NEONY...

After contemplating fr the better part of the hot part of summer, I finally caved and bought this bejeweled neon number... It was one of thse outfits that I carried with me to the fitting room, 'Just to see how it hanged on my frame' and actually pleasantly surprised me!



Dress - H&M Conscious Collection

What one doesn't realise in the brightly lit cubicle, is how transparent this dress really is! I remember my sister asking me where I would wear it, and I answered 'to the pool and back' and she just went banana's because I was, according to her, 'wasting a faboulous dress'.

I agree with my sister, the dress is perfect though for pool side days and or cruises / yatch days, although it can work for daytime. Here's my question, does any one know how I can make this dress less see through? and if you suggest a pettit coat, please let me know where they still sell that stuff :)

  1. it depends how long and fitted the dress is... i'm picturing it worn over blue denim cutoffs slightly tucked-in on one side with heels and perhaps a blazer hung over yr shoulder...

    or u could layer it with a slip underneath... think u can get in lingerie shops or on ebay.

    love the colour!!

  3. I'd just wear a chemise under it and call it good! It's so pretty!

  4. This is such a pretty color!! You might try layering it over another dress? I think I've seen some petticoats at mod cloth...

  6. Well, now I know why you aren't wearing it on the picture. Love the colour; must look great on you. Really like oomph's idea with a petticoat-something.

    PS: New blog so couldn't use the Google account. Still thepoundkey though. :)

  11. That dress is gorgeous! Wouldn't american apparel have nude body con dresses you can wear underneath? I agree with your sister! Wear that thing OUT :) I love how the embellishment on the neck looks like a necklace :)
