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!

CC

  4. 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.

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

  16. 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.

  67. 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
