Gifts from Juli Fashion Style

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we head to Juli Fashion Studio store (JFS), where there is an entire wall of free group gifts and a half dozen lucky boards that are for group members only. This group is currently free to join, so you can obtain many new wardrobe items without damaging your SL budget :) I noticed that some of the group gifts are specifically for the Maitreya body, with others including a few more body sizes, so be sure to peek at the logos on each sign before you claim them if you are not a Maitreya wearer. I was really impressed with the sheer quantity of the gifts available for the group, indicative of a very generous designer. All of tonight's looks are from those group gifts rather than lucky boards or midnight mania, but stay tuned for future posts if you like what you see.

My first look of the night is the JFS_Cocktail Dress GIFT, a very sweet retro styled dress with lace overlay on the bodice and a full skirt. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with heels to fit Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink high feet. Both the dress and heels can be tinted with the included HUD that has a color wheel so you can pick any color imaginable. There are also optional lights as part of the gift for body and legs, which can be handy to bring out the materials enabled feature of many of these gifts.

The JFS_GIFT MILO OUTFIT is a splashy, multicolored dress and heels that each fit the Maitreya mesh body. The floral pattern is bursting with blossoms in so many pretty hues, with bright yellow belt to match the heels/base of our strappy sandals. I really like this for spring and summer, as it feels like a celebration of nature to me.

I did mention materials enabled mesh in reference to the body and leg lights that most of these gifts include, and this JFS_GIFT BET OUTFIT + HUD is a good example of why :) You can see some yellowish shine on the green and deep pink reflecting on the blue that I chose on the right, very pretty! Our dress, panties, and boots are each provided in Hourglass and Maitreya sizes, along with lights that I am not wearing because of my windlight settings. Even without the body lights, my ambient lighting is working well for this fabric.

JFS_GIFT SASSY is another flirty outfit created for the Maitreya body. It includes the cropped top, mini skirt, and open toed boots, with a color HUD that you can click anywhere in the color wheel to choose whatever color strikes your fancy. The denim of the skirt is not affected, just the top and boots. The lace trim on both really ties the look together, doesn't it?

For my final look of the evening, I chose the group gift called JFS_GIFT JANY OUTFIT. The strapless dress has built in panties, and comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The thigh high boots are provided in the same set of sizes, and are looking fantastic in that dusky denim fabric to perfectly match our gently ruffled dress. The zipper down the front of the dress is a fun detail, possibly conjuring thoughts of slowly unzipping it.

It was a long but reassuring day, as the loved one's family member I mentioned recently is home from the hospital and recovering from surgery. The situation around it got complicated, but medical emergencies rarely wait for us to be home in good weather with no plans ;) I will be going to my parents' for dinner tomorrow as I usually do, and *fingers crossed* enjoying the farmers market again on Saturday. Making plans lately is intimidating when things keep cropping up, hehe, but I am still mostly an optimist. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
