I LIKE A LITTLE TRASH WITH MY CLASS

Lucy Foil Dot Bra top, $23.10 (on sale) by Son of John, from shopbop.com

I won't sugar coat it: I'm certainly aware of the propensity this red foil-dot print bra with ZERO in the way of support to appear somewhat... hookerish. But I'm starting to think that's what I like about this little number. Not that I try to dress like a lady of the night, but who doesn't want to have their own Pretty Woman moment? CASE(s) IN POINT:

ROMPER RAPTURE

Keep Me for Bop Basics, $85, available at shopbop.com

I have a straight up obsession with one piece-outfits. I'm not sure if its the ease of wearing one underneath clothes as a sort of base garment, or the comfort of lounging in them around the house, but it's getting to be an issue in my life and/or shopping excursions. I'll be in a store, shopping for something entirely unrelated like socks, and some how I'll end up with a jumper on one arm and two rompers in the other.

Note to self.... no, you cannot always wear an adult onesie.

I posted this one because I've convinced myself it could function as a sort of quintessential wardrobe piece- used to layering under sheer tank tops or peek out of leather skirts and skinny jeans. But I am aware of the very real possibility that this is probably just my rational brain trying to justify lazy dressing...

CUPIE-DOLL-CUTE + MY DILEMMA

Brigitte Babydoll, $104, by Gilda & Pearl, available through Gilda & Pearl's etsy site

To gift or not to gift lingerie? That is my question.... Let's begin with, a friend of mine is getting married. More precisely, she is getting married to my brother. Originally, I'm was thinking Lingerie would be a cheeky gift (especially considering where I work.) I kept coming across beautiful pieces like this and thinking how nice they'd be to give as a wedding gift, that is until was pointed the possible taboo of gifting pretty underthings to my brother's wife to be. I'm still weighing the pros and cons of such a decision, but I'm slightly encouraged after reading this article which mentions Julia Roitfeld's preferred, shall we say, "gift-shop."

Also, so far this is the garter that I have found is contemporary and sexy without looking cheap (again, why I'm consider it as a bachlorette/ wedding-ish gift...)
