I remember a time, when someone asked what you were wearing to an event, the standard answer was, ‘jeans and a shirt’! It was that simple! Who would wear anything else? And back then, if the wide legs didn’t cover your entire foot they just weren’t wide enough! Oh…..and the waist…..the jeans HAD to be high waisted! The minimum was up to the bottom of the ribs…but higher was always a bonus! Were things simpler back then? Yea…I think so….not better or worse, just simpler. There was no cell phones to look at, no social media to keep everyone preoccupied, nothing was instant or fast, and there was never talk of the busy lifestyles people have! People were just as busy, but there wasn’t the constant reminder in the media of how you need things fast and simple to fit into your life. Maybe fast, easy, and instant aren’t that great! Maybe we should be taking time to cook a meal, sit with family while eating it, and having everyone gather dishes and get the meal cleaned up! Just sayin’!

When I saw the Corduroy Flares from {MYNX}, all these thoughts came into my head, with a huge blast from the past! I chose to wear the grey pair, mainly because back in those days I did have a pair of grey cords! Although I don’t think I looked this good in them! 🙂 The cords come in six colours and are fitted for the Maitreya, Belleza, and SLink mesh bodies! The pack comes with two pair, one for flat feet and one for the high feet. The Corduroy Flares are available at The Crossroads!

And the shirt to go with my cords is the Aztec Loose T-shirt from TETRA! I came across TETRA while on my Fifty Linden Friday shopping spree and could have walked out with one of each item in the store, but managed to keep it to just a couple purchases! The pack comes with two tops, one with the print and one plain. It’s fitted for the Maitreya, Lara mesh body and the SLink mesh bodies.

The Christmas season is the BEST time of the year for Hello Dave fans! There’s the Christmas Advent calendar for the VIP group members at the main store, so drop in every day for a new and exclusive seasonal mini palette. I’m wearing one of the five selections from the December 2 prize. You can get past palettes if you miss a day, which is a bonus! Also, down below on the Moochie sim, the Hello Dave Christmas Hunt is on, there’s twelve palettes to find. Each one you find will give you the hint to finding the next. The Moochie sim has been transformed into the ‘Tis the Season Winter Wonderland, so just being there will get you feeling festive!

The NO.SHELTER hair, from the blacks set, is from NO.MATCH.

As per usual, I have the Alex mesh head from Logo on with the Irina skin in pale tone from itGirls. I’m also wearing the Lara mesh body from Maitreya, and the elegant1 hands from SLink.

I’ve used a pose from don’t freak out for the main picture and the side shot is a pose from Diesel Works.

I’m at the Salt & Pepper main store for these pictures! The sand dunes have been replaced by a fresh layer of snow!
