Anyone planning to be a Freudian Slip for Halloween (
a la Meg Ryan in
D.O.A.)?

For starters: A Blumarine silk dress on the runway (right) and paired with bespoke Strumpet & Pink briefs in a scandalous

CC is enamored of this off-the-shoulder frock and the buttery accessories it's paired with!

Would you wear this one out for cocktails, or kee it in the

Query: Do these remind anyone of the
Friends episode in which Rachel wore a nightgown to dinner with her boyfriend’s parents? CC can barely tell whether these frothy filaments are slips or dresses!

CC adooooores a pretty bra that can be "exposed", SATC-style!
