I'm Blue By You.

I've got a thing for soft, pastel blue and when I spotted this ultra feminine mesh top at VoguE, knew I had to style it.  It shows off the girls to stunning effect and the delicate lace just sits off the body creating such a realistic look.

The bracelets are from Glow Studio...I have to give a huge, big thank you hug to Joselyn Anatine from Glow Studio for consistently making the most amazing accessories around.  Her immense contributions to my wardrobe over the years are greatly appreciated.   

 
I do think I must be the most stupid blogger around and here's why.  It was only completing this post that I used Marketplace to find me a bag.  I'm embarrassed to say it, but I always shopped by flitting around here and there wasting so much time.  A light bulb went off and I thought use Marketplace you stupid blond and I typed in 'bag'.  After a few pages I found exactly what I wanted...this little stunner called 'Scout Boho Bag' from Ison.  DUH.  While I do love getting around and seeing all the shops, this revelation is going to speed things up a lot.  Why did I just figure this out?

  
These mesh pants are lovely from Little Petits Details called 'Sela Jeans' in light blue.  Loving the waist treatment and wide floaty legs.

The hair I purchased from 'Hair Fair 2013' from Exile called 'Time and Sound' shown in light blond.  Beautifully simple and just drapes the shoulders.

Now I'm ever so confused about these gorgeous GOS heels called 'Eva Slingbacks' from the Baby Collection that I purchased on the 3rd of July from one of the designers events...I just can't think where.  I would swear they came in baby pink and blue but I can only find the pink in my inventory.  Does anyone remember them and did you have to buy the blue seperately?  I thought I was purchasing both the blue and pink...Gawd my memory is failing me darlings.  Regardless, these are scrummy gorgeous.

The photo's are taken at The Flowout.  Somewhere (oh my fading memory) I picked up a folder with some great LM's for picture taking.  Hit me up in-world if you want a copy of it.

I'm A Swinger.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having trouble finding non-mesh items to layer under mesh items.  I traveled far and wide merely looking for a nice under shirt or T for this outfit and gave up visiting Tram where I knew they had some nice non-mesh tops to go under the gorgeous mesh shirt from TokiD.  Please don't stop making non-mesh tops that hug the body so we can add layers.  I'm sure they're out there but I think I went to 15 shops before I returned to Tram remembering they had some lovely T's in different colors to match with the skirt.

Anyway, here is a sweet, bright look I've put together and I love the result.

I found this hair from Exile in my inventory called 'Crush' in the Vanilla color.  I purchased another hair from Exile called 'Wide Awake' which I loved but being mesh, no matter what I did in reducing my head size and wearing the alpha layers, the part in the hair was gaping and I had to send it to my trash folder.  Exile make such excellent hair however, that one little issue with hair not fitting my head is no big thing.  'Crush' came with a sweet headband and hud where you can change color combinations and I was thrilled to find a complimentary color for the floral shirt.

The skirt is called 'Horizon Mini' from Boom and fits so well.  I have to admit that mesh skirts have opened up a whole new world when compared with the old skirts with a prim part between the legs that often moved and didn't fit well.  The bag I picked up at Malt for an absolute steal and is really fabulous.

It's not often you find small clasped earrings and I purchased these at Je Suis.  Perfect for long hair as they don't get lost.  The necklace is part of a wider jewellery set called 'Isis Solar Magic' from Maxi Gossamer and comes in either gold or silver with color change stones.  Looks amazing on and one of my favorite purchases of late.  Bracelets are from Je Suis (color change) and the ring is called 'Ketema' also from Maxi Gossamer.

No I haven't forgotten you my darling Maitraya Gold's.  You will always have my heart and here are a pair from their collection called 'Allegre' in Red.  They never, ever disappoint.  How about a shoe called Maitreya Gold Chalice????  Sounds good?  Yes I know, I'm a name whore.  I want everything named after ME!

Chalice In Wonderland: Good Golly Miss Molly It's Exile Hair

I hear ya, I hear ya.  The topic of us blogging multiple items at once has been raised and I do agree that it can get a bit much when new things come out and everyone rushes to profile it.  But on the other hand I do like to see the different interpretations of the same thing.  It's something that can't really be monitored and I'm about to break it anyway BECAUSE I really love this new style from Exile and I saw it blogged earlier.  I guess I just wanted to add my 2L's worth in saying  the Molly style is just so lovely.  It's feminine, girly and the curls and wispy bits are just perfect. 

I admit I haven't been an Exile hair devotee, why I don't know, but that's now changed.  This hair is seriously well constructed and apart from lifting it a tad, needed no tweaking.  Created by Kavar Cleanslate, I wanted to say I've been looking for Molly all my SL.  Exile is found at Covet, a really lovely sim that has some great photography spots around it.   My head pics were taken on the boat out the front of the shop.
