It’s another Friday, lovely readers! Woohoo! I hope you all have wonderful and/or relaxing weekend plans. I’m hoping to hole-up for a bit with my bf and eat some delicious food stuffs.
What do you ladies and gents think of this dress below? I bought it at UO on sale earlier this summer and thought it was the perfect summer dress. I tired it on in the deceptive low-lights of the UO dressing rooms- perfect! lovely! couldn’t be happier! I tried it on at home and realized then that it was quite see-through. Boo. My somewhat successful (read: ghetto) solution was to stick a matching halter under it and wear a nude colored body stocking thingy. Not exactly the perfect summer outfit when you have to add a few layers to it. However in the photo below, I look quite pleased with my “ingenuity”/I blinked.
Even with it’s high maintenance tendencies, I still kind of love it because of the slashing action in the back. Also, as Fall creeps up on us, I’m clinging onto summer in any way I can- and you can’t mistake this dress for autumnal- even with the layers. This is a salt-breezes, sun-on-your-skin, toes-in-the-sand kind of dress. The last hurrah of summer!
p.s. Any readers from Milwaukee? Cath is there this weekend on a business trip. I miss ya, KitCath! Bring me back some cheese, please 😉
Oooh I love it a lot! Too bad you had to stick some layers on it so it was more wearable but we’re heading into fall so I guess you would have to do this eventually anyway! The colour is lovely and it even perfectly matches the blog!
The dress is a beautiful color and your solution works perfectly!
awwwwww cutie! love the outfit.
ps i posted the pics of my chair and bracelet. come by and check it out!
YOWZA! It’s way too revealing for this little prude, but you’re totally rocking it, Lar.
Cool and sexy dress!
I love it!
and the colors is beautifull.
Kisses!
oooooooooh, I love it.the back detail is super cool!
I do like the outfit. I could never wear it, so higher kudos for you, Lar.
BTW, I added you back to the blog roll! I changed my layout back to the bird theme just so your link would show up!
xo.
Gorgeous color on your dress!! Check out my new site: http://www.fell4fashion.tumblr.com 🙂
Cute! I dig the ingenuity.
What a great color!!! Have a great weekend!
That dress is amazing!!! I love the color and the slashing! = perfection
This is different. In a good way. Usually, I only see slashed clothing that is black, white, or gray. It is very refreshing seeing it done on such a great hue as this.
i was born in milwaukee, but i live in florida now. love the back detail of the dress!
The colour is brilliant! I need to hunt down something similar for my Melb summer 🙂
Bisous.
Hi there-this looks great, especially the back of it! Have a great weekend to you both!
Breezy dress.love the color on you! The slash at the back tempers the sweet in a good way.
Happy weekend!
I love that drape of the slashing. The looser fit prevents it from looking too sexy and the color is just light and perfect.
I would be shocked at the surprising sheerness too! I bet it would work with a contrasting tube dress underneath too. Or maybe a fun colored slip. The color is great on you though!
I just realized today that I hadn’t read any Asian Cajuns in a LONG time and just found that I hadn’t added your new blog to google reader!! I’m happy to see you are still blogging frequently and that it was only my mistake 🙂
Hope you’re having a good weekend!
There are a lot of sheer & see-through things around currently. And I’m always making the same mistake as you. It’s so fantastic! The colour is so shockingly icy, and the exit – what a surprise!
great dress and solution! i love the color too! so sad that summer’s over 🙁 hope you’re having a great weekend holed up. i was holed up watching college football with my bf today since it was cloudy here by the beach!
Love the dress but I understand the see-thru angst. Nothing worse than seeing that it’s see-thru and having to problem solve with your grandmother’s ankle-length slip from 1967. Obviously, your solution is much chicer.
