To celebrate my newly pink hair, I decided I needed an appropriately girly new outfit. After trying on a pile of pale, pastel, lacy numbers at American Apparel, I decided on this delicate dress with a minty bodysuit underneath.
I posed the question to Instagram, but I’ll ask here as well: Is it appropriate to wear just a bodysuit under such a sheer dress? The cut was full and conservative, and the Instagram consensus was yes, but I still decided to add a slip before wearing this out the next day.
Speaking of lace, these socks have been my saving grace. I’m in desperate need of a proper pedicure, but in the meantime I’ve been pairing my open-toe shoes with various frilled footies. Faster and easier than painting my toenails, and much nicer to look at anyway.
Oh, and the bubbles? I seem to collect them from every wedding I’ve ever attended. Little known fact, I carry a small vial on me at all times, just in case the occasion calls for it. I always consider doing a “What’s In My Bag” post for this very reason, but aside from the bubbles it would be rather unimpressive (a wad of receipts, a Sephora mailer from two months ago, a stack of gift cards in a rubber band). My organization methods are … unique.
At least my summer wardrobe is taking shape.
I am so smitten with your hair! These photos are so fun and playful – love them!
This color would look so good on you! Maybe as the red begins to fade…
Your hair looks so pretty!!! and that outfit is so pretty!! and you are so pretty (as if we needed more proof that Im a creep)!!! Really I love the pastel, girly-ness of it… it makes me happy :)

It was more of a pain to get out than planned so I’m saving it for long weekends, but it will be making a return soon.
Adorable photos!

Thanks!
I agree with Instagram voters, definitely down with the bodysuit (an often overlooked piece of the wardrobe). Love the pink hair, lace, utterly chic.
So overlooked! I’m just beginning to explore the possibilities of bodysuits.
I love the gif you made. The pink hair is perfect! Hmm, I’d love to just say YES wear the bodysuit out, but I get where you’re coming from, I’d be nervous to do it – but it looks awesome so I want you to…haha. I’d wear it out clubbing / to a party!
It was great for sneaking around to get pics at night, but I definitely chickened out in broad daylight.
This post just brightened my mood – the pink hair, the lace, the frilly socks and the BUBBLES!! I love that you carry them all the time. I’d agree with putting a slip on under a sheer dress, but that’s just ’cause I wouldn’t look as good with just a bodysuit underneath.
Bubbles do wonders to brighten moods – another good reason to have them on hand! ;)
Totally appropriate! You look gorgeous :)
Thanks doll!
Next time we get together I demand a shower of bubbles! I think the dress looks amazing with the bodysuit, but unless you’re hanging out with the right crowd, Bostonians will just look at you like you’re crazy. Le sigh.
I love confusing conservative Bostonians with my fashion choices – you should know that by now!
ha, i can relate to interesting organization skills. i don’t the bodysuit looks perfect, but it’s more about your comfort level than what anyone else thinks.
So true! And in the end I was more comfortable adding a slip.
