Sheer Chic

Today I went up to London for the day with my boyfriend and our friend from school and spent the day in the sun wondering around Covent Garden and Borough Market. Covent Garden is such a lovely place for shopping and Borough Market has some of the most amazing food place!

But I really wanted to show you my outfit today and I had one of those break throughs where I found a combination of clothes that I already had but had never worn together before! And I just love this look! The idea of underwear as outwear and visible bras and bralettes has been around for a while. I personally don't have the confidence right now to wear just a bralette with out anything over the top, but I do love layering with beautiful lace bralettes.

The light blue lace bralette that I am wearing here is one from Topshop which I got a few months ago. It's not see through over the bust, has beautiful lace details, a zip at the back and a deep V-neck shape. Plus it is in a gorgeous minty blue, so basically it is perfect! I love wearing it with V-neck tops and jumper so you can see some of the lace showing through. 

Today I wore my sheer white shirt with the buttons undone to just below the bralette so it was slightly visible. My shirt is actually a very cheap one I found on eBay years ago, but I don't wear it much as I wasn't actually expecting it to be sheer! 

However now I have found a way to wear this shirt with the bralette underneath and I love how it looks. It's that perfect smart casual style and still looks really classy and feminine. 

For my makeup I went for more of a pinky purple eye looks as opposed to my usual neutrals. But I was just desperate to use my new Naked 3 palette! I think this looks beautiful with a natural lip and a little bit of pinky blushers for a girlie and sweet look. 

Right now I am still just playing around with all of the different shades in my Naked 3 palette but I can't wait so do a post soon showing you some different eye looks. 

Today I also managed to squeeze in a little bit of shopping after the others had gone home, and I actually made a little (actually a bit of a splurge!) purchase of something that I have wanted for so long now! So keep an eye out as I think I will show you that in my next post.

I'm off to make a cup of tea and eat the most amazing gooey chocolate brownie from Borough Market! xx
