Most who know me know that when Dakota Buck releases something new at Savvy?, I take notice. I’ve had a love affair (sorry Blue Hair) with her layers, casuals and colors perfect for matching since the beginning. My love affair continues with ‘Kota’s first foray into formal wear … and it’s a beauty.

This is “Janine” in signature - a color combination appropriately named because when I first saw it, I thought, “those are absolutely Savvy? colors.” This elegant number also comes in other rich colors (shown below), and all in beautiful silk fabrics with perfect transitions from prim skirt to bodice. The gown is accented with gold ribbons - the straps and bodice, culminating with a skirt-length gold ribbon that sets off a very dramatic open back. As it happens, navy and gold was also my favorite.

Dakota also released her “Angry Leggings” that ironically, made me quite happy There are a gazillion legging in SL but none like these that I have seen. You can wear them on their own or under your favorite mini, shorts, etc. I love the laces and little flexi ties at the bottom. These surely make leggings less basic.
