Do a search by name in both your recent items and objects folder. Your avatar will probably be boxed and you will have to open the box on a land where you can rez objetcs go to a sandbox if you don't have a land of your own). Click right open > copy to my inventory > then righ click the shape and skin and choose "wear".

See here for more about opening boxes:
