i love to wear any sheer clothes esp during summer. they are so comfortable on the hot weather.
Congrats to Sweety for winning! I love this sheer trend in both dresses and tops. It looks so good with a black lacy bra =) I hope it never goes out of style. HOT. xoxo

Thanks for the inspiration :)
A PIECE OF PASSION
Sheer can be so awkward off the runway but, that grey Costume National and the black and gold Doo Ri both seem so "be-brave-to-go-sheer" wearable.
woooooow
so cool!
Kisses
How was your vacation?
Sheer is definitely sexy. Love the Versace.
I hope I win this Perricone give-away. I've been forever joining this give-away in other blogs. hahaha! Ain't so lucky.
LOVE this post. I'm obsessed with sheer...still looking for the perfect sheer pieces to add to my closet
great giveaway too! always looking for more products to add to my anti aging regime ;)
The sheer trend has really grown on me! great picks as usual CC darling!

Great picks! Some of these are fabulous, but others a little crazy. The one with the opaque polka dots reminds me of MIA's outfit when she performed 9 months pregnant at the Grammys! That top right blue one is gorgeous, though.
good post cc....
love the Julien Macdonald black v shaped top.
muwah cc1
;)
Love these sheer outfits! I probably wouldn't wear the ultra-sheer ones, but I love the Julian MacDonald and despite it's craziness, I'd also go for the Giles Deacon dress! Fab post as usual!
great!! Fingers crossed!

WOW!!! I like to leave A LOT more up to the imagination!!!
LOVE your new header... will this be permanent?
What beautiful clothes! They remind me of beautiful "angels" in old Chinese ghost stories.
Fab giveaway! Dying to try this product!
Love the DooRi dress and that gold Naeem Khan...swoon!
I can't get enough of sheer. So many good looks here, but the D&G is definitely my absolute favorite.
I love those beaded tanks! Soooo pretty!
Love anything sheer! especially if its lacy! and love that pink dress
love the Antonio Marras..
would love to see most of this in my world...

Hi CC!
Woooow, that Naeem Khan gown is so beautiful.
Love it very much. And the black lace Oscar de la Renta. Such an adorable dress, I´m sure it will cherish you through many seasons and seasons to come!
This really made me wish it was warm enough for me to wear this stuff right now....not in Colorado!
CC i missed your blog!!! Ive been so busy again but im going to visit your blog everyday! I love the photos... and your new header (if its still new). Sheer fabric really is beautiful and one of the hardest to work with!
Darling I've sent this post off to Santa and asked the big man to bring me one of each of the pieces...including the cream...thanks for the help with my list!
I loveloveloveloove these dresses!!
xxx
this is such a fun look...a hint of sheer can go a long way!
OMG! I won! This is awesome! Thank you so much!
The Naeem Khan literally just took my breath away with its sheer beauty ... if only I lived in a world where I could afford to adorn it over my own figure ... *sigh*
~Bargain Bex ("BB")
P.S. I'm a sucker for any new beauty product or cream I haven't put onto my face yet and would love a chance to try the Perricone.
Thank you and good luck to everyone!
Oh these looks are sheer genius! They are such a scandal, yet so amazing!
Oh I get so nervous to wear sheer! Love just the suggestive hint of sheer on the Micheal kors sheath--lovely!
how wonderful! I love these looks..I especially love when sheer fabrics are layered. hope I win this giveaway! I love perricone!
I'd love to get some of that face cream! You always have the best giveaways, C.C. :-)
love your picks!
yay for giveaways! i've heard a lot of good stuff about it!
Pure sexyness !
I a-do-re Saunders, it looks like Malevich's suprematism put into fashion...
I love these dresses that you post!Soo glam!!
I think a little sheer goes a long way, but I love the look of a sheer back or sleeves -- demure yet sexy!
Love it!!! Beautiful!

Sheer fabric shows off the perfect amount of skin. Subtle yet sexy. The Fendi and Michael Kors looks are amazing!
I LOVE sheer, I wish I had the guts to wear more of it in public. ;)
That Antonio Berardi piece is amazinggg.
http://joannefaith.com
I'm really into sheer stuff now, especially mesh. Loving the first few looks, especially the Costume National and Fendi. Will have to recreate on a budget.
I wish I could rock sheer without my dad telling me to change!

Congratulations to the winner!
That sheer back dress is stunning. I love the allure of sheer pieces and when done right, it's sexy but tasteful. Hope you had a great weekend, CC!

I adore that Just Cavalli piece! I like to incorporate sheers as tights-my obsession of the moment.
These outfits are all outrageously fabulous!! :)
WHOA. Sexy much? Drooling over the Giles Deacon!
Have to enter this one, a must have, love this post also, everything is so me, petals of sheer fabrics, Sheer flowers and fabrics with a little fraying, oh yes, seems to be the thing. My new designs are going to be using this theme.
thanks CC,

I have been eyeing the entire Perricone MD line for months and would love this!! I know it could do wonders for my skin right now. Thanks!
I'm LOVING all things sheer at the moment and this post has only served to increase this!
Love your blog :)

I love the Black with the sheer, I don't like when the private parts are showing though :) but black with a little bit of sheer is ALWAYS wonderful. :)
I just tweeted your giveaway (@caitielady08)!!!
http://candyflosspersie.blogspot.com/
Love this look.
Probably not the right place to admit this, but a lot of high fashion just leaves me sleepy- This, though, is really well edited or curated, if you well & a pleasure to view!
Wow absolutely love the pictures and love your blog!! I'd love to win the Cold Plasma -- heard great things about it!!
What a great giveaway and great photos! Thanks for the entry, I'm retweeting this now :)

Ms. Rice and Beans

I love the sheer look. I have a sheer blouse that I wear a camisole under.

Wow!! These are absolutely stunning!! Some of them I just don't have the figure to wear :) but some are definitely do-able. I've got a couple of sheer blouses in my closet... you've inspired me to pull them out and see what can be done with them this holiday season. Yay!
Well, they certainly look great on the models, but.....I'm not so sure they'd look great on me
I love that black dress!

Great pics and a great giveaway. Thanks.
These styles remind me of the 80's
