This week on the Cool Beans Blog is something new! The Tweenster Mix & Match. My girlfriend, Akiko, recently switched back to Tweenster from her AVI(L), enjoying the wide selection and variety of clothing types and designers. I’ve not kept up with Tweenster since it hardly needs my help promoting it. It’s probably in the top five avatars in SL. But Akiko’s fresh looks did catch my attention and I thought why not feature her particular fashion sense in a new Mix & Match series.
Hair: “Gala” by Rezology
Head: “Pink” by CATWA
Glasses: “Nerd Glasses” by Mad Mesh
Body: Tweenster by Meshmerized
Skin: “Minji” by Pink Fuel
Top: “Hoodie Sweatshirt” by INSPIRE
Pants: “Wrinkled Pants” by INSPIRE
Shoes: “Sneakers” by Flavia Designs
Purse: “Emeline Bag” by Dolly Daydream
Honestly, my favourite part of this mix & match is the average “everydayness” of it. It looks like something you’d see anyone wearing without giving it a second thought. This isn’t to say that it’s plain or uninteresting. It is comfortable. It is casual. It is normal. A lot of fashions in SL tend towards the fantastic. This is fine unless you wish to be more casual or common or just part of the crowd.
I also love the bag. I’ve got to get that bag for myself!
Next up is Akiko’s club life look. This top is perfect for a rave, a night out with friends, all kinds of events, or just looking and feeling good when you’re up late doing math homework. Paired with these pants, some of the edginess of the top is reduced and helps to make the whole outfit fun and flirty without leaning toward full on sexy. The sneakers compliment the look with the white in the sole working nicely with the water bottle in the bag.

Akiko’s last look is mostly her take on Dolly Daydream’s Emeline set. But it’s still a mix and match as the set comes with a number of different colours and textures. Akiko continues the black & white theme, adding legwarmers and mary janes to finish out the look. The Emeline Bag comes with the Emeline set and is the perfect match.
I have to say the Mitten Garter is absolutely cute beyond compare.
Of all of the looks, this one is my favourite. And yes, it is probably not as “everyday” as the first look that I fawned over, but it’s still 10 of 10 for style and dare I say, Akiko adds a certain grace to the look.
I won’t go so far on this blog to recommend the Tweenster but damn there are some nice fashions coming from a variety of designers! And at the price point the Tweenster retails, it’s not hard to imagine more than a few AVI(L) body swapping just to wear some of these great new fashions. I mean, it won’t surprise you to know that I have a Tweenster myself. For fashion purposes only, I assure you.
Anyway, thanks to Akiko for modelling these looks.
And don’t worry, I’ll have an AVI(L) mix & match on the blog soon.
