Never let you down

More about Back to Black ... and I must say I liked the little note included by creators in their pack, talking about their own experiences with mental health disorders and also the "Did you know ..." cards.

Let me just show you one of those:
"The main characteristic of generalised anxiety disorder is a constant feeling of worry that seems uncontrollable as there doesn’t seem to be any reason for it. This worry can affect daily functioning and lead to withdrawal from social situations or fear of going to work. For a diagnosis to be made, worry must be present more days than not, for at least 6 months.

Let's not close our eyes on people who are isolating themselves.

Not So Vintage, Vintage - Pt 1

This cute top/dress from DCNY comes with capri leggings, but I much prefer pants, personally. The pants I used are Izzie’s tweed pants in black. Shoes are from HOC Industries. All three items are available at the Vintage Fair or their respective mainstores.



This set is from Orquidea but they are separate purchases. Pretty sure I’m allergic to the color pink, but I was this close *holds up thumb and finger measurement* to getting the pink set. The top does come with a “rolled” bottom hem on the shirt but I opted out of using it. Shoes are another set from HOC Industries. Both available at the Vintage Fair or their mainstores.



And last pic for tonight includes this really cute top from Sassy. I paired it with a skirt I found at Art Decade. Sassy’s Poet Shirt can be found at the Fair or their mainstore.

I also want to note that these pics were all taken in a gorgeous skybox available from look.sharp. It’s on sale (for $40L!) at the FTLO Black Market which opened on the 7th but I don’t know how long these run.

Despite fighting lag or massive crowds, what’s the best thing about fairs in SL? Easy! I find/rediscover some love for stores I’ve either never heard of or I haven’t shopped at/kept up with for a variety of possible reasons. I tend to brave through most fairs, but not all as some simply aren’t my thing. Vintage isn’t really my thing, either. As much as I love ancient history/medieval, retro is totally different and really not my style unless we’re talking boho/neutral hippie like, that’s a different conversation. Anyway.. I went, I saw, I lagged, I crashed.. and I shopped like crazy. For not caring much for vintage, even I’ll have at least two fair threads coming your way. Next round has some dresses from the fair, some boots and more info on the shoes I used tonight. I’m going to go sleep now!

Here's the Vintage Fair website, the slurls/map page is extremely helpful if you already know right where you want to go!
