Earning My Stripes (New Post @ Second Life Fashion Addict)

Pushing through when you are fighting fatigue and exhaustion is a special kind of ability, and one I seem to be lacking for the most part. Today I have managed to do it, but who knows what tomorrow may bring. I figure every push is like earning my stripes, so to speak, and over my lifetime, I have more stripes than places to display them. This adorable look came together with a little bit of luck and a whole lot of awesome pieces from a lot of different places. Really it is my favorite way to blog, although time consuming, pulling together a really unique look is what makes me most happy. When you combine well made items in new and unexpected ways, you can really express your own sense of style.

This post really isn't about new things, it's more about digging into my inventory and showing off things I have picked up at various events and shops, but have yet to wear. It's a summer casual look that is all about comfort, and perfect for a little walk about. While checking out My Slink Obsession, the event, I stopped to snap some pictures. I always forget that in addition to being a wonderful shopping destination, Slink West  is a really well designed SIM with lots of great spots to take pictures. I love finding new places to shoot for my blog, a little exploration is in order, but it's always fun and there is so much diversity in Second Life to celebrate.

Hair Fair - Big Win At The Fair

Hair Fair 2014 Begins Tomorrow! YES INDEED!

Hair Fair - Big Win At The Fair (New Post @ Second Life Fashion Addict)

Pick a fair, any fair Skin, Hair, Shoe, and there are a lot of winners there. Certainly, we shoppers are huge winners, we get heaps of new and must have goodies all in one place. The content creators are winners, they get to show off their creations alongside the best of the best, and even the little fish in the pool can get a lot of exposure.  But beyond that, there are the charities that are tied in to most of these big events, and they win in two big ways. First, they get a lot of exposure for their cause, as Wigs for Kids has at the current Hair Fair 2014. Secondly, they get many small donations from the sale of items at the event, and all those small donations add up to something wonderful when all is said and done. Every single purchase you make at Hair Fair gives Wigs for Kids a small percentage of the cost to helping children who have experienced hair loss as a result of medical treatment, a health condition, or trauma, such as a burn. It's a lovely commentary on the power of the many when they come together to support something bigger than themselves. A new to me vendor like !Saltgrass!, who have this lovely Raleigh style available Exclusively at Hair Fair 2014, is the perfect example of a wig that turns a purchase from you into so much more.
