Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, many many years ago, as some really old GCDers may remember (-shakes my cane at you all-), I had a male avvie with a somewhat regular look. Over time, my avatar look (And gender...and species...) changed to a somewhat more mono chromatic look, but over time, I have also attained items that were much closer in look to what I had originally intended for my avatar.

And given what looks used to be for users 5-10 years ago, I was wondering what other's looks would have evolved to if they had kept old styles, but gone with new items for upgrades or slight changes?

So tell us, my fellow Gaians, what would your looks of yesteryear look like with new items and Hairstyles? What items would you have used from today to make changes to the items of yesteryear? Do you still have a place in your heart for those old looks?

(For reference, this was as close to layering tektek could get, and apparently, my old goggles were a no go.)

And now, the updated look, more or less.

Another example from another user!

Too bad we have to resort to body mods instead of having the avatar system reworked like they did way, way back.

Old stuff is so bulky. I try to stay clear of them.

I still have all the items from the first dream avatar I quested. It's a cute little matchy-match thing with suspenders and heart boxers. I put it on around my Gaia anniversary. I have updated it a little, mostly with items that I could never afford in the beginning like a chain wallet and of course my devil tail/HotD combo.

I got stuck in the matching thing for a long time then I slowly started moving toward a character base look. I have a lot more fun with my avatar than I did back then now that I see him like one of my dolls.
