Last Monday, my Topshop dress arrived! As soon as I tried it on, I called Michael Lalley and told him that we had to go out this week so I could wear it, and apologized for my dorkiness. His response? “Girl, you’re talking to me! My topman package came yesterday and I wanna go out too!!!!” Destined or what?
The dress is incredibly slinky and sheer, so going braless is, for the purpose of decency, impossible. I hate strapless bras (and even having worked in lingerie, have never managed to find the perfect one), so I made a trip to my local Victoria’s Secret in search of a solution, and came across these gel petals. Although a bit pricey at $25, you receive 2 pairs, each one with approximately 15 uses. I also got a free gift card for at least $10, so it justified my spending. For those curious in the quality, I found them extremely comfortable. I’m a solid A-cup, so I don’t require much support, and would guess that anyone up to a C would find these comfortable as well. I highly recommend them if you’re willing to spend the money. They don’t add volume (they’re just nipple pasties), but they do add a smooth shape.
For my shoes, I ganked my sister’s Miu Miu booties, which suited the dress perfectly!
I wore my hair down and wavy last night, but of course woke up looking like hell this morning, so put it in a low bun for pictures. Ignore my morning-after face, please!
日本の概略：春休みを始めてから、昨晩友達と飲みにバーに行った。たくさん２ドラのマーガーリタを飲んだわね。。。新しいトップショップのワンピースを着たし、miumiuの鞄を持ったし、双子のmiumiuの靴を履いた。
ドレスの着てたみに特産ブラを買わなければならないよ。Victoria’s Secretでジェルペースティを買った。ちょっと高いが、＄２０を使ったから、ギフトカードを貰ったね！うれしいです。そして、ペスティは快適わね〜

Oh lady, you look like a fairy or angel. I wish you had pictures of your wavy hair and in incandescent light. I think the morning light does not do the dress justice.

That dress is beautiful! The cut is fantastic! I’m loving one shoulder things lately.
I must say I’m extremely jealous of this dress.

Wow, that dress fits you perfectly! You look beautiful. And thanks for the recommendation, I often steer away from sheer clothing because I also can’t stand strapless bras (I’m an A-cup as well) but I might give them a second chance now.

I definitely recommend the petals then! You can’t even feel them – it’s so seamless. Best invention ever!
