After the events this week in our country, I need a bit of distraction from my brain and emotions. I decided blogging this outfit and listening to 80’s music would be a good way to accomplish this–it’s true. It is definitely helping my mental faculties relax since I suppose you can consider SL quite an escape from reality!

Shopping is also good therapy…though I bought everything in this photo before Tuesday.

I don’t normally go for clothing with a military feel, but this outfit from Uber caught my eye. Fishy Strawberry did a wonderful job creating all three pieces. I think this might have been my first time buying a hat in Second Life in the 8.5 years I have been there. The great part about this one is that it’s color change!

It was fun going pose shopping for this outfit as well. The funny thing was, I was wishing that I knew of a place that had poses with a bugle. Coincidentally, I went to the 50% off pose sale at {Nantra} and I found one! It couldn’t have been more perfect for what I wanted to do.
