The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring?

I always thought that lilacs bloomed in May, which happens to be one of my favourite months, but apparently Mimikri Kit had other ideas when she created this luscious little outfit way ahead of time? I bent the (self-imposed) rules of buying cheap because I truly NEEDED (like water to a dying wench) to have this ensemble. I feel certain there is some understanding about that? There is, surely? /me sighs...

Rightio... on with the important stuff. *Mimikri hot couture* has long been a favorite of mine and always produced some bloody fantastic pieces of clothing, with great flair and a keen eye for unusual trends. Mimi puts out lovely freebies too, and is a very approachable lady as she enjoys a chat with her customers if she's not too busy. The outfit comes in a number of very sultry colours, and is a lovely texture of extremely sparkly sequins. The skirt can be worn on its own with a plain top, so would be great to mix and match with other stuff from an inventory, making it very versatile. It also has that great new high waist on a jacket layer, giving even more options. Skirt comes in at L$150 and the jacket at L$110 so may be a bit beyond most newb budgets. Sorry folks.

However, at her Rue D'Antibes shop there is a gorgeous little posh frock for L$1, and while you are at it make certain you check out all of this sim. There is great shopping to be had, and it is a lovely place to meet friends for a stroll. Both the necklace and earrings were from the Rue and were a L$1 each (I ain't saying where, as it'll make you look).

My hair is from BP*, a grand little shop in Osaka with some cool lucky chairs. I just loved this style as it's quirky enough to set off Mimi's Joy outfit and give it a 20's twist. Available only in black and L$100 for two sizes in the pack. Osaka is definitely worth exploring as there are lots of things to be had for very little, and it is a lovely, lovely place too.

The shoes are from ETD, as blogged previously, and are the Heel Strap Platforms in steel. At L$175 I think they are a bargain - still! :D
The back view of the skirt and jacket, showing that unavoidable fault of system skirts i.e. making even a sensibly sized arse look as if it is akin to a continent.

Skin is the S.Y.D. Autism freeb.

Have a great time searching, exploring and shopping, my lovelies. Byee. xxx
