Summer Layers….

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I thought it would be fun to wear my strapless bra outside and pair it with my cropped top worn as a vest…it’s kind of a mouthful, isn’t it? 🙂 It’s been an exhausting week for me and the weekend couldn’t come quick enough!

(Nastygal Top, Urbanoutfitters bra, Topshop cropped top and skirt)

    Oh I love how you have that one pop of color against the black and white. And wearing the strapless outside? Genius! i must try that (maybe with my neon bandeau?)
    I hope the rest of your week goes much better, Shin!

    you know, this works! If someone had described it to me without a photo in hand I would have been like.."uh, what?" but This is so cute!! The pop of blue brings everything together.
