I first got the idea to put together a “day to night” wardrobe transformation when I began walking around in this incredibly cute, aqua and black mesh dress by Aura (shown on left). Right now, you can pick it up at COLLABOR88 for well under what the dress is truly worth. It fit my avatar very well and was made even more fun by the addition of this adorable, pink belt by fri.day. It never hurts to personalize a look with your own unique touch ^^

For the day look I tried to imagine what I’d want to wear while out shopping with my girlfriends. I wanted the styling to be flirty and full of energy so I accented my sassy mesh dress with pops of pink. For a final touch I added these fabulous new shoes by N-core. The “Coquette Spikes” shoes were love at first sight for me!

When it came to decor for the entire set, I knew I wanted something young, modern, and full of vibrant color! The first image shows you the entire set I built. It isn’t two different sets but instead one large set built to “fade” from the day look to the night look. To get my avatar wearing both of her unique looks but in one image, I just shot the set twice from the exact same camera angle. Then, it’s as simple as layering the two images in Photoshop. To get the exact angle I used the Furware Peek HUD. It’s an awesome tool to have in your inventory!

I wanted the evening ensemble to compliment the character’s style all while looking like she’s about to go on a romantic date. It was important to me that I didn’t compromise her individuality so I purchased her hair from the same creator. Action creates some wicked styles that really appeal to alternative fashionistas. I will say, however, that the brand doesn’t allow you to modify the hair manually so make sure you try a demo. If you can’t get Action hair to fit with the resizer, you’ll need to make shape modifications.

The ability to experiment with your avatar’s style and identity is one of the reasons why I love Second Life so much. I’m so thankful for all of the talented designers out there who put their heart and soul into their creations. We have a wonderful, magical world here in SL and I hope my posts have been helping many of you find products and places that perhaps you hadn’t seen before. I wish you all the best of luck in discovering your personal styles, joys, and passions here within our second world!
