Why Don't You Lean on Me?

I actually have a dress problem i was wondering you could address, I've been buying a bunch of cute light weight summer dresses, however (especially the white ones), theyre always so sheer and even with nude underwear, you can still see the outline. So i was just wondering what you wear under your crochet dress or any sheer dress.

SLIPS! SLIPS! SLIPS! Except, properly fitting ones. I actually don't own one that fits. It's a skirt slip and is ridiculously long so I just wear it as a tube top under my dresses but it's too big so I have to strap it to my bra. Thankyou for reminding me that I need to buy a new one. I am the only 16 year old on the planet who seems to enjoy slips though. A lot of my friends just wear spandex under their clothes, my friend Mel is on a crew team and has just started wearing spandex under everything since she wears it at practice. I don't own any spandex, last time I wore a slightly see-through dress I wore my dance tights underneath. They had like 20000 holes in them but still, it worked. Anyways, I suggest these American Apparel gold lame shorts. My crew friend is buying these for practice, she goes to a rather posh all girls school which makes me want to laugh when I think of her wearing these to practice. Anyways, people are going to see that you are wearing spandex under the dress so why not make it flashy? The same crew friend was having a similar issue one day with a really cute yellow cotton J. Crew dress, she had just left the house wearing her normal underwear under the dress. So we spent half of our time looking for a nude thong (which I do not suggest wearing under a shear dress because it's kind of gross to see your butt crack but if you are in a bind then okay) when the lady at the boutique we were in said, "Oh, don't worry about it, just get some nude regular underwear. No one really cares."
And, for the most part, people don't really care that much if you can see a little outline of panty. Unless you are having Easter dinner at the Army Navy Club with your grandparents, just roll with it. Or maybe not? Either way, it's a good idea to invest in a good slip (try Nordstrom's) and a pair of spandex. Lame shorts, $28.

J. Crew recently arrived at the local mall. Everyone is incredibely happy about it, except for my dear friend Olivia who buys all of her clothes at J. Crew. Now, everyone owns atleast one article of clothing that she has. Which is why shopping exclusively at one store tends to be a bad idea, but whatever.
These J. Crew shorts are...the shiznit. I can't believe I wrote that, but I did and that's what we are stuck with. I went into J. Crew twice today and each time I stared longingly at these shorts. Some of my friends think that it's funny that I adore J. Crew, mainly because it's not my style at all. I mean, I'm wearing a Heatherette mini-skirt as I type this but I love it all the same. J. Crew shorts, $68.
Another thing that I fell in love with today? Gap's men's t-shirts. Super comfortable, especially their stretchy ones. Maybe it's because for the last 4 days I was wearing t-shirts (oh the joys of camping...) but I've rediscovered my love for them. Especially v-necks. Plus the two hairy chested old men who came to my work yesterday wearing low cut v-neck t-shirts certainly helped. It was sexy. $16.50 online. Cheaper in store.

P.S. I am a sarcastic person. Hairiness is not sexy. I just thought you guys should become aware of that.

I got an e-mail asking for "Summer French-boho clothes" in England (I think it was England, I accidentally deleted the e-mail so I'm just gonna go with Europe). Basically the only clothes I wear during the summer are French kinda boho (that or French whore). Which is just odd since that's not how I would describe my normal style, but I like it.

From Urban Europe. It's just a gorgeous dress, can be worn in loads of different ways for people of all different styles. I'm assuming it's cotton because, why would it not be? Apparently Europeans don't like product descriptions. £48.


85% of Free People's profits come from students at my school. It's a beautiful thing, just like this tank top (Oh goodness, that was awful). But, really, how could you not love that back detail? £32.


Topshop calls these hotpants. I'm so glad I'm not the only person still using that word. I refuse to wear them after a certain encounter with a homelessman disguised as a priest but I still appreciate them. Hotpants might not be boho, but seriously, these are basic. Boho it up. £28.

You Got Them Baby-Making Hips, Grrrl!

So, like I should make a post. Yeah?
It was really nice and warm, until today when I decided to wear a mini skirt and one of the 500000 tops I bought from Urban. I don't even shop there that much. I was freezing regardless of the top. My flimsly jacket was no match for the elements and my legs are quite possibly frostbitten. Anyways, let's get back to the warm weather. The other day I realised that the only shorts I own are incredibely skanky and/or have light blue paint on them. This is sad.


Oh wow. I love these, and they're incredibely skanky (well not so much this picture. just be glad I didn't pick the one with the girl sticking her butt out). I think that this explains my problem. Well, that and the fact that I actually own these shorts in plain old cotton (which for some reason they aren't selling anymore?). American Apparel running shorts in kelly green, $18.


I apparently really like short shorts. It must be the amount of Barbarella I was exposed to as a young girl. But, these are more Tank Girl than Barbarella. Whatever, man. I think I owned shorts like this in the second grade. I still love them. $90.


Actually, I normally don't wear shorts. Generally when it's hot out I wear skirts or capri-like things. I have a large bottom, it's difficult to find shorts that don't make me look like a video dancer. I have a feeling these won't. Probably because of the significant distance between the hem and buttcheeks. Thank you Elevenses. $68.


This, obviously, is not a pair of shorts. I don't care. I just found it on Digital Gravel and I will buy it, as soon as it's back in stock. $37 (it's in Ladies Wear). Lorena Bobbit will never cease to be an amazing part of pop-culture. I try to work the phrase, "I'm gonna bobbit you, boy!" into daily conversations.
