And Now For Something Completely Different





Scouring thrift stores for vintage items has really opened me up to wearing things I never would have dreamed of putting on before (including a shirt that previously had someone else's booger on it. Yup). This dress is one of those items. I'm not a fancy girly dresser at all, but when I saw this dress, I knew I'd have to wear it at least once. And so I did, with absolutely no accessories besides my kinda greasy hair. I kind of dig the simplicity. The dress seems perfect for a casual, outdoor autumn wedding. You know. Minus the fact that it's super sheer and you can see my undies.

How's your weekend going?

Dress: Thrifted, you can purchase at my shop!
Shoes: Steve Madden

  1. LOL at your post! (Especially at the booger. Ew.) The same thing has been happening to me throughout my thrift shop addiction.

    I love wearing white, but yeah -- the whole see-through thing makes me shy away from white pants, skirts, and dresses. Then again, I had a really embarrassing situation with a see-through black skirt, so I suppose there's no color that's totally fool-proof!

  4. sexy seethrough guuurl and the dress is gorgeous and I would totally buy and wear it all the time. Add some boots and an oversized knit vest and a knit hat and it's really not that hard to style!

  7. Some items aren't clothes, they are experiences. They open the door to a new adventure in life. They transport us to new places. Whatever the metaphor, I know what you mean. This dress does that.

  20. I love the elegance of that dress and how you styled it by just letting it shine- greasy hair is all that was necessary :) And since when is wearing a white sheer dress to a wedding inappropriate? :)

  21. I can totally see your undies! The perfect accessory! Ha ha! You look gorgeous my dear and I love seeing you in something a little different! It has such gorgeous details!

  22. I was just going to say that i could see your undies but then did not think it would be appropriate but since you said it i'll just confirm it.
    It's a nice dress.... i think vintage opens our eyes to other possibilities.

  24. I had a dress very similar to this for my engagement party way back in the 80's.
    I loved that dress!
    I love the black shoes with it.
    I think I wore white shoes with my dress, but I really like the black.

  25. This is a gorgeous dress, shame about it being on the sheer side. You could be totally ballsy, throw on some neon underclothes, chunky black booties and an irreverent attitude and just go with it!

  26. As I wrote that last comment I was uploading some pictures from my camera. I just noticed my white bra-under-black turtleneck caused my own wardrobe malfunction. DARN!
