52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Indigo

This week's challenge was tough for me!  I LOOOOOOOOOVE this color but realized that I had so little in my inventory.  I knew I wanted to feature the extra gift I'd made for the last Twisted Hunt - the bird cage hat with exploding feathers.  I was calling it "blurple" because that's just the only thing I could think of for a color name.  It's now available inside my store and while not free, is still priced pretty reasonably.
Since this my freebie blog, I wanted to feature a freebie or two...makes sense, right?  I was able to find this indigo cut out swimsuit on marketplace and everything fell together.
(forgive me that I'm on a laptop & can't jack up the settings enough to get the actual new, cool shadows of sl!)

On with the credits:

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Coral Week 2

For this week's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge  the color was coral.  I'm not a big pastel color wearer in either lives--funny how my first life carries over into my second so much.  I scoured my inventory for coral and found only one item that was coral.  Now, I know that should've triggered me to start shopping, but I wanted to push a little further.  So I searched "blush" and "peach" because those colors are somewhat close depending upon your eye (and the designer's).  I didn't find any more clothing items so I decided this would be a headshot.


Back in my "old" real life photography days, we would've said the lights are too hot, but I don't care, I kind of like the effect.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Champagne. Week 1 = disaster

Okay, so I thought I'd join in on Luna Jubilee's 52 weeks of color blogging challenge.  Since I didn't do it last year I may as well bust it out for this year.  Well, my first (late) week into it and I've already turned a fashion blog into a disaster.
You see, I pulled up all the champagne key words in my inventory and it took me to my all-time favorite designer, Digit Darkes' timeless dress, Barely in Champagne, which made me miss her all the more since she was a great friend & is no longer in-world and we keep playing phone tag.  This led me to plunk on my champagne colored wig from Exile - Samara and in my deep sorrow of missing my friend, the champagne glasses in my inventory  just weren't  enough...nooooooooooo!  I had to drown my sorrows with a champagne bottle, Asti (no less!) from  Medhue Animations (pay attention to the attractive hiccups and stumbling).
Since all good parties end in the kitchen, I felt it only appropriate to take evidence-er...pictures here.
  What was to be so fashion photo shoot turned into disaster.  Ever have one of those nights?  Yeah, I knew you had.

**I think it's the one eye with the astigmatism that always seems to squint when I get drunk.  That's the tell that I've had too much!
