Slip Up.

I was a touch alarmed when, about six months ago, WhoWhatWear announced that t-shirts under slip dresses were “back in.”  What the hell?  I thought we all tacitly agreed in the early aughts that they were a hideous combination and put them to rest along with scrunchies and those Steve Madden stretchy black platform sandal thingies.  (Also, butterfly clips.)

While I don’t think I can get behind the t-shirt-under-a-slip-dress situation, the idea of a slip dress is growing increasingly attractive.  Minimalist in a 90s throwback kind of way.  Sexy, sophisticated, alluring.  I can dig it.  And I like the vibe the two chic peas below–slinky slip dress underneath a boxy/masculine leather jacket or blazer.  Opposites attract.

For a more formal event, this Zimmermann dress is IT.

This Cuyana style ($260-$315 depending on material) is quite the head-turner, as well.  P.S.  Have you noticed that Cuyana has graduated from solely selling high quality, well-priced leather goods and is now selling beautiful pieces of clothing?  I’m obsessed with this bomber in the blush color.

But if we’re talking a versatile piece at a great pricepoint?  This Line + Dot stunner in its gorgeous lilac hue ($119).  So hot.

And if the maxi length seems a little too much, this midi style from MLM or this $88 find from Everlane are also lovely.

P.S.  I want to live in this dress all summer long.  It nails that beachy vibe I was swooning over last week.

P.P.S.  I’m ordering a new toy for Tilly, and I will only buy these Fluff + Tuff stuffed squeaky animals for her.  More of my dog favorites here.
