I grew up playing sports, so the term check-swing has an immediate sports connotation for me.  However, it’s also the name of this gorgeous coat I picked up at *COCO*.  I know I’ve been blogging *COCO* quite a bit lately, but the new releases at *COCO* are spot-on, and I love them.  And you know what?  I’m getting tired of hearing all of the rants about fashion bloggers consistently wearing items from the “big” stores.  Hey!  Guess what?  They’re “big” stores because they make amazing items like these.  And if I could make anything in SL that exhibited a mere fraction of the quality of items I’m seeing at *COCO*, AOHARU, etc., then I’d certainly want people to buy them and wear them.  And I hardly think it’s appropriate to discredit talented creators just because their shops are well-known and/or well-blogged.  /end rant

Anyway, as I mentioned before, I picked up this awesome swing coat from *COCO*, and it is amazingly well-made.  I thought it would look great with this gorgeous fringe tunic from SUGARCUBE, which I’m wearing as a dress, and I think the two complement each other well.  I added these awesome leggings from :: DUTCH TOUCH :: and these amazing boots from *REDGRAVE*, which are not new by any means but they are still pretty fantastic.

For accessories, I found these incredible No. 131 earrings at *kraftika jewelry, and the Lucky Horseshoe bag from ::: B@R ::: is a great fit for this look.  The hair is the new Tallulah hairstyle from >TRUTH<, which I absolutely love, and the skin is my faithful -Belleza- Jesse.

And one more mention: Katey Coppola of Glitterati has just opened her new sim and new Glitterati mainstore with a ton of new releases, and these poses are a couple of them.  Honestly, these are my first Glitterati poses ever, but I tried every single newly released pose, and I’m really in love with all of them.  Katey has done such a great job with her new releases, and I highly recommend that you go check them out!
