Be faithful to your own taste, because nothing you really love is ever out of style. ~ author unknown

The above quote along with five others that pertain to style and fashion can be found on my profile inworld. These are quotes that keep me grounded and focused when shopping for anything in Second Life, and 1st life too.

I recently did a thorough cleaning of my closet in 2nd (which I do a couple times every year), hanging on to those pieces I felt were classic in their overall design, and that I would wear again and again. It made no difference if it was standard mesh, fit mesh, or mesh made specifically for my body. If it was still relevant to me, I kept it and packed up the rest.

According to the properties menu, I acquired the above gown on March 3, 2013. That was five years ago. Today I’d put this gown up against any of the recently purchased gowns I’ve bought, or for that matter any new release on the grid. It’s still current, and a elegant work of art. And still available in store.

The hairstyle by Vanity Hair is another keeper. Purchased November of 2012 it was one of the first mesh hairs I ever bought. At the time I thought it elegant and classic in style. My opinion has not changed. Classic pieces stand the test of time… Every time.

Be kind to one another. TWMA♥

I am so happy to see Giz Seorn (formerly Gizza) designing for individual mesh bodies now. I spied this new release Striking and Smart, a pencil skirt and ruffle top at the new District 20 event and just had to try the DEMO. Loved it so much I bought the megapack. The HUDS offer endless possibilities and I look forward to seeing more designs from Giz.

The pretty stiletto pumps are Lancaster by Essenz. I am such a sucker for a pretty pair of shoes. How many pairs of stiletto pumps can one person have? Apparently a lot lol. I should count the pairs one day.

The upswept casual hairdo is an early mesh release by Vanity Hair but still relevant to this day. It works well with mesh heads and there are applier hairbases available at the store.

These days I credit everything I am wearing though at times they are not clear or not showing in the photograph. Still, they are an important part of the total look and deserve recognition. They also make up the total avatar complexity listed below. Yours may vary depending upon the accessories used.

Remember…Don’t be afraid to assert yourself and more importantly…Don’t be afraid to OWN IT. Be kind to one another. TWMA♥
