The husband was taking these photos of me and all of a sudden says, "I can see right through your shirt!!" Yes, yes, that's the point. Clearly this is not office appropriate, but it's the quintessential summer outfit. I struggle with lace tops - I think they are so pretty, but I kind of hate the look of a tank or cami underneath. I think it kind of ruins it. That's where this lovely bandeau comes in handy. If you remember, I bought this thanks to my sister in law and talked about it more here.
Now, all I need is a day off and barbecue to go to!

They're pretty great, I can't lie. Thank you!!
DeleteHaha! My husband says the same thing! They just don't understand fashion! I am right there with you though, I hate the look of wearing a cami underneath a lace top.. so either a bandeau like you did or I avoid them. Love today's look! Especially those sandals :) <3
ReplyDeleteHope your having a great week!

I don't mind it if it looks like the cami is physically attached to the top, but when it's obvious they're two different pieces, it can be distracting!
DeleteThis is such a beautiful top and I love how you made it less sweet with the denim shorts and sexy wedges.

Sweet + edgy is a combo I love doing! Adding edge for surprise and interest!
DeleteLove the contrast of the lace and denim! Such a fun look!

Thanks! I really love this!
DeleteGreat, after reading your post an Erica's comment now I am self conscious about wearing a cami under a lace shirt! I may be making some returns.... Love your tee & shorts thought! They look so short on the express model but perfect on you!

Thanks! It's been so deathly hot here so this outfit is perfect to beat the heat!!
DeleteLove the mint top and the bandeau peep through!! SO summery and so pretty!! Absolutely stunning with the Valentino's!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, girl!
DeleteI love the mint version! I have this same top in white and adore it. I was hesitant to purchase it because of the length, as I'm not generally a crop top gal. I love that this one can actually be tucked in though which is how I've worn it. I always wear a light cami underneath see-through tops because I'm self-conscious but I think a little bandeau would be really cute too. Just need to get one!
ReplyDeleteI love that you tuck yours in! Had not even occurred to me, I will have to try that!
DeleteThe top is gorgeous on you, I love the color and that necklace!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! And thanks for hosting!
DeleteThis top is so cute! I love the color! Those shoes! So jealous!

Aww - well thank you! The wedges are so fun! If you ever come across them, you def need them :)
DeleteHaha that is so funny that it took your hubby a bit to notice that the top is see-through. Too cute. =) I do like this layering on you, Carylee, and I agree it is a great summer look!
