Looking Aubergine

I’m having a hard time getting back into the swing of things for some reason. Nothing feels quite right yet, and I seem to always be missing my friends and events I want to attend. Even shopping doesn’t seem as much fun, but Tuli releasing the Veronica outfit did get me to run out with wallet in hand while still bald because none of my hair would rez. That’s just how much I wanted the outfit.

I was cautious and bought just the aubergine color even though I wanted the fat pack because I wasn’t sure how the whole outfit (sweater, skirt, capris, and tights) would work on my shape. I’m happy to say that the sweater fit without any modding other than moving the neck around just a tiny little bit. Yeah, let me say that again. I bought a sweater with prim neck and wrist attachments, and I barely needed to adjust anything! /me faints. The sweater texture is so lush and fits me really well.

As expected, there is some distortion of the plaid pattern on my shape, but the skirt being in three pieces allowed me to get a good fit with that as well. After stretching and adjusting those prims, I don’t notice the texture stretching as much. The pose I used to show the skirt here has an issue with my leg sticking through, but that’s just the pose, and I think you can still see that the plaid lines up nicely across the prims of the skirt.

Halloween freebies

All the Halloween hunts have been fun as well because they’re available whenever I am even when it’s the middle of the day and because freebies are always music to this bargain shopper’s ear. My favorites of the hunts have probably been the DG Innovations and Deviant Kitties ones because of the mix and quality of the items. I found myself enjoying a little different look for myself with the Deviant Kitties items as you can see in these photos. I liked pairing them with the Halloween freebie skins from Minnu Models.

Halloween Sugar and Spice

I also have to say that I was surprised by how easily I was able to fit this orange skirt from Deviant Kitties. I almost didn’t even try because I have had no luck with similar skirts from other shops. I just stretched it out quite a bit and then moved it over and up a little, and it fit! I’m guessing my waist-to-hip ratio is similar to Helyanwe’s shape, which is a theory I’ll be testing out in the future by buying more skirts! :D
