Hello Darlings,

Sheer was seen all over the runways for a few seasons, however it is definitely becoming mainstream. Although I understand the appeal of this super sexy trend, I've been wondering whether an everyday woman can pull off this look,including myself. There is a fine line between trashy and sensual...however, how do you know when you've crossed into the wrong side???

Lately, I've been obsessed with semi-sheer tops, including my favorite from Club Monaco as well as simple tees from Talula Babaton. There's something beautiful about the lightness of the fabric and the way it drapes over the body. So my love for semi-sheer has finally encouraged me to give this trend a try...

Last night, I was getting dressed to go out with Andrew for late dinner and drinks... and it seemed like a pretty good time to venture out "semi-naked". However, I decided to play it safe by wearing a sweater over a simple semi-sheer tee and pretty black graphic bra...

Personally, I think this trend is best kept for night outings, since it gives that little something to an otherwise a simple outfit. And probably the most important part of wearing sheer is a pretty and well fitted bra!

This is a love/hate trend for me... I love the look but to a certain degree I hate the feeling ... you know the feeling that makes you stop for a minute wondering what exactly you're thinking and wondering why you're stepping outside your boundaries. But then again what would fashion be if we didn't experiment... this is my experiment!!!

 

I am wearing: Talula Babaton Semi-Sheer Tee; D&G Bralet; French Connection Skirt; Wilfred Sweater; Gold and Platinum Necklace; Amber Gold Ring ( a family jewel); Michael Kors Oxfords.

So, do you love or hate the sheer trend? How do you feel wearing it?

At first I was nervous stepping out with my bra visible, but with the cover of a sweater weird looks from people were seemingly avoided... So I actually felt confident wearing the combination. The tee is not too sheer, but gives the perfect amount of glimpse of the lace and graphic details of the bra. Would I wear this again?... yes, I feel comfortable enough with the sheer trend and think that it is an easy way to spice up a simple going out outfit. I don't know if I would wear it out during the day... but everything is possible, you just have to wear what you feel like.
