Black as the night….

But how black IS the night? I don’t ever often think it’s pitch black… do you?

Thats totally besides the point, the point is Laura asked me to do BLACK!   Now, I decided to go with a reasonably casual black, with a hint of sexiness, and will pinpoint different ways to dress up/down in Black as we travel along this colourful road, cos there are so many diff ways to wear it!!!

So… I guess we know the drill, top to bottom… here we goooooooooooooooo:

First I decided i’d pick my hair/eyes/skin and work down from there.   I knew right away what eyes/skin I wanted for my “casualish” black post, so I hopped straight to it and popped in the Tuli eyes, aptly named Black! I love Tuli eyes, these are older eyes, not the new ones with veins and stuff (although I like them too ) these are all sparkly and pretteh!

The skin is from Celestial Studio and is part of the Deviant Nation Collection.  This particular skin is shown here in Cashmere and is from the Last Call named release and is called Fishnet! I happen to think this is one of the most awesome make-ups i’ve EVER seen, it’s so plain, but its so striking!!! Just pure black smudged eyes paired with nicely muted lips, I’d say it’s my base skin, it’s what I hop to when all else fails cos I know it’ll look awesome with everything!

I’d already put my outfit on before I picked out my hair, but the hair I settled on was from ETD and part of the long gone Couture Collection, man I loved those textures with my entire being, it was a great collection!  I chose the Pig Tails, I love Pig Tails in SL and RL, and I felt these were casual enough to be, well… casual but also cute, and of course the Black textured one was unpacked in my inventory so YAYYYY!

The outfit was pretty much based around the first pair of casual pants I came across, which happened to be the ETD Camo Pants, which I adore, super casual but with a kick ass twist, I dunno why I always think of camo as kick ass, but I do, so there!   I put them on and immediately felt like I looked like I could go for a walk in the park and kick someones head in! WOOT!    I then thought “I KNOW! *lightbulb ding* and dug through my folders to find this awesome Mesh top from Torrid!! It’s a fine piece of SL history! IT’s the first mesh top I think I owned and i’m still in love with it, it’s so well made and it comes with undershirt so you can be a lil naked, or a lot naked, it’s up to you really

The final piece of the outfit was the shoes, yup, I wore shoes… AGAIN!   I decided on pair from Kari, the new awesome shop on the grid, and are the Skulls, Bones and Waves Hi Tops!

So that’s it for this take on Black, it won’t be the only take on that particular Colour/Hue/Shade/W.E! but that’s al for now folks, I have tonsilitous and i’m crankeh! (SLURLS to come asap, I need to nap LOL!)
