This week's stipend went to Haunted Zuzu's Circus Kitana dress, which I've had favorited in my OnRez account for ages. The detail is lovely on this dress, but what appeals to me most is the sparing use of stripes to accent the gown and draw the viewer's eye. Simple, but effective.

As an added bonus, the dress comes not only with a shorter length skirt, and but also a variety of sizes for both lengths to fit the varying figures or residents. (How I'm a small, I have yet to figure.)

Shopping:
Dress: Haunted Zuzu - Circus Kitana ($300)
Necklace: Paper Couture - Black Pearls Set
Ring: Paper Couture - Princess Ring (2007 Jewelry Fair)
Hair: Shop Seu - Sexy Hair in caramel brown (dyed)
Skin: Chai - Midnight in cream

I was one of those kids that always liked school, so every fall I get fierce pangs of longing when I hear about classes starting and see all the aisles of school supplies in the stores. I'll probably cave in and go back at some point, but right now I have other priorities.

However, just because I'm missing out on classes, that doesn't mean I have to miss out on a new back-to-school wardrobe! Featured on this week's (month's!) stipend blowout is Sn@tch's 'Way 80s Sweater Dress' in army green. Warm enough to keep out the early evening chill, cool enough to intimidate freshmen and cut class without a second thought, it's a fall essential.

Also check out the moving sale at Frangipani - marked down clothes, and the hair is only $20L a pop!

Shopping:
Hair: Frangipani - Simone in blood ($20L)
Dress: Sn@tch - Way 80s Sweater Dress in army ($200L)
Shirt: Artilleri - I <3 You tanktop (group gift - not avail.)
Stockings: Canimal - Torn Socks in black
Shoes: Shiny Things - Old Lace-up Boots in black
Glasses: Artilleri - Greta in black
Tattoo: Sn@tch - Bang Bang

This week I blew my stipend on the Angie dress from Dutch Touch. What I love about DT is that often the outfits will come with extra pieces so that you can switch up what you're wearing. In today's example, the dress came with three extra tops on the jacket layer (as well as the basic top on the shirt layer!) I went in for the olive green set, but I think the ad said something about there being 13 color variations, and I KNOW I saw a bright pink set as well as a tasty rust-colored one. Sets range from $250-$300 depending on the quantity of extras.

Shopping:
Dress: Dutch Touch - Angie in Olive Green ($275)
Shoes: Shiny Things - Belles in Black and Acid
Hair: Shop Seu - Fuafua hair in Apricot Brown (dyed)
Skin: GP - Scene in Opaline

Ruth knows nothing about detonating dirigibles.

Ruthie is distressed that you would even accuse her so.

Pretty much the first thing I did in SL was tinker with my shape, so I wasn't Ruth for very long. she's...much shorter than Dinah, among other things.

Anyway. As per Alaska Metropolitan's Ruth Challenge, to take the default av of yore and doll her up. This is actually one of my favorite outfits to wander the grid in - maybe not necessarily the most fashionista, but certainly fun!

Shopping:
Skin: GP - Perse in Opaline
Eyes: Miriel - Violet Plant
Hair: Laqroki - LoveAffair in Copper (and then dyed)
Dress: PixelDolls - Across the World in Antique
Goggles: Cyberpunk Apocalypse - Goggles (rotated to be on top of my head)
Earrings: Miriel - Teardrop Earrings in Antique Gold
Shoes: Shiny Things - Ruffle Boots in black
