Sheer Maxi Dress: Cotton On
BodyCon Dress: BEBE
Belt: J Crew (work backwards in some photos)
Shoes: Stuart Weitzman
Straw Bag: Unknown
Scarf: Cejon
I contemplated buying THIS $79 skirt from Zara for a couple of weeks, but didn't pull the trigger. Last weekend, I came across this sheer maxi dress on clearance, for only $10, and immediately had an idea. I added a simple white bodycon dress underneath the sheer maxi dress and recreated the look of the Zara skirt. I'm so in love with the result that I plan on sneaking away from work to snap-up this dress in some other colors.
I wore this sheer maxi dress + bodycon dress combination to people-watch and grab some TCBY over the weekend. It was the perfect outfit to beat the heat and an excellent double duty outfit (just remove the sheer maxi dress and you're ready for a party). Above all, this combo gives me some new ways to wear the mounds of flimsy bodycon t-shirt dresses I've accumulated from my semi-misguided youth :).
Love,

ReplyDeleteI love how you compiled everything together. The color of the stones in the jewelry was an excellent pick!
