Saturday Sale Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I switched gears back to the bounty of gifts from The Saturday Sale event's 10th anniversary, which is loaded with $50L - $100L offers as well as the group gifts found in floating balloons at each display. Be sure to head down the sloped and rippling pathways to the lower level too while you're there, don't want to miss anything :) The event lasts until the beginning of October (the 1st day as a matter of fact) so if your weekend plans don't have the wiggle room to squeeze in more shopping, don't fret...you have time to explore at your leisure.


My first look starts with the beautiful Seniha. Andie Dress // Violet gift. It consists of two versions (v2 is the sheer lacy one on the right above, with v1 on the left which is solid) each in sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD with 30 color choices for the trim, which I tinted pale peachy pink on the left and maroon on the right :) Now from a distance the Kibitz - purple quartz - gift necklace appeared to be within a shade or so of the same color, but the closer view of my inset makes it look a fair bit darker. I don't see that as a problem, just observing how distance is like angles and lighting with affecting the way items can look. There is an unrigged size of the necklace as well as eBody, Legacy, and Maitreya rigged versions so you can get an easy automatic fit. The unrigged can be adjusted as needed, which I do appreciate even if I'm terrible at it, LOL, so I'm happily wearing the Maitreya size for my body.


The gift from :::FurtaCor::: is their showstopping Malissa Dress + Pasties (RED), perfect for if your weekend takes a sexy turn :) The dress and matching pasties each fit Erika, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies, and since they are separate parts you can take off the pasties for a little show. There is also a HUD that offers 5 metallic hues each for the spikes and the zippers, for that added personalized touch. The back is completely solid, so I did more of a side view to show the spikes in a different color.


I am always drawn to styles that mix classic and modern aspects, like the EPOCH [Liv Dress] gift. The full short sleeves are a true classic, as is a sweetheart neckline, but this one is caused by the tied front so it dips deeper than average while some of the midriff is bared. The short skirt has a playful thigh slit, very sexy! We receive Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes in this treat, as well as a 10 texture HUD. Most of our choices are solid colors, but the polka dot patterns like I'm wearing on the left have a great retro flavor, don't they?


Would you believe that we can see three different TSS gifts at once here? The top is from Mug, and is called Valentina Tank - Branded. If you look closely at the band, it says MUG in white lettering all around it, hence the branded name, and the left shoulder strap seems to have slipped off our arm completely :) This is a clever one, as it comes with a HUD to change sizes of the single version provided (I guess it re-rezzes it for each mesh rigging?) to your choice of Kupra, Legacy/Perky/Vtech, Maitreya/Flat/Petite, or Reborn/Vtech. The pretty panties are the ~[LeMotiv] Gift Ztella Panties gift, which have mask or blend versions each in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach,and Reborn sizes. The included HUD has 15 colors each for 3 different sections of the panty, so of course I had lots of fun playing with the HUD as I usually do ;) The playful body art on my right thigh is our - Watercolor - Feelings BOM Tattoo, which consists of 4 layers - 100%, faded, fresh, and normal. I am wearing 100% on the left which looks like it was painted on with makeup, then normal on the right which is lowered enough to look more like a tattoo but still nicely visible in photographs. I adore all four opacities for different looks, and the flowers are beautifully drawn and colored.


For my final look this evening, I changed into the zOOm - Margot Outfit gift. Its top, skirt, and panties will each fit Legacy and Maitreya mesh bodies, plus there is a 4 texture HUD that changes the top and skirt together in one quick click. The panties stay neutral brown to match the floral patterns easily. It's always good to have separate pieces for those of us who like to mix and match too, so the top can go well with a pair of jeans for example. 

It was a decent day with a nice dinner visit to my parents', including giving my mom a birthday card and small gift for tomorrow which is her actual big day. Her mom's 97th birthday is coming up on the 24th, and the pushy cousin who organized a party for her last year without consulting anyone (including her live-in caretaker!) did it again for this year. I asked my mom if *cousin* has always been such a control freak, and she said something like well she usually plans the family things...I said that wasn't my question :P  She is so used to being a people pleaser that she can't bring herself to admit that her cousin is being invasive and annoying, but I somehow broke free from that mindset it seems. The cousin said nobody needs to bring anything as it's all planned, which made me sigh because last year she didn't take into account anyone's dietary limitations like my parents both having gluten sensitivity (doctor confirmed, not a fad/trend thing) so I'm afraid they'll be stuck bringing their own meals again or just not eating. I probably won't be able to go because of the agoraphobia, which is a sad thought but I am still making tiny bits of progress very slowly. We had some storms pass through strongly tonight, so it is a relief that they are in the rear view mirror now. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
