Dreams In Yesteryear

There is a grammatical error in this title, I think.  Dreams Of Yesteryear may be the correct way of putting it. But I feel that these two mean differently.  I meant to express that I'm living in the current day with imaginations and dreams about yesteryear fashion.  So is it correct to say Dreams In Yesteryear?

I love to dress up in vintage style, especially those post-world war two fashion eras, I find them to be very feminine.  But, really, vintage clothings from every fashion eras in the past are so significant that we could almost relate them.  If I have to relate a fashion in the recent ten years, my mind would draw a blank.  Fashion of the 90s?  How are they like?  




Now is the good time to go visit the Vintage Fair in Second Life which is still running until 29th August, as I did.  It's almost lag-free now.  The Fair is also streaming vintage music which makes the shopping experience very enjoyable.  

In these photos, I am wearing a dress from Legal Insanity which is only available at the Vintage Fair.  With a little imagination, I added accessories that pictured the 60s look in a similar era background setting of perhaps the only sim I knew of.  You probably have seen the same car in many other photos by other photographers too.  I wish there are more retro sims around the grid I could visit for photoshoots, dancing, and role playing.

Timeless Style

I'm wearing this new skin named Irene Skin created by Marisa Feila of MyDear Skin Store for the first time today.  It looks gorgeous on my shape and I'm so delighted as it fits like custom made for me!   I first knew  Marisa from Fashion For Life with Hygeia Skin.  You will be seeing me more in skins from MyDear now. 

This vest is absolutely fabulous!  Made of sculpty and high quality texture by HelenSue Helendale of DEW Designs.  With the current craze on mesh clothes, I almost got "fooled" that it was made of mesh until I checked with the designer.  The vintage-inspired vest has a script for resizing, comes in 3 colour choices - white, brown and black.  All the colours are gorgeous!

Completing this vintage look is a pair of fine quality mesh boots from J.H. Couture.  I love this look I've put together, do you?  (= big grins =)
