B@R- Bare Rose Has You Covered

One of the things that occasionally chaps my pixelated bottom in Second Life fashion is that sometimes bloggers forget that most of us are on serious budgets, so I’ll be reading along about some lovely flouncy mini-skirt for only [insert princely sum here] and have a cow, or a seizure, or both. Bare Rose, aka B@R, is the antidote to my blog induced cow seizure.
Look at the rocking dress above, for example. It’s called Golden Moon and for just L$140 it comes in SIX COLORS! That’s not L$140 for each color, that’s L$140 gets you all six. The colors are blue, gold (shown below), green (shown), red (shown), pink, and purple. The neck piece is prim, and simulates wooden buttons, and some braided leather knee and elbow wraps come with it too.
Now, as truth in advertising, I had to work a bit to get the skirt, which is a prim skirt, to fit right, and to make matters worse, the prim skirt is no copy, so if you mess it up, you have to fix it. The way I figure it, with six colors for just L$140, you’re bound to get it right with one of the colors. The avie I’m wearing in the picture is a little slim in the hips, which contributed to the problem, wider avies should be able to wear this with less editing required. And you will definitely turn heads in this.
Those of you interested in such things, enjoy this: The skins and hair in the pictures so far are all freebies or dollarbies. In the pictures above the skin is by B@R and is in their freebie section. The skin to the left is the Cornsilk Skin by SYD. The hair above is a freebie by Gurl 6 called Sugary, and the hair in the left is a freebie by Moonshine called Lizbet.
Now, those of you who know me know that a little skirt adjustment is not going to keep me from my appointed fashion rounds, I just thought I’d lead with the one dress of several that designer June Dion and manager Tori Heart sent over that I actually had problems with, because the rest are smooth sailing and fricking gorgeous.
To the left you see Moonlight from Bare Rose, and again, what a great deal. Five colors for just L$130! The prim skirt blends well with the fabric of the “pants” and the shirt, and the highlighting, texturing and design are all June Dion’s normal excellent work. And let me say it again, you get FIVE of these for only L$130!
Moonlight comes in Black (shown above), Cian (shown below), Green (shown below), Dark Blue and Pink-Purple. In keeping with my OMG look how good you can look for so little, the other things I’m wearing in these pictures are also freebies. The skin and hair in the picture above are the same as for the single picture of Golden Moon. The hair in the picture below on the left is from Uncleweb Studio and the hair on the right is from SYD.
The skin in both of those pictures is a mod of the Eloh Eliot skins I did. I try to be true to the spirit of St. Eloh by distributing them for free to anyone who asks. If you ever want some of my Eloh mods, just say so, and I’ll send them right over to you. (Sometimes my IMs cap, so if you don’t hear from me, say hello again or send a notecard!) Currently I have just two mods, both in the tan range you see here.
Finally, of the gorgeous stuff that June and Tori sent over (and I will be blogging more from them in the near future, trust me!) I found the swimsuit you see here, called Swallow. Swallow is a great one piece swimsuit with some gorgeous prim attachments that can make it so much more.
Swallow comes in four colors for just L$135. Along with the one piece swimsuit, which comes on both pants and undies layers, you get a prim wrap and a prim bow, and a matching bangle, flip flops and even a necklace! OMG, four colors, shoes, bangle, necklace for L$135!
So, readers, that’s what I found for you this week, and just because Bare Rose has so much stuff it can be overwhelming, as of the time I’m writing this, all three of these outfits are on display at the landing area at B@R’s HQ so you don’t have to go hunting.
This is my first post for Sexysecond.com, and I’m very happy to be blogging here. I hope to bring you clothes, avies, skins, hair, hats and accessories that make our readers feel sexy and won’t break the bank. If you have any feedback or comments on my blogging I would love to hear them either here on the blog or in-world.
