One Belle Avenue, Second Life

I love everything about Green: my RL bedroom is a soft shade of green; I went to a school wear our colors were Green and White; I love being 'Green' in everything I do. My inventory had lots of green in there for me to choose from, but this week, I wanted to be different from my other posts - I wanted to wear a dress. I rarely wear dresses in RL...and SL. I would love to wear them more often but the occasion to do has been limited since becoming a mother. So a new years resolution for myself in RL/SL: to wear more dresses and feel oh so pretty!

This dress by Zaara is absolutely beautiful! The only fitting I had to do was to adjust it for my poses, but besides that, it was meant for me LOL! The shawl is from Zaara too. The detail is stunning (check the pic below).



It's amazing what a skin and hair color change will do for your look. I hardly recognize myself. I really enjoy this skin tone on me. So why do I always purchase lighter tones?? A thought I will ponder in the new year.

Speaking of the new year - I would like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year!!!

I am impressed with myself. I am now on week 2 of a challenge! *does a happy dance* What challenge am I talking about, you ask? It's the Luna Jubilee's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge. This week the challenge is the color Blue. This one is a hard for me. I am not a collector of blue. I actually try to stay away from it. But I did have two pieces in my inventory that I happen to love: my Surf Co. Belmar jeans and the Early Morning Cardigan from Fishy Strawberry. You've probably seen these jeans blogged by me like 100 times (an exaggeration I know, but I wear these A LOT) and I expect you'll see them in the future as well :-P
