Kissed by the Sun

by Ashley on July 18, 2011

Dress: Zara // Sandals: Havianas //  Bag: El Corte Ingles // Sunglasses: Forever 21

Do you ever feel like it’s just too hot for accessories other then a towel and a book? Yeah, that was this weekend. So I suited up, grabbed a cover-up and headed to the park. Full disclosure: when I bought this adorable little white coverup (during this Girls Weekend, I was pretty convinced that it was an actual dress. In fact, I wore it several times. But then this summer came around and I put this dress on to discover (GASP) that it was now, somehow, slightly sheer. If anyone knows HOW this incredibly mysterious thing could have happened, I beg you to share your knowledge.

Of course there is another possible explanation…perhaps I just bought a see-through dress. And didn’t realize it. For a year. Whoops.

love that you paired your sheer dress with a bathing suit. very smart. i often forget to check behind me and walk out of the house in things that are too sheer. good thing i work with mostly gay men who aren’t looking anyway!

I love that first shot of you, Ashley. You look so pretty in that light!

And, yes, I definitely know that feeling of being too hot for anything but the bare minimum…I just haven’t felt it in a really long time. Get ready to bundle up when you FINALLY visit SF!

You’re adorable!

And yes, I totally have a dress like that. But it’s a black floral, so it’s only really sheer depending on the light. Or so I like to tell myself ;)

I was once off on a promising career path as an accidental flasher when I realized that a skirt I had been wearing for several months was, in fact, totally sheer. Hey, it happens. And the Zara dress is totally cute.

I’m sure there have been worse wardrobe malfunctions! Hope you’re staying cool, heard the weather has been brutal…even more reason you should have escaped asap to San Fran!!

I love the back of that dress. A white dress just seems the perfect thing for summer. A truly great look.

I am all about sheer and white for summer, mainly because of images like that first photo. Also, I have to agree with earlier comments… You are looking so fit and toned! Kind of inspiring me to get off my bum and work out!
