how would you do it?

Currently obsessing over this dress at Zara:


I tried it on and let me tell you, it is heavenly.  It's silk, but some odd stretchy slippery non-wrinkly weave of it that makes the dress feel and look totally every day wearable.  So what's stopping me?  Well, you can't tell from this photo, but it is very very sheer.  Like, seriously sheer.   And that sexy slit goes waaaay up the thigh.  So, I ask you dear readers, what would you do?  Let's say you're like me and have no intentions of baring it all.  Would you wear a cute little full slip under it and just let it show and embrace it?  Would you layer it over a tank and leggings?  Over slim cropped pants?  There's got to be a way to make this happen.

On a side note, some of you may be wondering, does this girl go to Zara every day?  The answer is a resounding and embarrassing "pretty much".  I live in the center of Madrid and there's one on my way to anywhere in any direction, so most days I just nip in to see what's new.  So yes, there you have it.  I'm a chronic shopper.  I'm also a chronic debater of purchases, and a chronic returner, which makes the chronic shopping much easier on my pockets.  But for now, just tell me how to wear this dress so I can justify another purchase please!

  1. I love its simplicity and the fact that you can pair it with a ton of different shoes and bags. Stunning. Thanks for sharing the photo and feel free to drop by me too, soon.

  2. I was eyeing this dress too! Yeah, it's super sheer! You can get a simple slip and wear underneath. Any neutral colour would be good, I think.

    Or boy shorts? And a tank top?

  4. well for starters: it's gorgeous and fabric looks indeed delicious! It's a shame it's so sheer, although sheer fabrics ar also very "now". I think it's perfect as a cover-up over a bikini or maybe with a bodycon minidress underneath? Good luck with it ;)
