Stranded at the Drive-In
By Justine Babii | November 18, 2007
Before I get rambling on my “stranded at the drive-in” story, here’s a really cute vintage sweater that just came in from Marlys Vintage Clothing. The sweater is called Sol’s Equinox c.1966 and I just love it for fall! It has sculpty prim cuffs and collar and just sings of the 1960s. You can’t see with much detail in the picture, but I’m also wearing a cute necklace from Marly called Poo’s Perfume Necklace. The sweater is only L$100, or buy four colors of it for L$325. The necklace is L$150. There is an equally adorable Poo’s Perfume Bracelet for L$100. (The jeans in the picture are the freebie jeans by Callie Cline available from the Fashion Avenue of the CSI:NY area which I highly recommend along with some other great freebies there like the jewelry pack by Caliah Lyon).
I went to artilleri to poke around this weekend and it ended up being a longer stay than I intended because teleport went down while I was there. Rather than curse the darkness, I decided to rummage through my inventory a little and take some pictures because artilleri’s build is so great. I started with a shape from RaC and modified it a bit, then added their Tess skin. I’ve seen a lot of avies look great in RaC skins, but I was never able to get that same effect with mine until I tried their shape too. It was totally different than my normal look and I must say I enjoyed not being me for a while.
I tried on a tattoo called “Scream” by Addixion and a little half tee by Neo, which is also sold at the Addixion store, all of which you see in the picture above. I love the attitude in the t-shirt, and the tattoo work is nice. Scream sells for L$650 and comes in several versions. The tee is L$95. One thing that the picture doesn’t show, but I absolutely love and have to show off, is the great pair of plaid sneakers I’m wearing from Tomboy though. If you’ve looked for good canvas gym shoes or sneakers, depending on what you call them, try Tomboy. Theirs come in 14 colors and each color comes with multiple sizes and tied and untied versions for only L$240 a color.
Feeling a little retro at artilleri, I dipped into my inventory and found Louna Lollipop Cobalt Dress, also from Marlys Vintage Clothing. I stuck with the Rac skin and shape and then added new hair from Bewitched called Crystal. Crystal is L$195 for five colors and comes in an insane number of colors. I love the way it looks, especially the spray of bangs, but I wish it worked better with my shoulders. Of their new releases I like Bridget, which is a tied back super curly hair, and Rumor, which is just super fun curly. Eventually teleport came back to life and I was able to get back about my business, but it was certainly nice to be able to relax, have some fun with fashion, and look forward to sharing it all with you!

Is the Tomboy store open? I went to the sim and couldn’t find the store anywhere. Help!
