Tartan Twist

The group notice from caLLie cLine introduced her latest design “taRty paRty.”  I didn’t even look at the photo she sent along and I barely read the note…with a name like that, I knew it was going to be one of those outfits I would buy in every color and live in for days.  I was right.  I teleported over still wearing the mishmash of an outfit I’d worn to Queen Coronet‘s Rezday party the night before, said hello to Callie and bought the fatpack before it had even fully rezzed.  As I stood there talking with Callie and trying on the new outfit, I heard her say, “Oh, I love that!” before I could even take off the rest of the outfit I’d been wearing.

And she was right!  The beauty of caLLie cLine’s designs, in general, and taRty paRty, in particular, is the ease with which you can mix and match it into your wardrobe.  It looks just as good dressed down with a mini-hoodie and hotpants (which is what I was wearing when I got to the store) as it does dressed up with nylons, heels and fur wrap.  Or mix in one of Callie’s Snow Baby Forever Sweaters and a scarf for frolicking in the snow.

The tartan plaid dress comes in 7 colors and the top, both with and without the zipper detailing, comes in shirt and undershirt layers.  The prims on the skirt are set away from the body and are close enough together that you don’t need glitch pants.  In the same room, the blue one to the right as you enter the caLLie cLine mainstore, you will find some great new jewelry from Georgiabean Lately by Babyhoney Bailey.  I bought ALL of her rings and then some! Don’t worry, though, I have a special post just for GBL in the works at this very moment!

I’d spent most of the previous night running around AM Radio’s gorgeous sims, so I knew that’s where I wanted to take the photos for this particular outfit.  Then a friend passed me the landmark to the Macbeth sim, which was the perfect location for the Black and White version of the dress.  I took a bunch of pictures, and you can see more of them on my Flickr stream.
