Underwear as Outerwear

  I'm pretty equivocal about underwear as outerwear, if it isn't leggings-as-pants or that trend of see-through shirts over bras. That one always confused me.

  I'm wearing lingerie as a dress! Is it evident? I didn't think so, but I could be wrong. :D
Lace dress: Lingerie by Hanky Panky (thrifted)
Underdress: Express (thrifted)
Scarf: Ozz Angelo (Japan)
Hoodie: Prairie Underground long cloak hoodie (old)
Basket locket: vintage (etsy shop)
  I thrifted this Hanky Panky lace thing recently, and read on the tag it's made in the U.S. The brand is indeed a comfort lingerie and undergarment company. They claim to make the most comfortable thong, but really, how great can even the most comfortable of butt floss be? Yeah, I didn't think so.

  AT ANY RATE, I felt like a ballerina wearing this. I spent most of the day inside working on a paper, thus the bare feet. Didn't stop me from dressing up and swanning about (a phrase I picked up from Sheila) my apartment, though.
  I tied my three strips of lace scarf into a knot that confused the hell out of me when I tried to take it off. I'm also wearing my blue rose lampworked earring again. Its mate has been lost for years so now I wear it paired with a simple metal rose stud.
  I like this dress so much I want to make a custom underlayer for it now, since none of my plain underdresses match the cut. What do you think of lingerie as a dress? Too obvious or does it pass? Do you have suggestions for the underlayer? I was thinking a shiny cerulean satin, or a deep green, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
