“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
Do you agree with this quote? I have something nice to say about this dress, but I also have something I dislike about it. Should I say nothing at all?
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel Skin
Exile – Locomotion
Emery – Eva Dress (Sea) Small

I LOVE NEW HAIR!!! This new Lizzy hairstyle from Monso is an adorable updo with bangs. This hairstyle has materials, which can be seen if you’re using the official SL viewer. Since the last hair release, Monso created a new hair HUD and made new hair colors! Yay, I love HUDs too.
The HUD also has a built-in re-sizer.
Materials! It’s shiny and more prominent under certain lighting conditions. I moved my Sun/Moon slider around to show you guys how the lighting affects the texture.
Katat0nik released the adorable Tulle Skirts! When she released the Imaginative School Girl Outfit last month, I fell in love with the Tulle skirt, so I asked for it as a separate item. I’m thrilled she made them, and even included a texture-change/tint HUD. I didn’t wear it in my post, but you can also get a free add-on waist band that goes with this skirt too.

I really like this sculpted Tourist Jacket from Friday. I love the ruffles detail on the collar, and how it opens up in the front. I didn’t know what to pair this with, so I wore a simple black bra, and black shorts. I think this would work great with dark pants too, if you can find a pair of pants that has a similar texture.

I went to Elope Expo a couple weeks ago and ever since then I couldn’t stop thinking about doing a wedding look in SL. The problem is I didn’t feel like hunting down the perfect chapel backdrop just to take one photo, so I just added one with AI instead. I think enhancing SL photos with AI is fun, and clearly a lot of other residents do too because I see it everywhere on Social Media now. Some people are still loudly against it, but most people really don’t care. They just want to relax, be creative, and have fun. I’d rather someone recycle in real life than make “not using AI” their moral high ground.
Anyway, back to Elope Expo. I’m genuinely impressed by all the beautiful wedding content SL creators come up with. Even though partnering in SL has never really been my thing, I still love the whole wedding aesthetic. AI altered some of these details a little in my photo, but I’m wearing the Aveline Cathedral Veil from Purple Moon with the new Yara hairstyle from Mina, and they go perfectly together. Both are available at Elope Expo.
I also picked up this gorgeous Seraphina Dress from Eternus for only L$90 at the weekend sale. I always need more gowns, and I couldn’t pass up a deal. Now I kind of wish I bought the fatpack too, because this dress is seriously beautiful.
Should you still credit SL items if you used AI to edit the photo and things got altered a little? I think so. You can still judge the items for yourself and recreate the look if you want to. The final image is still like 90% the original styling anyway.

A couple of days ago I posted a teaser image of the newest KA Designs Stacie skins. The skins have just been released and they were worth the wait. I’m loving this new face and the fresh glowy skin tone. Each skin tone has 10 makeups and 1 no-makeup skin, 3 different brow color choices, and hair base option.
If you like Stacie, visit KA Designs 🙂
Chaisuki has just released the 'Nova' skins. The makeups on these are gorgeous and has a great tropical punch to it, perfect for makeup lovers! I'm wearing the Chaisuki Nova skins in Light skin tone for this entry. I just love how perfectly the eyeshadows matches Shine's Lustrious eyes. YUUUUUUM! So realistic.

Though I do believe “If don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything at all..” I also believe that “Honest is the best Policy” and would think that the creators in SL would appreciate such feedback…
However as long as I’ve been following your blog I have also come to realize that whenever you do say something negative about some creations someone always has to say something to defend the person behind the creation and that sometimes can cause arguments on the post. Which “IN MY OPINION” is a bit uncalled for because well everyone has an opinion. Say if I didn’t like something I’d say what it is I didn’t like but be quick to mention that it is just my two cents and don’t want to dissuade someone from checking out a creator’s store.
I guess its just kinda a tricky road for bloggers. =/
You can’t win 🙂
You might want to start with that hair first, but yes the dress isn’t very good. No reason why you can’t say how you feel, other than the creators might be ignorant and block you from their stores. Some bloggers do that too though when you leave replies. It’s sad people can’t just take the criticism and move on. Try being in front of the public professional offline daily with all eyes on you tweeting good and bad, then it makes stuff like SL and bloggers look so very small in comparison. I say go for it!
This quote is for sensitive people and I don’t agree with it. So tell us what you dislike about the dress 😀
I saw that dress from a distance at uber and was like “wtf, it looks like a scrubs top.”. It is definitely not up to their usual standard of releases and I do love Emery! Maybe the creators are overextending themselves? Lately some of the releases have been a bit lackluster.
(Obviously I don’t agree with the statement, LOL).
I’m with Sella, honesty is best. But, we should define honesty in opinion commenting.
I like chocolate over angle food cake. That is personal preference. Saying angle food cake sucks is not what I consider honest, not intellectual honesty. Saying ‘I’ don’t like it is honest.
