80% transparency*

You see this sheer dress?  Do you also see how her bathing suit/underwear peeks through all summery cute-like (FYI: you can only get away with this in a bigger city... or in a kick back beach town.)?  This happens to me by accident more often than it should... and, really, it's not as cute as the girl in this photo.  I don't have a full length mirror at home and the indoor lighting is kind of off- so things like this (and lipstick that somehow got on my eyelid) aren't noticed until I'm in broad daylight.  Which is pretty embarrassing.  I visited my husband at his shop one day not too long ago- wearing a pale tulle skirt.  He stepped away from his client, walked into the office, called my name and motioned toward a yellow post-it note held up in his hand reading: "80% transparency".  It took me a second to realize that he was talking about my skirt.  I'd like to think I pulled it off like this girl here, but likely I absolutely did not.

Anyhow, wha'cha got going this weekend?  I'll be celebrating a friend's birthday tonight at a pizzeria (Happy birthday, Alexis!),  maybe catching a movie, and - heck- doing some laundry.
Hope you have a playful weekend.
Love,
Cath
