The Practical Traveler

This next outfit is a great one for everyday use, whether you're building or shopping or just exploring. I have found that this a great go-to outfit in many scenarios, from parties to lounging around my house, and with a very low ARC and small amount of prim usage, you can wear this comfortably in any area and know that you are not contributing to the lag and don't have to sacrifice cuteness. The fact that you can get such a great realistic look using mostly just fantastically textured clothing layers is a tribute to all of the creators that made these items.

Again, ARC is different for everyone but I figure that whatever I'm getting is going to be at least close to what you will get with whatever your specs are. In other words, though the ARC may vary, I think you will still achieve a low ARC with this outfit (maybe even lower than mine!). My ARC baseline for this time is 43 when naked. Let's get started!

With all prim attachments, inc. hair and shoes: ARC 504, 158 prim


Sweater attachments contain scripts but they have a self-delete feature and you can still edit in build mode after deleting

There are 4 total scripts for this outfit: 3 sweater prim resizers (collar and sleeves) and 1 hair script to change hat color. The hair script is not deletable but the sweater scripts are. However, the sweater is no copy so if you delete the resize script you will have to edit the prims manually in your build menu. 

Hair - Tiny Bird - Have You Forgotten - Deep Warm Black: ARC 161, 69 prims
Sweater - GizzA - Argyle Suit DarkCream Female: with all attachments: ARC 55, 7 prims
Pants - PROZAK - Fat Cords - Brown: no attachments
Shoes - In Her Shoes - Sneakers Brown: ARC 245, 82 prims

I would also like to give thanks to the creator of the sweater, Giz Seorn. When I went back to GizzA to purchase a dress and had a question, her partner, who was at the landing point, called her to me and she was very helpful. Gotta love great customer service!

Once again, the In Her Shoes are free, but I encourage you to tip the creator at the shop for providing you with good looking free shoes!

Also, this time I featured PROZAK pants and I will most likely feature PROZAK again because I love the pants and they are FULL PERM and FREE. I did some research to make sure they weren't copybotted and discovered that the creator, Amiya Kimble, generously provided the line of clothing free and full perm to the SL community. Some people will try to sell you a wholesale PROZAK pack (which includes pants, shirts, shoes, and tattoos), and I think it's pretty rotten to try to make a profit off of someone else's work, especially when it was meant to be free and full perm to start with. You can get the full PROZAK pack for FREE here on Marketplace.

These are some of my favorite pants in SL because they're good quality, versatile, and modifiable so you can adjust the length, flare, and other attributes to your tastes. For your convenience, I am providing a box of the pants free and full perm (as they are meant to be) at my jewelry store under the info board. Please do not sell these on Marketplace. It's just not nice to profit off of someone else's work, especially when it's not meant to be sold.

Enjoy the outfit; I sure do!
