Trouble brewing

My final yukata from the (now closed) Japonica event is this “loose” full length Yukata from ASO!, which drapes a little at the neckline and reveals just a small amount of leg at the front. It is tied with a simple sash (texture change). I thought this slightly messy forward ponytail from barberyumyum went with it well; on a hot night you want to pull your long hair out of the way and reach for a fan to cool yourself. The picture was taken at the dramatic Kagami event.

Mysterious

I’m still working my way through my haul of kimono from the Japonica event. This kimono from Silvery K is available in several colours. Each kimono comes with a HUD that enables you to change the texture of various parts of the obi and obi ornaments. If you buy the fatpack you get a huge variety of possible combinations. I am posing at The Stage event in the mysterious forest. There are shopping booths, of course, but also a very atmospheric/ spooky setting. You can see the kimono colour more clearly in the 2nd picture (taken at the Liaison Collaborative, where I bought the first pose)

Yukata

The Japonica and Okinawa events have provide lots of temptation to buy kimono and yukata, and I had trouble narrowing down my choice to 3 or 4 that I would buy. Firstly, there’s a yukata from Agata in fresh crisp cotton. This was my choice of several patterns. It is actually only for Maitreya Lara, but since many kimono have similar shape, I was able to use an alpha from a previous kimono! I have been wearing this LODE hair wreath for a while, and I thought it picked out the pink blossom motif on the yukata nicely.

Matchy

I had been waiting for an excuse to buy these Schadenfreude shoes in this pattern, and I love matchy matchy so when I put on this sakura-blossom-scattered skirt I zoomed over to the Schadenfreude Elephant immediately. A perfect match! You’ll notice that the adorable Monso hair matches too. Of course I also match the scenery: my cherry blossom season in SL lasts from March to June and I’m not ashamed of the fact.

Flower fairy

I dug an old pair of glossy wings out of my inventory to celebrate the fact that spring has well and truly arrived. I was also celebrating a very pretty top and maxi skirt set that is available for the classic avatar body as well as mesh bodies (at Sanarae). Each set has 2 skirts and two tops so you can mix and match. I love, too, this kawaii pink magical girl lanyard that I picked up at The Epiphany

In the forest

Taking a stroll amongst the wildlife at the very cute Bloom event. I managed to pick up THREE of these forsythia boquets whilst trying for a forsythia wreath in the LODE gacha (oh well, they’ll make nice presents….)

Thinking about my shoes

I managed to be fairly restrained in my visit to Shoetopia, but I couldn’t resist these elaborate “Charm” heels from BAIASTICE. I’m still enjoying !gO!’s boho gachas: my cardigan and maxi skirt are from the Hippie gacha at Shiny Shabby. Under them is an old shirt from Zaara (the Mishti top) and boho leggings from Alaskametro. I piled on the Tuareg necklace from Yummy, Earthstone’s Krishna Harmony Ball necklace (it tinkles), and Schadenfreude’s String Thing bracelet (at collabor88). Also wearing:
