underneath it all

 




(Theyskens' Theory bustier top, Alexander Wang knit bra)


With the amount of flimsy tank tops and scraggly sheer things I wear, what's underneath really counts. Alexander Wang does lingerie so rarely that I always make sure to look out for it - usually it's around springtime that anything is released, a couple pieces at a time if not just one. My first purchase was an elastic strap mesh layered one, last year it was a few athletically inspired pieces, and this spring it's this ribbed knit that lies perfectly flat against the skin. So comfortable it's addicting. Then this satin bustier top that I bought on Melrose shopping with Bryan a couple weekends ago that will be perfect layered over simple dresses, again with the thick elastic straps. Not as wearable for every day but so beautiful.
