LBD - LaCasa Flexi Dress

I admit it, I'm a junkie for LBD Ready to Wear. I almost tripped over myself getting over to the store after receiving the group announcement about the LeCasa Flexi Dress new release. Translucent but interesting is so hard to accomplish and LeeZu Baxter simply makes it look easy. The dress is a rich blend of hues from cream to deep chocolate with a light airy sheer prim skirt topped with a form fitting honeycomb patterned top accented with circular cutouts.

The set includes both a micro-mini and above the knee length skirt as well as an upper skirt attachment that raises the waistline to an empire. An obvious winner with a chocolate pump, I was thrilled to find that it works with both ankle and knee length boots beautifully. It's a hard match to anything at the neck, but definitely an outfit that calls for a pair of edgy earrings or an armful of bangles. I didn't hesitate to pick this up at L$350 and neither should you.

Adam 'n' Eve - Snakeskin Dress

Adam 'n' Eve's Catwalk collection has some absolutely fabulous designs in gorgeous colors and textures. The one I fell in love with immediately was the Snakeskin Dress and I was thrilled to discover two different skirts included for my mix and match needs. All the colors are deep and rich and the snakeskin texture is clear and detailed - as a result it is easy to pair it with a variety of separates and shoes.

The outfit consists of a top, shorts (underskirt) and both a slim prim mini and a flexi mini. I had a bit of trouble adjusting the prim mini, but I always do - probably why I prefer flexis with my shape. That said, most folks won't have the problems that I did. The dress comes in 6 colors to satisfy any preference - red, green, silver, white, blue and gold - and a fatpack for those who just can't decide. Each color is L$300 purchased separately or in the "Brat Pack" containing all colors for L$1200.

Baiastice - Pink Fantasy Dress

Spring is supposed to be springing and clothing all over SL belies the evidence of RL, so I went shopping for suitably spring-like outfits to brighten up the winter darks. Not being a pastel person, this presented a bit of a problem. I actually went to Baiastice while wandering through my "folder of links I need to visit" and when I saw this dress, I knew I had a spring post outfit. It also gave me the chance to try out several different hairstyles from Zero Style that I had bought and neglected.

Since the goal is to be able to take one outfit and go several places without a change of wardrobe, I started out with the straight party dress look, pairing the bright spring colors with a pair of black stilettos to match the retro black detailing. A quick change of hair, a short jacket and soft boots and it's an entirely different look. The dress itself is only L$250, required virtually no adjustment and simply looks terrific - especially for gals like me with a ton of black accessories.

For a taste of spring, retro style, head over to the Baiastice Main Store.
