How much have you changed since you started SL?

Layla in 2009 and yesterday. I used to dress Layla mainly in 1940s and 50s style clothes. When I came back to SL the clothes shops I used to buy from were no longer here.

On day 1 when I started with my first account in 2006,  I picked up a freebie outfit with a black leather vest, white shirt, blue jeans and red & white sneakers. That outfit kinda became my trademark and I wore it a lot (with updates as mesh became a thing) It was my standard daily outfit when I wasn't doing something formal or fantasy. For most of this time I was also a neko. 

2006 & 2011

Slink introduced mesh hands in around 2014, thats when I lost my right hand.

 

Still classic in 2017 & meshed-up in 2018. 

In 2018 I discovered the Chiaroscuro community and started getting much more adventurous with fantasy outfits and different looks. Fae, Mer, Demon, whatever. 

Halfway through 2019 I decided that I could get a broader choice of fantasy outfits if I got a Maitreya body (with V-tech) so I could wear female outfits too. And since then I swear I've worn my male body maybe twice or three times at most. Hooo-boy did I like this!  It took a while to settle on my particular look, again having trialled a number of heads and skins to try to get as close as I could to that 2018 face above. Ended up making my own skin because female skins were too soft and pretty. I did not want to look like a girl, I wanted to look like a guy who was trying to look like a girl. Even now you'll find me with some stubble on my chin more often than you'll find me in makeup.  This is me earlier last year with my custom skin.

I graduated from V-Tech and flat chest to Petite, and then eventually to neither, and now I have boobs too, and lately I've switched (albeit not fulltime) to Belleza Isis, primarily because I can get a thicker, more muscular shape with it than I can with Maitreya.

My day-to-day fashion style now is mostly sporty, I often wear crop tops and shorts or mini-skirts. I like to show a lot of skin (it took me so long to make it, I wanna show it off) so I dress as bare as I dare for wherever I am.  I still love my old leather vest though...

 

 

 

 

Love your looks! Belleza Isis body is my favorite for the reasons you've said

I don't think my avatar has changed that much.  Most of my old pictures are on my old computer but I found some searching for flickr for my OG avatar (and for my OG flickr account) Mostly it's just been updated to mesh and I probably wear a wider variety of styles but I'm pretty much the same. I don't know what that says about me. The first picture is all the first stuff I ever bought. I know the skin is SLink and the hair is from Devious Kitties , and I think the rest is from Ivalde.

Second is my well into my purple skin & wings phase

 

And then more current pictures of me.

Thankyou!  That last photo is actually Freya, not Isis (the outfit I'm wearing doesn't have an Isis size) but I can get very close to my Isis shape using Freya too. Fortunately the Belleza bodies are on sale so I picked up all three for basically the price of one.
