Deep down inside I know love will survive.

I am obsessed with slips. Ever since I saw The Dreamers, starring the gorgeous Michael Pitt and the elegant Eva Green, I've been desiring one. I have not a clue how, or why, I've become drawn to an item of clothing that would be hard to wear without exposing myself to the whole world, but I just have. In The Dreamers, Eva wears a beautiful, long, see-through dress that looks like some sort of slip to me. It's somehow sexy and classy at the same time. Take a look:


It's so pretty! I think I'm just drawn to pretty things... In any case, I browsed urbanoutfitters.com to check out what slips they had, since they're not very expensive and somewhat nice. I found two that I like, one a bit more scandalous than the other but I love both.


I can describe the above slip in one word: soft. It's beautiful and dainty and somewhat intricate yet still simple, and I'm just in love with it. I have no idea how I would ever wear it in public, but it's darling, and that's all that matters.

The second slip... Well, I adore lace, so I love how "all out" this slip is. However, I'm debating whether it's trashy or not (not that I would wear it in public/without anything underneath or over it).
I found another slip that I like a lot, too. I think it would be a lot more easy to pull off than the other ones that I like. The models in the photographs on the website are wearing it with dresses underneath, so it could work. I'm most likely going into Boston/Cambridge next week, so I'll have a ball in the Urban Outfitters there, trying on slips and just generally being silly. Hoorah.

dude...a slip? A freaking slip?

How did you even notice the freaking slip when Michael freaking Pitt was in the movie?

Ghaa.

But you're right: he is one fine piece of Capeside ass. That he is.

Peace, blogger...

I love lace and slips too, possibly an unhealthy amount. I have a lot of vintage nightwear in my wardrobe and not a clue how to wear it! Those UO ones are really sweet though, Char x
