Put Some Exotic Color in Your Life

Dear Shameless Gossipgirl - Second Life Advice that’s Worth Exactly What You Paid for It

Dear Shameless:

I was reading Devi’s post about returning from vacation, and I must admit even though I’ve been SL shopping like crazy, I still have the post-vacation blahs. As you know, I’ve returned from the tropics, where everything seemed exotic, colorful and bright. In keeping with the visuals of the flowers, the birds, the lush scenery that surrounded me, I wore bright orange lipsticks, silver sandals and sarongs that seemed spun of of hibiscus and sunshine. I have become used to this exotic color, and although I love my SL wardrobe, I would like to brighten it up a bit. Yet I know I can’t keep wearing my sarong and kebaya about. They are starting to stare at me at the grocery store. I know you usually come to me for fashion advice, but I’m really jet lagged and can use some ideas.

Very truly yours,

Dear Got the Blahs,

I say, don’t put away those silver sandals and orange lipstick! Remain bright and sunny wherever you are. The answer is Zaara, where they “blend indian craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.” Yes, you CAN have c olor without looking like you just stepped off the boat from Goa or Rajasthan! Though nothing wrong with that either - this is SL! And you are just in time for a 50% off sale of designs that will soon be retired. But if you do nothing else, join the Zaara Update Group, so you can pick up the group gift at the main store. Though Zaara is known for color, this little number is black and gold, and I have not taken if off since I first felt the silk tickle my skin. I may be buried in it! Hope this helps, Sapphire.

Your friend,

Shameless Gossipgirl

P.S. The group gift, though not colorful, is still exotically beautiful. It has an Indian flair but you could wear it to a Manhattan book party.
