Shine Like Emeralds

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings us to Emerald Couture, where their free group entitles you to several group gifts as well as the chance to win on the group-only lucky chairs. There are some chairs for everyone with no group tag required, and there are now lucky boards above the chairs among lots of other treats that won't cost you a thing. I always enjoy visiting because there are so many sales and bargains in addition to the many freebies, all top quality and many outfits including jewelry and/or shoes. 

My first look is one of the four newest group gifts, called EC Mayte Dress. It includes sizes for Alice, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Maitreya Petite mesh bodies, with a 3 texture HUD. The choices are the two seen above and another heart pattern in a similar pink to the color on the left. I adore that heart shaped cutout in the front! For all of the group gifts, you will need to right click and pay $1L but it will be automatically refunded as the gift is delivered to you. 

Next I changed into the flirty EC Lumi Outfit Red GG which is also a free group gift. The dress comes in Altamura Sofia, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody Classic, eBody Curvy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes, and the shoes are sized for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. The undies and stockings are provided too, in system/BOM layers and Omega appliers for red and white versions. The dress has a fun split at the waist that makes it look like two pieces from the front. 

This group gift has a St. Patrick's Day flavor, yet can also be indicative of spring with the cheery green color. It is their EC Lucky Clover Outfit v2, and starts with the dress and matching undies in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. It continues with the necklace and matching earrings, as well as the headband all in versions with and without resize scripts. I appreciate having the panties to wear beneath the short and full skirt, for a touch of modesty. 

The EC Ciara Dress Green Dot is another generous group gift in vibrant shades of green. It includes standard mesh sizes plus a fitted version for classic avatars, along with sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The style really caught my eye with the bust cutout and the diagonal slash of a hemline that goes from left hip to right knee. 

While I was there, my initial showed up on one of the group only lucky chairs so I took a seat and won this EC Rebel Outfit Leopard v2. The top and pants are linked together to wear as one piece, in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizing. The boots come in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes too, and for classic avatars you can always use an alpha layer to hide your feet entirely. The pants have such a unique design, with a pocket on the lower back thigh and little embroidered patches scattered about, and the buttons on the barely closed top have skulls on them to perfectly match the one on the belt. 

It was quite a busy day, and I enjoyed my visit to the farmers market even though the weather was damp and cloudy. It was a bit chilly but not wintry, just enough to need a light jacket. Sometimes the weather keeps people away, but lots of folks showed up to buy tasty goods like I did :) The unpleasant houseguest arrived safely as soon as we got home, so I have been hanging out upstairs here in my computer room. Tomorrow I have things to do downstairs so either there will be an awkward conversation or awkward silence, LOL. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
