//// Sun dressing

Posted on | July 24, 2010 | 5 Comments

Uh, there is not much happening here, fashionwise. The summer has been exeptionally warm and I’m shuttling between home and the nearby parks in old sundresses, sloppy shoes and sunglasses. This old Zara dress is one of my favorites, the sturdy guipure lace upper fits perfectly and the straps have actually nothing to do with keeping the dress in place. The material is very lightweight cotton silk blend, heavenly in the hot weather.

And when it goes even more casual: cut offs with slouchy tank tops. I love the tie dye in this American Apparel one — and the cut is excellent. A bikini top or an exposable bra is essential underneath (at least with my sense of modesty) — and I like the addition of sheer bra peeking from the arm holes. My Bodas jabouley lace ones and this neon purple Monki mesh bra (a bargain from Monki Helsinki opening — but excellent fit, I’m certainly getting more of these!) have been in constant circulation.

I got one thing from the sales, though. This mohair dress is from Ivana Helsinki and I have been stalking it since I found the pictures of the collection from the Copenhagen fashion week. Well, actually this was not a sale purchase, but a sample piece that miraculously fitted relatively well. Couple of days ago I saw a girl sporting the same dress in different color — but personally I don’t have the nerve to use this kind of material in this weather. So I’m just saving it for the autumnal layers…

Mä ostin myös Monkin avajaisista yhdet rintsikat, ja ne istuivat hyvin, kunnes kumarruin ensimmäisen kerran eteenpäin… mutta täytyy tulla vielä kiittämään sua American Apparel –rintsikkavinkistä! AA:n mesh-rintsikat istuvat mulle loistavasti (ja näyttävät hyviltä vilkkuessaan topin hiha-aukoista).

Heh, mulla ei taas ne AA:t pysy päällä — mutta ongelma on ehkä se, että L-koossa kuppi sopii, mutta ympärysmittaa on liikaa.

White is such a safe bet in summer!
