SL Frees & Offers

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several gifts for the SL Frees & Offers group, which is free to join and very informative. The participating designers tell us about what's going on at their stores, so this type of multi-designer group is a hub of info without needing to be a part of a hundred separate store groups :) In addition of course, the designers can offer a free gift for the SLFO members if they choose, so I found a handful of those to share here tonight. I have plans like this for a few other similar groups in the very near future too, so if you like these mini tours of SL fashion brands, please check back soon.


My first look comes from Tori's Stylez and is called TS-Bridgette-GG. We receive the lovely corset top and partly unzipped leggings each in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. There are versions with and without the lace for the tops, and the lace-free ones are slightly revealing since the lace covers the tops of the areolae. Just a few pixels of rosy skin, nothing scandalous, but I stuck with the pretty lace on both sides of the above photo :) There is also a HUD with 6 choices for our tops, so we can change the appearance to suit any mood. I was tickled by the reminder that in the late 80s or early 90s, I had a pair of leggings very much like these except not zippered in the front, just solid black pull-on pants with black lace panels down each leg. I wore mine with long shirts over it so you couldn't see the panties peeking through the top of the lace sides ;) Long tunic tops were the fashion back then anyway, and fashion is eternally cyclical.


V8 Underground is always a pleasure to visit, as their offerings including gifts tend to be fully loaded outfits to dress ourselves from head to toe. Their SLFO gift is called **BROKE THSMI BLUE ALOHA STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT** and I feel like I need to take a deep breath before reeling off the contents :) The bra, panties, sarong, and sandals each fit Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. As for accessories, we have the leg tattoo in system layer and Omega applier, then we can add the sunglasses, hibiscus hairpiece, left and right bracelets, necklace, waist accessory, and anklet, which all have resizer scripts built in to adjust them as needed. I always appreciate how versatile these are, for example if you are wearing this indoors or at night just leave off the sunglasses, or if the flowers don't work with your hair (or you just aren't fond of flowers) you can omit that and still have a very full look. Not into tattoos? It isn't a necessity so just leave it in the folder if you prefer. We really get to personalize this by choosing just the parts we want.


Next I slipped into the Carola*Neus 1121 gift for SLFO, and found myself wanting to watch Austin Powers ;) The playful pattern on the dress probably did that, and I enjoy the attached belt and the smile-shaped bust cutout. We receive the dress in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Kupra Bimbo, Low, Original, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The high heels will fit Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink mid feet, and we get a dress HUD with 10 colors plus a shoe HUD with 15 options. Plenty of variety in this wonderful gift, isn't there?


I also visited Eliya.K and picked up their lovely Gul Dress - STEEL ( Plain ) gift for SLFO. There are Freya, Isis, and Maitreya mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD with 12 color choices for the sheer skirt addition as well as the option to hide it by clicking the eye 👁 on the HUD. I enjoy the soft net look of the skirt layer, but of course it looks just as pretty without as it turns into a more casual style in my opinion.


For my final look of the night, I visited TRS Designs at their new home and claimed the lovely Jemma Romper Berry gift. It is a breezy look for the warmer weather that is here or on its way soon, and that deep V shows off just enough cleavage to be flirty without overdoing it for G-rated regions. There are lots of sizes included too - Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Tonic Minim mesh bodies. A handy tip is that if berry just isn't your color, take a look at the other gifts TRS Designs has for other groups because there are several variations of this outfit on that gift wall :) You may already be a member of the other groups, and can easily change tags to pick up a gift in a hue you prefer.

It was a quiet day and a hockey-filled evening, with just one game still going but most likely going to end with the first elimination in this entire first round of playoffs. I'm still frustrated about the dentist issue I talked about last night, but trying to focus on other things until the next appointment. We are having bad storms tomorrow so I'm not going to my parents' for dinner like I usually do on Fridays, but we've been chatting via text and everything is fine otherwise. For the farmers market Saturday it's showing showers rather than rain, so perhaps lighter or intermittent? I need things there and will go if at all possible. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
