Options for classy clothing?

Persona!

I am totally in love with the clothes at Mimikri, very fashionable and many different styles

/me whimpers....no more suggestions! I'm going broke! lol

Try Kunglers also.

I had posted a similar post to this one not too long ago. After checking out some of the stores people suggested my pockets were hurting...still are.

That's when you start joining the Freestyle and Fabfree groups so you can get notified of all the freebies from those stores

/me is taking notes

Try Second Wave Apparel (well done casual), Callie Cline, Stiletto Moody, Maityera (check spelling), Yuli, Nicky Ree.....
Join one of the many fashion groups, they are great for finding any style you want.

And visit my blog! http://virtual-freebies.blogspot.com

Yes, that was an unabashed plug. But it's a not-for-profit website so I consider it an act of charity

No

Eeek, don't get Ann started on Stiletto

Ok well first of aside from the fact that Stilletto Moody is expensive shoes (which I adore), not clothing (although they did just add some lingerie, correct?) I haven't heard Anns beef them. Now I'm curious.

Agreed. We had a wander through, and I thought their entire range was a load of old nonsense.

Sleazy business model;
Overscripted;
Mostly stripper shoes, albeit for the well-paid in that field;
For the non-stripperish shoes, similar style/quality items can easily be found elsewhere for half to a third the price.

I'm bothered by Stiletto's garish soles (the bottom of the shoes, I mean). At a distance, they seem to be the most visible part, especially if an AV is dancing or moving around.

For my money, Shiny Things and Maitreya, anytime.

EXCEPT! Yesterday I came upon a freebie at Maitreya. Their Limelight model in 'zebra'. What an absolute horror! It utterly underscored my point that the habit of giving away crappy product is a sure way to hurt a designer's reputation.
I'm not saying that people should give away their top product in order to show off their stuff, but surely it's wiser to design a freebie that is representative of their quality.
Had I seen these marvels on someone before ever going there, I would have given Maitreya a pass.

They're supposed to represent the Christian Louboutin shoes, which in RL have red bottoms and are very chic and expensive.

Made your point. I agree many are stripperish, and I stay away from those. Oh wait, I do own 1 pair, however, I did buy them on purpose at one of their sales for a reason - to be stripperish lol. I specifically wanted a pair of F-Me shoes, since I can't wear them in RL at all. So sue me

However, the new boots that came out about a month ago? The texture is amazing. And I have yet to find basic pumps with as wide range of colors, which look half as good on MY feet. I usually wait until one of their secret sales, when they are 30% off although I did pay full price for the boots.

I've looked elsewhere, at many of the stores others have mentioned over and over again but just haven't been thrilled. To each their own I guess.

Elora, try KSG Shoes. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Aloha%20Business%20Park/168/213/23

Ever since I discovered these shoes (and they have a beautiful blue peep-toe freebie), I have been in love with them. I've bought 4 or 5 pair now. If you'd like to see them on before actually buying a pair, IM me inworld tonight and I'll be happy to show them off.

Hey Honey. Actually, I know them - I have that blue peep toe and I do like it. I'll have to go back and take a look around the whole store, I haven't been there in a very long time, since I got the free shoe. Thanks for reminding me about them

I never used to be a shoe person at all, people used to make fun of me because of it (Brenda particularly if I remember right), until I discovered Stiletto, and a few other places that made some really lovely boots (I do, enjoy boots!).

I also need to take a look at your shopping blog! I totally forgot you had one also. I sort of remember looking at it when I first came here, bookmarked it someplace and it got buried in my regular email. Glad that you gave yourself a little plug today to remind me of that as well!

have you seen the pumps at my store which are color change?
that would be a lot of color options hehe

Duh - another store I haven't visited in a while.

/hangs head in shame

Rha, if you are inworld, or remember next time you are send me your landmark, ok?

Awesome! I'm actually supposed to become an affiliate for them, but I think that fell between the cracks somehow. *note to self...investigate

i didnt hear anyone mention ice..she has some lovely things

not in world at the moment, but when I am I will drop the LM on you (while you are at the store, be sure to check out the renters outside, some really cool stuff out there too) plus it is just fun to walk around hehe

Many good answers here. Thanks to you all!

To add my two cents about Stiletto Moody: overpriced. Anyone who has shopped around knows that their shoes are too expensive, even when you consider color-changing.

oh dear I forgot to send the LM, I am so sorry, got caught up with the hunt preparations and it slipped my mind (plus I am retexturing the outside of the buildings and such)
