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.
ReplyDeletegood post cc....
ReplyDeletelove the Julien Macdonald black v shaped top.

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. :)

Love this look.
ReplyDeleteProbably 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!
ReplyDeleteWow absolutely love the pictures and love your blog!! I'd love to win the Cold Plasma -- heard great things about it!!

I love the sheer look. I have a sheer blouse that I wear a camisole under.
ReplyDeletetmc480 at yahoo dot com
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!
ReplyDeleteWell, they certainly look great on the models, but.....I'm not so sure they'd look great on me
ReplyDeleteI love that black dress!
ReplyDeleterjs682 at yahoo dot com
Great pics and a great giveaway. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThese styles remind me of the 80's
