I think it's so
simple in Second Life or any virtual world to get a bit caught up in building a
fashion wardrobe, a style of your own. Perhaps to buy all kinds of clothes and
shoes you could never buy in RL. In my real
life I'm not much a fashion and shoes girl to be honest. I grew up with a
modest life finances wise therefore I learned to appreciate what I have for
what it is. That's not to say I don't go gaga for some awesome clothes, boots
or high heels in my RL. I too can go bananas for fashion.
Second Life
being user friendly for creation and creations being user based leaves our
world wide open for a ton of fashion from diva to down home country girl/boy
and everything in between. But does this mean that said fashion needs to cost
you a small fortune? Of course not. There are plenty of SL designers who offer
quality clothes and shoes at fair prices easy on our linden wallets. EC
Enelya's Creations by Teslinne Quann is one of my absolute faves. Very high
quality looks for between 99 and 100 Linden. With some designs also in the
101-500 L range. EC Enelya's Creations can be found here on Marketplace: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/35849.
And here in world http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sant%20Sebastian/130/141/702.
Another
designer with lots of style for low Linden is ADN designs by Adabetha Nayl with
many lovely looks, most of which are full outfits ranging in price from 1 L
upwards to 250. All designs look just as awesome in world on your av as they do
on marketplace. To find ADN on market, look here https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/58702

For those who
do crave well done clothing at more of a mid price scale but nonetheless worth
it, there would be Graves Quality Fetish & Cyberpunk by Jackie Graves. On
marketplace Graves price range goes from around 150 L to about 999 L. I truly
have no complaints with the two outfits I have of Graves...love how they fit
and love how I feel in them. So there is definitely something to be said for
higher priced clothing as well. To find Graves on market look here https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/20249.
For her in world store go here http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Oxymoron/56/103/31.
Beautiful Sin
by Pebbles Rockin has some very lovely silks and other clothing. With prices
that range from lower end such as 149 L and upwards around 897 L on market I
would feel right in saying there may be something there for just about any av
when it comes to cost. The designs are definitely unique and decently done. To find the store on market look here https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/13372.
In world I found that prices may vary but fatpacks come up in the range of
anywhere from 5K in linden all the way to 8k plus in linden. For in world
shopping go here http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Beautiful%20Sin/142/99/1002.
It's this
reporter's opinion that rather you have the budget to buy everything in the
highest of fashion or you limit yourself to the finest of low cost, promos and
freebies, that you truly can look great for low cost. While I will not knock
spending thousands to look good, I simply feel that you can achieve even a high
quality look without spending so much. And as the old saying goes "beauty
is in the eye of the beholder." Shouldn't that hold true for fashion as
well? If you love your style and you're
rockin that freebie, I say go for it and don't change a thing.
