The Greenhouse Effect

http://The Greenhouse Effect

Ok, I’ll admit it. I’ve never quite understood the general love affair with vintage.  But while I’ve happily left my brief fling with retro behind, I have to say that I seem to have been “bitten by the bug” and have fallen somewhat in love with vintage. There’s just something I can’t quite put my finger on that captivates me… it almost adds a sense of maturity, of classic style, and yet seems to be winking at the same time.  To me, the looks that incorporate a touch of vintage have a sense of freshness rather than “the same old, same old”, which is actually rather opposite of what I would have expected. How long will this love affair last? Well, you never really know, but I expect it will be one of those on-and-off romances, because if it’s one thing I’m certain about, I definitely never want my look or style to go stale. There’s no fun in that, for you OR for me lol! 😉

  • Top:  MOZ Designs – “Shay” Madras Crop Tied Top is almost a little bit of vintage country created with a modern twist & style.  Original fitmesh available in 8 individual textures or a fatpack, the top is sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I, Eve, & Maitreya.
  • Leggings:  MOZ Designs – High Waist Leggings, another awesomely-cut pair of bottoms from MOZ, I just LOVE how the combination of a high waist on a tight-fitting legging makes my curves look so, well, curvy.  I also really like putting the short cropped top with a high waist… sometimes I feel the combination of the short crop with the low-cut bottom can be overkill, depending on the style.  This is just so classicly sexy, & I can understand how it got to be a classic! Original fitmesh, these leggings are available in a range of solids & prints, in denims, leathers, linens & knits, individually & in fatpacks. Sized for Tonic, Slink H/P, Belleza F/I, eBody, Eve, & Maitreya.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Sookie is another beautiful Omega skin that, although based on the new GENUS strong-face bento head, looks amazing on all kinds of mesh heads that take Omega.  I’m wearing her in Cashew browless on a LAQ head, & I love how she looks!  Fatpacks of dark & light tones EXCLUSIVELY available at The Chapter Four, April 5th through the end of the month. Shape & demos also available.
