Scandalous Weekend

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're returning to Scandalize, who has a new group and a remodeled group gift skybox for us, as I mentioned about a week ago :) The group is $20L to join, which is quite reasonable for access to over a hundred free gifts with that tag active. Their sister store Beyond has gifts for their paid group up there also, so be sure to look around to see which brand's room you are in as you wander through doorways to explore the various sections up there. There is a landing spot at the main store, please walk in and head towards the front desk where you'll see a sign of pink text that says 100+ Group Gifts and the word Teleport. Give it a click, and away you go to a treasure trove of treats! I know this may seem oddly specific, but I headed to the first room to the west after landing up there, so all of these gifts can be found in that room. Last time I focused on that first room we landed in and I still have several goodies to share in the near future from both rooms plus others.


For my first look this evening, I am enjoying our SCANDALIZE. Lydia. FATPACK group gift. There are two versions of the top, with and without lace, and both of those and the shorts are all provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. Then we get to have fun with HUDs :) The main HUD offers 42 colors for the top, 22 for the lace version, plus 42 solid colors and 22 patterns for the shorts. Then the HUD for the attached belt has 42 metals, 42 solid colors and 22 patterns for the belt material. So I'm wearing the lace top on the right of course, and the original on the left comes to a sleek point above the navel. 


My RL chilly weather makes me really appreciate the sleek and cozy beauty of our SCANDALIZE. Teila. FATPACK gift. It consists of the mini dress (with spaghetti straps and sweetheart neckline), a cropped top in the same style, and open coat with built in belt, each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The top is a great option if you want to layer some leggings or pants beneath the coat instead :) As with most fatpacks we do have HUDs, and one offers 42 solids and 22 patterns each for the dress, belt, and straps. The coat HUD has the same offerings of 42 solid colors and 22 patterns which are all that familiar plaid you see on the right above, and there's a coat buttons HUD that lets us pick from 42 colors. The dress HUD has similar offerings for the dress and top, so whichever you wear beneath can be solid colored or with that embossed floral texture.


There is something so appealing about a knit texture, those slender ridges that stretch to accommodate our curves, which is a feature of our lovely SCANDALIZE. Nimisha. FATPACK gift. The sleeveless cropped top, mini skirt, and waist chain in gold and silver versions are all included in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing. The HUDs are numbered, and HUD 1 has 42 solid colors and 22 patterns each for the top, waist, and waist skirt, then HUD 2 offers 42 colors and 22 pattern colors for the skirt, as well as 44 'strips skirt' choices. As you can see above, the top's pattern is a leopard print, while the skirt has a fun plaid :) I'm shy about mixing patterns so I paired each type with its solid counterpart instead.


Another treat that will come in handy once warmer weather returns is this sweet SCANDALIZE. Flarya. FATPACK set. Our top, separate sleeves, and shorts are all designed for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with lots of HUDs to customize the look. The top HUD has 42 solid colors and 22 strips (striped) for the top, 42 colors for the ruffles, and 42 solids and 22 strips for the sleeves. The shorts HUD lets us select from 42 solids and 22 strips for the shorts and 42 solid colors each for the waist and laces. There's even a HUD for the shorts metals with 42 selections :) I do appreciate that this brand has a lot of variety for their metals, as I've seen plenty of RL clothing that has painted metals in just about any color you can imagine, rather than just the traditional gold or silver. 


The SCANDALIZE. Nivvi. FATPACK is my final look of the evening, and I must say it really tickled my fancy :) There are two versions of the jumpsuit - the one on the left above labeled "w/metals" and the one on the right with a loosely tied belt or sash - each of which come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya bodies. Then the HUDs bring the magic, with one offering 42 colors each for the top and waist (on the non-metals version), and 42 solids plus 22 ombres for the pants portion. The belts HUD has 42 colors for the bow which is the belt on that version, and 7 metals for the wide belt of that variety. I always wind up saying this with intricate HUDs but I do highly recommend just clicking all the buttons, LOL, well at least one from each row, to see what responds and what creates a look that makes you happy. Maybe you love ombres, or maybe they give you the ick...perhaps you want a solid look from head to toe, or your current mood craves the more colors the better :) My job is to help you find affordable outfits, and yours is to decide how you prefer to wear them.

The beginning of the week dragged by, but the second half simply flew for me. I can barely believe the weekend is here already :) Thanks to the sub-freezing temps I am not going to the farmers market tomorrow, but I am writing up a shopping list for the housemate to grab a few tasty treats for me. I'm not sure what else my weekend will hold, other than therapy Sunday, but exploring in SL is a given :) I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
