While grazing the pages of Lucky Magazine‘s March issue I noticed a reoccurring trend: black bras peeking out of sheer, lace blouses. Lauren Conrad rocked this look on the cover, and the “Look of the Month” paired it with boyfriend jeans and heels. It’s daring, adventurous, a head-turner, and utterly unsubtle.
The bra-and-lace duo introduces romance to sexy and feminine to bold all at once. I love the juxtaposition that it embodies and the confidence it exudes.
These attributes were inviting but actually wearing the look terrified me. And so I tried it.
Fashion should be adventurous, after all.
What was the last look or trend you tried that scared you at first? Would you wear it again?

I think this is cute for a night out, but obviously not a work look. You’re totally rocking it!

I am a fan!!! I have always loved the sheer top with a bold bra…not in a skanky Vegas stripper way, of course…in a classy way like you have done here. You are completely adorable 🙂 Yay! for being bold!!! XO Brynn (sorry, I hope my word choice did not offend!)
hello, sexy mama! i love this look and love that you paired a sheer top with bf jeans. definitely balances it out and keeps it chic! xo
I LOVE this… very sexy, yet you’re still completely covered! I have always liked the idea of a little sneak peek like this! You pull it off very well!
Cute outfit and gorgeous sunset!

Wow, I really loved how you made the style your own!
When I first saw the high-low skirt trend, I was skeptical that I could pull it off and really scared. Turns out, there was nothing to be afraid of!

Awesome look for you!!
You are one bold chick! Good for you! This makes me nervous to even think about doing but you can totally rock it! Hope you wore it out this weekend!
I am loving this juxtaposition. Those jeans look so great on you!!

I wear this out sometimes although my bf hates it (“Just put a tank top on underneath!” he says) 😛
I love this and have tried it a few times! It is certainly bold, but I make sure to keep my girls in place too, lol
I like the total outfit too including the jacket.
I guess my “bold” outfit could be peach blouse and mint skinnys. I loved the outcome too though! 😉

I love this look when done right – and you’ve definitely done it right 🙂 the boyfriend jeans really help to make it less overt!

I definitely love this androgyny chic look! Not everybody can pull of a bra under a sheer lacy top–you did a really good job!
Stay fab,

I absolutely loved Lauren’s top/bra combination on the cover and Lucky and it is just as adorable on you!

You look so great, but I don’t think that I could ever pull something like this off!

Love it!
I love the clear lace shirt!
Love it! I love love semi sheer white T-shirts with either black or neon bras. I love your lace top and black bra and have inspired me to give it a try!! xo
You make this look so wearable! Also, I must know what brand of boyfriend jeans you’re rocking! I’m in search of a pair that will look flattering on me and yours are super cute!
