One of the Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trends is using Lingerie as outerwear, a bit risque for this country but with some adjustments, we can actually wear this trend without going overboard.

First step is identifying what makes a lingerie. Anything lacey, transparent, satin and pair it with more solid fabrics.

Second Step is to keep your accessories to the minimum. Lace is enough to draw attention to you and pilling on the accessories will just make the ensemble so confusing. Imagine wearing a Satin top and having bling on the ears, neck and arms? hmmmmm. OTT

Third Step is to keep in mind that showing skin within reason is fine. Look at the mirror and when you feel uncomfortable then its probably too much skin. When in doubt why don't you put on coat?

THE NEW ROMANTICS IN BLACK AND WHITE

I love finding rare items especially when they are reasonably priced, so, while I was looking at my closet to find something to wear for work, the lace trimmings of two of my skirts caught my attention.I purchased both skirts in a flea market in Manila in 2005 and I am happy to say that they are both still in mint condition.

I though of naming this post as The New Romantics because lace and eyelets always reminds of romance, walks in the field on a sunny day. I think this is the feel that the white ensemble evokes, whereas the black ensemble resonates a little more vintage feel a la stepford, perhaps its the pearl necklace. :)
