SS10 trend - neutral/ nude sheer dresses (and socks!)

Next up on No More Wants, the SS10 trend for neutral or nude sheer dresses sometimes with socks. These dresses were just about every where on the catwalk. These are just a few examples but there were plenty more including longer styles, minimalist and full on frothy versions.

At Givenchy

At Fendi

At Calvin Klein

At Burberry Prorsum

At Meadham Kirchhoff

And so to the challenge - to create a look for this trend from items in my wardrobe. I have had this chiffon dress for a year or two but have only worn it once or twice. Whilst, I love feminine clothes, there was just something too sugary sweet about this dress. It was also never that practical for the UK weather. Taking inspiration from Meadham Kirchhoff (although I am not sure if I like the collection) and Burberry Prorsum (I love the collection with all my heart), I tried adding a pair of grey knee socks ruched down with a pair of strappy wedge shoes. I also added a vintage/ second hand charcoal grey suit jacket. Funnily enough, I was really worried that this look wouldn't work but I really like it. The dark colours toughened up the sheer, cream frilliness of the dress making it much more wearable for me than just on its own. I think I will definitely be getting a to more wear out of this dress.
