What a Mesh!

Mesh makes magic, on everything from pumps to prom dresses! The use of netting and tulle was particularly impressive at the Spring 2009 Couture!

    Mesh shoes are great but could result in an interesting foot tan.

    The thing about mesh, they are quite uncomfortable to wear eh?

    Hi CC,

    I adore! Cute JPG gloves. I want it.

    The boots not only beautiful, but comfy according to me. Sam Edelman desings are so much good. Valentino costume is dazzling.

    Great post!

    xoxo: Janet

    P.S.: Now, I wear a sweater with mesh collar. Haha! :)

    I think I say no to the mesh. It kind of reminds me of the 80's, however that little purse looked super cute.

    Honestly, I think the Valentino skirt looks a bit like an old lady's table cloth, but I think the Jean Paul Gaultier jacket is great - I love your new header photo!

    Mesh is done nicely in coutoure, though otherwise I think it's really unpractical.. but that's the thing with fashion sometimes, right? :)

    Mesh is very cool indeed. There is something very subtle yet sexy about it. I also did a post showing that look from JPG (the pants with the mesh on the sides). Do you feel that the collectiosn have been different bc of the recession?
