Dressy on a cold day...?

Pink wasn't usually her colour of choice... Ravenclaw blue was what she was proud of whereas pink was the colour of prissy, simpering girls from houses that cared. But this dress was well worth a squeal or two in a high pitched manner

Sculpty and Flexi Skirt Available - Sculpty shown

It was definately a contender for the hearty party... but why save a dress for an occasion? Accessorise it up with a bit of this and that and no one would even realise she'd worn it before when she turned up to the dance!

Don't you just LOVE those tights?!!

Slipping on a chunky knit sweater it was worthy of casual attire. In the common room she felt the queen of casual chic though on entering the grounds she realised chic did nothing to deter the biting cold of a Scottish winter!

Bloody Hell It's COLD!!!

So she decided to just save the dress for now and go around in her lazy overalls and jumper.... it's warmer!

Yeah... this is less chic more warm!

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Week 6

It's sunday again! Hogsmeade has been and gone so she's just left with a lazy Sunday filled with hurried homework in front of the fire in the Common Rooms, the only issue being if you need a book one would have to go to the library which is FREEZING (and she means freezing!). Wrapping up warm was the best option, she shrugged on her warm cardigan and pulled up her thick socks, a nice floaty skirt in alice blue seemed to finish off the ensemble... oh yes geek chic she could do... probably a bit more geek than chic though some would say!

Her blouse was probably a bit thin but winding up the tye for her cardigan she shrugged and decided no one would notice that, so she headed off to the library to find books for her herbology homework... or was it Defence Against the Dark Arts?! She reminded herself that during the NEXT hogsmeade visit she would pick up a diary to note down her work in..!

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Week 5

Another early morning in Hogwarts and the snow is still falling, so taking refuge in the warm Great Hall waiting for a hot breakfast. She toyed with the idea of wearing her new earrings to class this morning though she sincerely doubted any Professor would notice she didn't want to risk losing them for being too ostentatious..
They were the colour of her aunt's roof back at home in Sheepy Magna... the copper roofing had lasted 6 generations with the lovely patina covering that developed years before any of her currently living family's birth and Nanny Rushby of her Father's Mother's side was well into her second century!

Sighing to herself, she took her earrings out and after stuffing them into her cloak pocket she summoned her normal earrings from her dormitory room and popped them in. Thankfully the arrival of food on the table before her distracted her from her wussiness of being unable to break the rules.... that is apart from the monseigneur... no one had yet found out about him..!

Having a lazy saturday

It's early on a Saturday and Saffie can't sleep. She loves saturdays for so many reasons, the main one being no classes and therefore no uniform! It would probably be a good idea to wrap up warm though, it's still a very cold winter and Hogwarts is up in Scotland and completely covered in snow!
The problem is, though, mother has still not sent on Saffie's gloves, she left them behind after the Christmas hols, she knew she'd forget something but didn't realise it would be something so important! Maybe she can get one of the Ravenclaw girls to knit her a pair....
Until then she'll have to wait for the snowball fight one of the boys suggested! And she definately can't have a snowball fight with her nails done so well!

A bit o' 52 weeks and a bit o' H: YS

I've joined a new roleplay sim called Hogwarts: Your Story, it's based on the Harry Potter novels but 21 years on from the books. The sim is absolutely gorgeous and this is a quick picture of Ravenclaw tower with Saff being a member of Ravenclaw house. The sim is members only at the moment but The Alley Shoppes can be accessed by everyone for uniforms and the like!
[find uniform credits at the bottom]

So it's come to week 4 of the 52 weeks of colour challenge and this week's colour is iron, now Luna's iron is quite pale whereas I see iron being a dark silvery-grey
So my iron contribution is this tee-shirt dress and ma silvery school shoes!

Also, below, is one of my new weekend dresses as during the week and in classes at Hogwarts full uniform is required but I thought I'd go shopping for some tasteful dresses and some nice warm socks!
So Many Styles is having a sale so I thought I'd get some pretty outfits from there. I particularly adore the beautiful emerald dress, the ruffles and high neck make it less "sexed up" than most of the clothes on SL and hopefully make me look more like a 14 y/o!
