – still a Noah brows fan for life though. It got me to thinking about the meaning of Willow in Second Life history. It kind of became a word to mean abundance, and a shorter way of saying, you want it all, those that know, know. For those that do not, once upon a time, there was an avatar called Willow Zander, and she was very influential, so influential that she pretty much created the concept of the ‘fatpack’ and Elika actually named her fatpack of hair for her store Willow Packs. Willow used to Blog and had her own store at one point, but she was very much a part of the “Quad’ and all that entailed back in the day. So doing a post featuring some incredible pants by Elikatira with a skin on called Willow just seemed perfect.

Speaking of these trousers, I have mentioned recently that I am smitten by creators that are doing both high and flat versions of their pants legs hemlines, this makes for really versatile clothing, and these trousers look fantastic in both. They also have a belt on or off option, with metals and leather colours to choose from, but the pinstripe without belt won me over first of all, while you get a few pinstripe versions the solids are stunners also, these pants are fantastic, and I cannot wait for more.

I grabbed this great tank top by Rowne over the weekend, and just loved the way the neck area becomes a string tie kind of look, very stylish but with a punk leaning, that was why I just had to layer it over a bakes on mesh t-shirt of old. Really old actually it was part of a set that contains sculpted skirt pieces, but it was just perfect to layer with. So look in your inventory for bakes on mesh layers – just means system layers – clothing you may have from days of old, and see what you can do with them to punch up your look.

It created such an edgy corporate look in my opinion, and the hairstyle by Monso just brought it all home, with two bangs options to add, this razor asymmetrical look was just the perfect finish. It also allowed me to show off my Sigma earrings, with the tucked behind the ear look of the hair.
