Trendspotting-Wearing Lingerie as Outerwear

Wearing Lingerie as Outerwear done right, to me is a fun play on sexuality and fashion.
Spring season is steadily approaching and I am already thinking of some fun ways to revamp my "style persona".

Why should lingerie only be worn for late night rendezvous for only the men to see. It is now time to show off our undergarments for everyone to see. (I know I sound like I want to walk out in a see through teddy.)

Lingerie worn the right way is ubberly sexy and fun. As pictured Johanna, from Lookbook.nu has a high waisted pencil skirt, blazer, and layered necklaces displayed the bra as a top rather than a something that should be worn to bed.

I know some ladies are not that bold to show off their mid-section and completely expose themselves. If you are a more reserved fashionista such as myself, wearing something see thorough is little more your speed.
Wearing a nice sheer button up shirt would be great to still be able to show off your garments without feeling completely naked. And wearing a nice loose fitting tank top in the summer is also another great way to pull this look off.

But please be careful if you are going to wear a bra as a garment make sure the material and structure is correct. Never go for anything sheer. You can have a nipple slip without ever knowing. And please make sure you have the correct size bra, nothing needs to have the possibility of falling out and being exposed.

So all you ladies that have thought about showing off bras, I say open those shirts and let those puppies breathe. LOL!!!

Below are some choices in some playful yet feminine bras that can easily be worn as garments.

And I have to ask are any of you FOR or AGAINST this TREND?

Shirt Dresses Under $25

The Shirt Dress is casual yet chic. The Long Men shirt trend is a absolute favorite of mine. Adding a belt creates a refined feminine spin on what is personified as masculine. This is a great transitional piece from summer to fall. Adding a pair of leggings or tights can make this a versatile all year around item of clothing. These ladies in the pictures below are some great examples of how this trend is done correctly. Below are some affordable pieces to add to your wardrobe.

I have selected a few from Aldo's summer collection.
