Cover Up, Shmover Up

June 24th, 2011

Sometimes I think so-called cover ups are just too darn fabulous to only be worn at the beach, just to be taken off and thrown into a beach bag. Point in case: this gorgeous Diane von Furstenberg number. Yes, I do realize it is sheer and, no, I am not suggesting to wear this with a bra and panties peeking through. Enter: the layering tank dress. Use one, like this versatile James Perse version, to go under/over practically anything this summer. Throw on dangly earrings, a crazy cool cuff and a fab pair of wedges and this “cover up” is transformed into a summer date night outfit. ♥

    Ahh you read my mind with the starfish cuff. I saw it on shopbop the other day and almost ordered it/ put it in my summer wishlist round up. Clever idea with the cover up and so true! Happy Weekend!

    The cover up is great and the starfish cuff is fantastic. I saw one like that at Anthro a while ago. Definitely on my summer wishlist.

    Agreed! I actually kind of love that it is sheer! With a attappy dress underneath and a belt, I’m sold!

    I hear ya, Molliee! I have a victoria’s secret cover up that i wear as a shirt. It’s so comfy and a pretty color. Don’t care when clothes are designed for as long as they look good!

    You said it – some cover-ups are super chic – great idea to use as a cover up over a tank dress!

    My favourite brand Reiss had two cover ups last summer, one in white and one in black, FAR too nice for the beach in my opinion so I am in total agreement with you here :-)
