Darlings, CC is on Twitter @couturecarrie. OMG, you are saying; can it be true? Understandable query, given CC’s lack of technological prowess. Good thing there are amazing friends like DG and all my Fellow Fashionistas to instruct CC in the ways of the computerized world! Thank you all for your loyalty and devotion!

Wow. I love these. Very hot. Some of the top ones are totally awesome. Hard to pick out a favorite.

Peter Breese said...

Wonderful post, for some reason it reminds me of some of the outfits in the Matrix - specifically when the French fellow's wife was present... Monica Bellucci I believe. Amazing how a mesh pull over can change the feel of anything below it.

Wanderlusting said...

Ah, mesh. While I think overall the large netted look is WAY too 90's for me, I do love the more discreet version!

Stéphanie said...

I love the Christian Dior !

Haha! Fashion gains wit in your hands.

A fine mesh indeed.

Thanks for your lovely comment CC and I like that "The Metamorphosis" is one of your favourites too.

Jennifer Fabulous said...

Oooh I love the mesh leggings and the mesh bag. So chic! I love this kind of material for layering on dresses and skirts. :)

PS. I love the new header!

Chicago Chic said...

Love the mesh, beautiful photos! I especially like the black dresses near the end!

PS. I added your blog to my page, love it. xoxo

Beth Connolly said...

This look is stunning-tulle gone edgy. I think a pair of fishnet stockings are calling me today.

M said...

I love how you can achieve so many different vibes/looks using the same material! That little white/grayish dress with a black mesh layer on top is probably my favorite here! xoxox

Penny said...

Good Lord! I'm in love with that mesh slip!!!

carolina @ patagonia gifts said...

wow! really hot post, darling! love mesh tights! xo

Diego R. Wyatt said...

There is something so sexy about mesh netting, and yet it gives off a mysterious, old-world high glamour. The Christian Dior Couture net overlay is breathtaking. I love the Jean Paul Gaultier cardigan as well...cardigans don't have to be safe and leave it to Gaultier to make that kind of statement. The Jimmy Choo studded mesh shoes are stunning too.

Tights Lover said...

Great post. I am a huge fan of mesh, tulle, and the like. I think I need to get one of those pairs of leggings! So hot!

zoe aka drinkupthefashion said...

Love the new header, Carrie! This post is a very different way of looking at mesh. When I think of mesh, I also picture the infamous AA dress, however these pictures show a lot more variety and style. I really enjoyed this post! Now I'm thinking about getting into mesh ;)

Anika said...

Mesh = either perfection or a red hot mess. In this selection of pictures and outfits, perfection of course ;)

But I've always been wary of mesh....and I always remember a mesh and neon green crop top that I wore with pride when I was 14. Yikes....I think I'll stay away, thanks.

Hope you're having a fab week bella
