CozyFest is Tops

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are taking a look at some more gifts from CozyFest '22, a Fifty Linden Fridays event whose gifts are for the FLF group. It is free to join and there are gifts at just about every display, in tan giftboxes wrapped in purple ribbon and bow. There is a wide variety among these goodies, lots of home decor as well as fashion and accessories, mostly with a cozy theme in mind which suits this time of year quite well :) I had fun tonight with a lot of the tops, ways to wrap yourself in warmth or be flirty and bring the heat!

First we have the [Cosmic Dust] - Cozy Sweater - Winter Vibes - Pink, a sweet treat with an adorable critter napping on the front. It comes in Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, and has a fuzzy appearance from a sheer layer on top I believe. Wearing this has already gotten me a compliment on how cute it is! For this and the next few photos, I am wearing the white pair of Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack, a longtime favorite freebie of mine. There are 9 colors in system/BOM layers as well as appliers for Maitreya and Omega. 

My next look offers some good advice, thanks to Nectarine and their Cropped Tee Stay Cozy. The delivery HUD lets you choose from sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, or Petite bodies, delivering just the one you need so your inventory doesn't overflow even more than all these generous gifts are already causing ;) I love the font they used for Stay Cozy and all its pretty flourishes, looking great with the white and teal decorations surrounding it. 

If your weather is chilly outside, try warming things up inside with the [JUSTICE] EMERY CAMI - MINT gift. This fluttery tank top has spaghetti straps and is open just a bit in the front, scalloped trim on each side of that slit. There are sizes provided for Freya, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, as well as a HUD with 20 colors each for the straps and trim. The strap color you select also tints the bow and its long tails that drape into the opening, so you can come up with some really lovely color combinations.

Another fuzzy looking sweater can be found as our gift from Flora. Their zara sweater comes in eBody Reborn, Legacy, and Maitreya sizes, with a 5 color HUD so you can change the look as I had fun doing. I must admit that in the chilly weather I enjoy wearing masks outdoors to keep my face warm, especially if it is windy, so this fashionable ::C'est la vie!:: Face Mask 02 (Plaid) would be welcome in RL too. It has a resize script built in on touch, and it also includes a HUD with 3 charming plaid prints to match lots of different looks. You can also turn the materials on and off via that same HUD. 

My final look of the evening is our _CandyDoll_Posie Dress Blueroses gift, a very versatile and flirty treat! It includes Freya, Hourglass, Hourglass Petite, Legacy, Maitreya, and V-Tech mesh body sizes, with a generous HUD that lets us choose from 20 patterns and 25 solid colors for the nipple hearts, plus 25 solid hues each for the trim (neck and sleeve cuffs) and zipper in the back. As you can guess, I had a great time experimenting with that HUD and selecting just a couple of looks to share. 

My day was fine until the evening arrived, bringing a frustrating hockey game and then a visit from a stink bug who thought it would be fun to fly into my head several times before landing on my shoulder. If you don't have these pests in your area (lucky!) they are large and loud when flying, and can emit a stinky spray like a flying skunk if scared. Sound fun? *gag* They also smell terrible if you kill them, so my preference is to catch and release outside, except I cannot reach the dang thing right now. Also it's below freezing outside, so not ideal for the bug or for me. They fly like they're drunk, LOL, bumbling around and slamming into things, making more noise than something that size should be capable of. I will be on high alert for the next several hours, flinching at any slight sound or movement. I am anxious by nature, and really dislike these bugs even though they aren't dangerous to humans. My parents get them in their house too, and they scare their cockatiels which adds to my dislike. Oh well, I hope you're all having a decent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
