Pink is Pretty

Since SL is borked, I rummaged in my photo folders.  Totally forgot that I had a "pink" moment a couple of weeks ago.  While on my weekly shopping dash to Hatpins, I just swooned over the dark rose pink of the Lady Nellie.  All shiny ribbons, jewels and a touch of gold netting in the back made it just perfect.  What to wear with this tophat which doesn't fit my usual steampunk copper and bronze colors?  Catching up on reading blogs, I had missed ~silent sparrow~ special offer of a (Geist) Batty Suit on xstreet so with a click I had a new outfit.

The uni-sex suit was toned in white velvet and brocade.  On a whim, I very carefully made copies of the outfit.  Tinting the suit was entertaining though I'm sure Hya would have died at some of the colors I clicked on! Finally, a muted dusty rose complimented the Lady Nellie hat. Pink is pretty!

Shoes - Shiny Things - Tuli pumps in silver

Enjoy the party pictures!

Just to show the formal version with a modern touch, there is a black bolero jacket you can wear with the ballgown. Peeking out from under the skirt, is a Shiny Things Tuli pump in silver.  I have these shoes as my "go-to" shoes in black, brown, red, and silver.  The bows are color changeable so these work with just about every outfit.

The jacket detail includes an ankh - the Egyptian symbol of the key of life.  That sounds appropriate for Second Life.
