It’s been a rough week dealing with an aging parent lost in technology. I then escaped into my own world of technology here on the grid, where I spent some more time thinking about how I choose exactly what to blog. I realized that as a blogger, I do a lot of shopping with an eye towards not just what I want to wear, but what I think others might want to know about. And although I’m always looking for new designers who create clothes in Tonic sizes (or which easily fit the Tonic body), I find that certain brands consistently provide the looks I want at a reliable value since yes, my Second Life has a budget. Along that line, I find that S&B Fashion is a great source for Tonic gals to find casual wear. I totally fell in love with the detailing on this lace top — between the cut outs along the neck and the bottom edging, together with the little embellishments and the sheer fabric that’s almost-but-not-quite-too-revealing — for which a Tonic size is an absolute must. (For those who don’t want the sheer lining, the top is also available with a solid lining; both versions come with multi-HUDs offering a choice of 6 colors.) The jeans, while not in a Tonic size, fit me perfectly in Physique with some judicious use of the alpha hud on the legs, and are nicely detailed as well, with embroidered stitching running down the seams and edging at the cuffs. And for some reason, wearing lace always makes me feel better… even when dealing with the frustrations of the real world!
