Bring On the Knits!

There is something about Christmas music that makes me unpack every knit, hoodie, and cardi I own and start wearing them, even if it’s only down in the 60s instead of actually cold. Apparently I have the same inclination in SL as well. *grin* When I saw a new item at Whimsical Designs along with a new group gift over at Carol’s Store, I couldn’t resist getting cozy in world.

Whimsical Designs came out with the cute Veronica Sweater in Glitter that comes with a HUD in the megapack (I swear that I own more Fatpacks and Megapacks than individual outfits anymore; you always have enough options for a seasonal look plus daily wear, so they’re totally worth the investment in my book). You can pair it with the Luna Skirt that is on display in the store with it, but I found that the sweater pairs with almost anything, and since I am in a cozy mood, I paired it with some leggings and comfy socks while hanging out at our cabin. The Luna Skirt is really cute too, with a sexy little cut up the thigh, and since Bre is so pregnant I’m going to hold onto that cutie for when the baby has been born and I can pair it with a cropped tee, I think. (I love versatility and am so thankful that designers are making mix and match pieces for the LoveMomma Body now!) Anyway, a cup of steaming tea in a rocking chair with cozy clothes automatically came to mind when I saw the sweater and I just had to share.

I really want to be in this moment IRL, in these clothes lol

I loved this pic that I wanted it to be my first, despite the leg going over the arm of the chair a bit, but wanted to show the sweater off a little better, so here’s one where Bre isn’t all curled up and chatty.

Like I said, super versatile and cozy! It was a blustery day in The Midwest, so I just loved how this turned out! If you get the Megapack, you get options for the green, grey, purple, blue, and a pink/fuschia. (Yep, I’ll totally do the grey sweater with some yoga leggings while setting up the new nursery area. I think it’ll be a perfect combo with more bang for your buck, or linden as the case may be. *smile*)

When I got the notice about the new group gift at Carol’s Store for a Winter Dress and saw that it was a knit design, I raced over despite the crazy region crashes today. *grin* Since the gift comes in Christmas red I thought I’d pair it with a set of Whimsical Designs stockings that has a choice of 4 tops (and can be tinted right in the AvLove Momma HUD too!) and some ballet flats from KC. By the way, if I haven’t mentioned it and you have an AvLove Momma body, I seriously recommend KC Couture for body-friendly shoes. They come in nearly every female body type it seems.

I’m not often one for a sweater or t-shirt dress, but it was knit and I’m a sucker for the cuteness. The hint of lace at the top of the WD stockings really amped up the gift, in my opinion. Thank goodness it’s not snowy quite yet! *grin* Anyway, I just had to make a quick post with these little cuties, especially if any LoveMommas are needing some cute clothes that work not just for the holiday season, but for winter, too. I don’t know about you, but if I’m cold IRL, I don’t want a cropped or ruffled top in SL, so some nice knits will pull me in every time, especially when I have some versatile options! Here comes the credit where credit is due…

Wrap Me Up in Luna

I was lucky enough to get my gaming pixel hands on the megapack of the Luna outfit by Whimsical Designs and loved the red option so much I decided Bre needed to go explore Luane’s World’s newly redone Le Monde Perdu in Autumn. This set is definitely a head turner for Halloween, especially on the LoveMomma body! I typically dress Bre a little more modestly, but wow, I just couldn’t resist wrapping her up in the saucy red print. *grin* Luna is 99L for each color top, skirt, or stockings (sold separately); giving mix or match options; or a Megapack of 8 varieties in 5 variations for 899L. I love the ability to change the top to solid black while sporting the fun patterns, so sometimes a fatpack/megapack is right up my alley, especially when it’s a themed item, since it’s too easy to wear a themed outfit once and then lose it in the recesses of the inventory instead of having ways to incorporate pieces into more outfits. Plus, there are multiple colors, so you’re not bound to what most consider “Halloween orange”, too.

Bre started the evening exploring near the landing point at the first strand of lights visible, since you know I’m a sucker for lights. *laugh*

I couldn’t resist adding the cute little black cat tattoo on the baby bump and twirling helped Carol G’s tattoo peek out of the sexy skull and crossbones pattern that I just adore in the Luna set.

I wanted to check out the windmill and noticed that this spot framed her really well while my usual Tuty’s Dainty AO had Bre making some adorable poses, so no poseballs or furniture used for this shoot! Just wait for Luke to see this Halloween treat…I mean, baby bump outfits are usually cute, not downright sexy like this and just waiting to be unwrapped!

At nightfall I found my way to a firelit gazebo near a rainy patch of the beach and managed to catch this model-type moment. The fire and LumiPro did a stellar job of showing that this combo is gorgeous from behind, too! Usually I make my laptop wallpaper into the latest cute SL family or couple pic, but I’m going to be admiring this picture for a few days. *grin* I personally love how it all looks from behind, but not in a creepy way. *laugh*

Bre ended the night watching the waves and rain at the sand’s edge. I couldn’t resist taking this last shot that gives a full view of the outfit, but also shows how it wraps around the body so well, even at 7 months along. With a little of the right lighting you get the chance to see the delicate side of this Halloween show stopper. Just be prepared to get some risque IMs – I warned you. *wink*

I look forward to swapping the colors of the pieces around after Halloween and creating some other enticing looks, especially for the Babymoon when Luke gets back from his mission. Hubba hubba. *grin* One of my favorite things about SL is that my alter ego gets to be the less shy and prettier version of the me in my head – I couldn’t have pulled this off so stunningly while pregnant, but thanks to Whimsical Designs and SL, I think Luke will definitely approve of this post and pack!
