Last night I attended a preview show for Second Style’s Spotlight III Fashion Showcase (which is happening tonight at 5:00 pm SLT here), featuring designs by several brands including Alaska Metropolitan of OPIUM Everyday. Other fashions in the showcase from: Devilish Cupcake, Sheer, and Chapeau Tres Mignon.

Alaska recently updated her line of affordable casual wear, and attending the spotlight prompted me to take a closer look at what’s now available.

I was very impressed with the simple, quality and completely affordable outfits for sale. I think the highest priced items I found there were 200L, yet so many of the designs are classic staples - little black dresses, tailored suits, detailed lingerie and even one fierce bikini.

These are all very low or even no prim fashions - allowing you to accessorize to your heart’s content. In fact, if you plan on attending a fashion show for example where the lag promises to be hellish, you can still look put together without the prims.

Starting with the most basic of basic, the “Basix” suit with jacket and dress trousers - completely simple, but nicely detailed and affordable for everyone.

The trousers are no prim - so add, sheer stockings to fend off the never ending ankles that SL so lovingly gives us. Both the blazer and the trousers are nicely finished with drawn cuffs.

More after the jump…
