The From Drab to Fab Challenge!

So Saki and I were sitting around bored this morning and we decided what better way to kill a couple hours than with some good old fashioned shopping. Then we added a twist..we went back to the old basic first day in Second Life Avatar. As if that wasn't bead enough we allowed ourselves 20 lindens a piece to do it, and we couldn't dig into our vast inventories for even a landmark, nope it was 100% via the SL search. I'm going to post some photos here and then I Will give you lovely people a link to where you can pick up the very same hotness that we found.




OK so this is our "normal look, that's me on the left, and Saki on the right





We went from that..to this which pretty much every female starts with at some point.


After a few hours of shopping, we managed to come up with this. No it is nowhere near our normal selves, but the challenge was 20 L lol. I would like to thank the designers who took the time to design all of this stuff and then let us have it for free. Now that the gratitude is out of the way, let me get you the lists of whats what and where to get it!

On Saki:
Ill have to fill you in because she took off for the day without telling me where she got all of her fabulous things. That by default makes me challenge winner!
