This Fall

Hello Ladies! This is just going to be a post about the trends this fall in mainstream fashion and how they are crossing over into sl gor this year. First up is a big trend in scarfs and shawls that has been coming along for the past few months and is now catching on big time. Thanks to sculpties we can now have more realistic scarfs and shawls that aren't bulky and over sized. When this trend started only a few designers made them, but now you can pretty much get a scarf or shawl at any mainstream store. Even some Gorean designers are making dresses with sculptie scarfs and shawls now. I would recommend you always get one in black and one in your caste color.



Over sized necklaces will definitely be making their mark this season. My three favorite jewelry designers are Dona Flora, Swallowtail and Paper Couture. Dona Flora has made a reputation of giving her customers quality, realism and detail in every piece of jewelry she sells. Her diamonds are my absolute favorite.


Swallowtail brings together the imagination and finely crafted jewelry. Her store is a candy shop for women, everything is just absolutely beautiful. You will want to buy everything you see! Definitely take a look at this designer.

Paper Couture has the ability of bringing out the diva in everyone. Just stop by the store, and I promise you, you'll want to go on a shopping spree. This is one of their lesser known pieces (usually we see her huge Tumble Stone necklace), but even in its simplicity it is eye catching. Drawing eyes directly to it on almost every outfit its seen on.





The next noticeable trend coming over into Gor is mixing and recycling. It seems the economy is causing women to rethink buying expensive dresses and just focusing on accessories and re eventing the dresses they have. Now I was a bit skeptical, because I have a lot dresses, but I didn't think I would be able to mix and match them like many of the mainstream bloggers are doing. Never underestimate Margie!


Layer, layer, layer Ladies!!! I put a vest over the ruffled shirt and a belt over that. I believe that this is one of the most simple outfits to put together because it is just a shirt and skirt with layers over it. Take the skirt bottoms of your old dresses and just reuse them. Button up shirts are so cheap in sl its crazy. Use slexchange!!! Vest, are also cheap and easy to come by. You saved so much on the outfit you can probably splurge on jewels (OK we all know Margie can't save). Scarfs are a cheap and colorful addition to a shirt and vest set.

The important thing about this trend I believe is your ability to tint or recolor skirts. To darken the color or lighten it. The outfit shown above in red, I darkened the skirt slightly in order for it to flow with the poncho. It takes a bit of work, but I believe it is worth it.

I never get rid of anything, I just have a storage dress folder. Once something goes out of style it goes into the folder, because sometimes it does come back in (or I'm just a pack rat). I was able to re-event and update a few outfits using the layering and shading methods. I only spent 600L on vest, shirts and scarfs, updating 10 outfits that were just never going to comeback into style. Considering buying 10 whole outfits would cost you anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000L I think I did good. Who says I can't bargain shop! *Looks down the street and spots her favorite jewelry shop* Um...well I have to go now, but remember Ladies anyone can be a fashionista with work! *In a flash of red robes she sets out at a fast pace down the street toward Dona Flora.*
