Feeling Like Fall

 Not an official part of the Road Trip series, just a pose/outfit combo I picked up last autumn - then I ended up not even unpacking the set, much less using it. 😵

So! To make up for that, it's fall leaves time! 

(Not-so-fun factoid, I had all the style info for this look written up in a notes file, and my computer decided to fart it out into the ether. And as it turns out, I had forgotten to save the outfit - probably because I'd already taken the picture. Soooo I can't for the life of me remember which face skin I have on for this shot, apologies to its creator.) 

A Little Natural Zen

Not all of SL gets taken over by winter decor to match the actual-world season, and I'm very grateful for that when I need a virtual summery break. There are so many areas of the grid I still haven't seen, and new ones popping up all the time.

(In this case, I just searched "nature" and landed in this lovely spot called "Buddha Garden")

February Fugue

 The second half of February kind of went by in both a rush and a daze for me; the anniversary of an emotionally fraught event falls in there, some RL stuff (helping a friend move, being even more short-staffed at work due to co-worker medical issues, etc,, and The Typist getting hooked on a new video game. possibly in reaction to some of that stuff). 

There's no location for this shot, as it's a set put together on a friend's bit of private land, with items from the February Shop & Hop, and items from a couple of weeks' worth of weekend sales.

What I Didn't Do Before

 

Got this tank top from the Shop & Hop event - and honestly? I think this is what was wrong in my previous turns in SL: I came in seeking external validation and not respecting and loving myself enough. (To be honest, that's still a big work in progress - but I'm trying.)

Just for the record, though, you can love yourself dressed up, too!
