Pixelapproved!

Today I have a little helper with me, Aardvark‘s Sweater Cat and while he’s not particularly helpful, he’s for sure photogenic!! I bet he’s after the string of lights on my neck though!

My starting point for today’s look is Bold & Beauty‘s Taylor skin, worn on LeLutka’s Avalon. My eyes are from Avi-Glam, from the Honor collection,and my Shaia hair is from S-Club.
I’m also wearing Sorumin‘s Holiday Glow sweater, which comes with the little light strings and which you can add if you want to wear them, or not, if you’re a party pooper!

I kind of like what i put on this morning, pairing Sorumin‘s sweater with Ison‘s patent leather Anika trousers, and under that, The Kiwi Co.‘s Advent Calendar Boots, which you can get when you are in the Mad Pea Advent calendar thingie!

And all of a sudden, while trying to make a close-up of these cute boots, I noticed why I often have issues with my poses. Lots of them don’t have both feet on the ground, or worse, they are not putting weight on the supporting leg, but on the moving leg, That is so weird! The flat foot should be on the ground, and with the other leg, you can accentuate the pose, not the other way around. Posemakers, please pay attention to this!! Take a look in the mirror when you make poses and take note of how you are actually standing. Pose buyers, The Alchemy viewer, Black Dragon, and soon also Firestorm have built-in pose tools to correct these issues, or change an existing pose to fit your photography need!

And with that, we go back to today’s look(s). As a more formal look,which I figured comes in handy with all the December festivities, I went with the Cara updo, also from S-Club and for my eye make-up, I picked a gift from Alaskametro<3, the Lenore eyeshadow, because the hues are so dramatic and the waterline is perfection. On my lips, a shade from the Isis palette from Traditional Face. For my jewelry, I picked the Drip earrings from Sigma, as well as their Alysse choker. On my finger, Ginza‘s Trésor ring.

For my outfit tonight, I turned to Just Because. I bought the Marilyn gown and gloves during the Black Friday sale, and while I do not often wear formal attire, this does make me feel really pretty and chic!!
