Black and White.. Monochrome Madness?

Not really.. just black and white. I was talking to teh lubberly Trinners and she asked me if i’d done a black and white blog yet. I don’t know if this is what she had in mind, and i’ll happily do another, but this is my first take on a Black and White kinda themed outfit, I opted for casual, as I usually do… I don’t know why, so don’t ask! :P

I knew for this one I wanted to try and wear something that I never normally wear… so we’ll start with that:

Black n White for Trinners <3

The hair is from Kin and is from WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY way back, I remember I found the store shortly after Kin just started hair and insisted I buy her entire store, STAT. So I did :D This is the Elf Hair, shown here in black, and it’s that old it even comes with a hair base! But you know, looking at it, some people still use these kinda textures, sooooo… :P I think its cute!

The eyes are from Tuli and are just the regular Tuli Eyes, the really cute ones with the sparkles in, not actual sparkles, just whitey type bits… very cute and… sparkly!

Starley is the main strain on my inventory (or is that Elika?) either way, I love the strain so GIMME MORE, I say! The skin is from Celestial Studios and is the pre-Vogue skin.. Charmed! I loved and still do love Charmed, it’s tintable, so you can play with the tone a lil bit, which is nice, and she did some wicked awesome make-ups for it, included a pack of “blacks”… shown here in Tone 70 (the darkest) is Smoke from the Black pack, it’s still available too!

For the outfit I was trying to think of a route to take that might be a bit different, but I FAILED and ended up sticking to my safe casual style look, I really must learn to push the boat out, musn’t I?  I started off with the CE Short Leather Jacket, I love this!   I love CE clothes, although I think sometimes it’s a bit pricey, but that’s usually because i’m greedy and want ALL the colours EVER.  They are really nicely made though and make good use of sculpties and awesome texturing to boot!   If you don’t own this jacket, you probably should you know.

The jeans are a collab between Menno and Torrid, so Kari and TW and are the New School Jeans, part of their recent huge collab release (also including Zyrra and Starley!) and are just lovely, I love a nicely textured pair of jeans and I love the prims on these, slouchy but not huge and they fit like a glove, so how can I complain??

I wasn’t sure what I wanted under the Jacket so I just searched for White Tank and came up with many, the first one I picked was from It’s All Good and is actually a shirt layer from a fatpack, meant to go under the Jacket included, but I think it looks just fine under this one, it’s not as much White as Off White… but it’ll do :P

For my shoes I kept to the safety of the UBU Pornstars, highly customisable with all the clicky clicks you can do on EVERY piece, where can you go wrong?

Oh yeah, I also have ears from Atomic on too, go fetch!

So that’s it, in a nutshell, sorry for the small blog but I keep getting distracted and really just wanted to belt this out while I’m awake!
