Lingerie as Outerwear: Bring On The Colors




I was wandering through my local market the other day and I was blown away by all the amazing colors and textures at the ceramics and glass blowing stalls. The artisans were able to blend and mix a stunning palette of shades, without overwhelming the piece as a whole. It was just the inspiration I’ve been looking for now that colored denim is back in a serious way. I left thinking that I had to try it out with our next Lingerie as Outerwear outfit!

I’ve been waiting for just the right moment to use this stunning Fair Verona babydoll in an outfit and these super bright Habitual skinny jeans are exactly what I was hoping to find. By blending the neutral tones of the babydoll, the Modern Vintage boots and the Just Cavalli jacket with the highbeam, attention grabbing colors of the pants, jewelry and the Vivienne Westwood bag, we achieve a complex balance worthy of those artisans. Plus, a pretty feminine look for a casual day of sightseeing and enjoying the sunshine.

Kinda makes you want to get out of the malls and check out the markets doesn’t it? Especially when you can look this fabulous doing it!

1. Fair Verona Bed & Breakfast Babydoll: Doesn’t this babydoll just remind you of everything soft and sweet on a summer day? The floating hem and touch of girlish frill on the bodice are far too pretty to keep indoors. This babydoll makes a fabulous warm weather top. 

2. PAMELA LOVE Lapis Cut Out Ring: The shape of this ring is just so cool. The bronze cutaways echo the decorative design of the Vivienne Westwood bag and will have everyone asking for a closer look.

3. JUST CAVALLI Leather Biker Jacket: This stylish contemporary jacket is just about as cool as they come. The sturdiness of the leather is the perfect backdrop to the more ethereal nature of the babydoll.

4. YVES SAINT LAURENT poppy ring: The glossy red sheen of this ring is a real eye catcher. Pair it up with your ruby red lips and you have a winning combination.

5. Habitual Aaron Rolled Skinny Jeans: A quick blast of color on your legs is the perfect way to welcome in summer.

6. Harlette Northern Lights Tie Me Up Bra: Okay, I have to admit, this is really just another excuse to add in some more gorgeous lingerie. But can you blame me? Look at how beautiful the frills and the halter neckline are!

7. Modern Vintage Carina Bootie: These booties are nice and neutral, but maybe it could be a wee bit fun to liven them up with some red and blue laces.

8. Vivienne Westwood Harlequin Bucket: This bag just pulls it all together, now doesn’t it? A whole lot of color and plenty of room for all the nice bits and pieces you’ll find at your local market.

9. Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm: Some moisture and a quick zing of color in Two Ton Tomato. Just that and a smile are all you really need to make this look work.

10. Dirty Pretty Things Vivian Pale Pink Thong: A little DPT goes a long way. Sometimes a few pretty pink details and leopard print fabric are just necessary to finish off a fabulous outfit!

Why not take your lingerie out to your local market and enjoy all the colors of summer this weekend!
