Sexy Lexi

Is there such a thing as too many options? I suppose that depends on a) how fast you need to dress and b) how indecisive you are. ;) With INDI Designs latest release, Lexi, it definitely took me a while to get dressed, because there were so many great options to choose from. But too many? Oh no, it is most certainly worth the effort.

Style Notes & Slurls

Skin: Siren Tone 3 Berry with Corset Cleavage by Adam n Eve
Hair: Stephanie Black by Jolie Femme
Clothes: Lexi Burgundy by INDI Designs
Accessories: Tia Wine by Adam n Eve

Lexi blends Grecian/Roman drapery with tight, sexy pants, corsets, belts and wonderful leather details. The combinations shown in the image give a good sense of what’s included, but of course there are more variations available since you can mix and match all the pieces with each other. There are plenty of layering options included too, making it easy to mix in pieces from other outfits as well.

The texturing is beautifully touchable, with the leather being particularly impressive. Designer Jamie Holmer is very good at creating the illusion of depth and of layers with nothing but system clothing. However, she also creates some excellent prim work, such as the shoulder drape and the sleeve for the white top. What a great way of accomplishing asymmetric sleeves.

The version shown here is Lexi in Burgundy, which is available only on Xstreet. Jamie made Lexi in Brown and Blue to start with, and then she got requests for Burgundy as well as Black. The end result was that the Black ended up in the store and the Burgundy on XStreet. I am not sure whether or not it will stay on Xstreet given the upcoming changes there, so if you like this particular colour, make sure to grab it sooner rather than later.

INDI Designs also released their De Luca boots in Burgundy to match this outfit, but I am wearing the Tia boots from Adam n Eve in Wine, which also matches very well. My skin is also from Adam n Eve, its the lovely, exotic Siren, and I am wearing her on a shape I’ve made specifically for that skin and which I believe will be offered as a Beating the Monday Blues item from Adam n Eve for next week.
