3.27.14: Returning from the Dead and Channeling Claire

So I've been horribly sick for the last 2 weeks with some unknown ailment; maybe it was the flu but I did get a flu shot. But I've been feverish and achy and pretty much out of commission besides short stints on SL to talk to the bossman and get messages.  Instead, I've been catching up with House of Cards on Netflix.  I don't know about you but I tend to be one of those people that hang on and wait to watch, primarily because I am so sad when something is done and you have to wait again. So I've been clinging to them and decided that since I was basically a miserable, throbbing mess that this would be a good time.  It was and I'm still hanging on to the final episodes of Season 2, but I've become obsessed with Claire and particularly the way she dresses.  To say her dress is understated is an understatement...she takes clean and simple, which I happen to love, to an extreme.  The accessories I am using would be way over the top for her, but this is SL an The d so I get to do it my way.  The Liv dress from Color.Me.H.O.F. is nothing short of perfection. The texture choice is crisp and the seams are just right.  For me it is the perfect palette to dress up carefully.  You can pick this up for cheap at Collabor88 for about another week.  I added two accessories from ieQED, because Sigifaust has a great range. Both of these items are upgrades from pieces she made for HANDverk, her previous brand.  The scale paudrons are newly textured and matierials ready, and gorgeous as you can see in the small image.  The Rose Sandals are also an update, now made for Slink High Feet and feature a new open toe.  You can pick them up through the first week of April at The Theme Park.  They are gorgeous.  The Sylvia skin from Glam Affair in the Jamaica tone is a nice change for me. I tend to go super pale and I needed some color after feeling so green at the gills.  It is also discounted at Collabor88.
