Layering with Lace

I have quite a few dresses that are just a tad toooo short to wear without tights. So in the spring/summer months they are sort of pushed to the back and out of commission for those seasons, which is kind of unfortunate. 

Soooo, awhile ago I got the idea to find a pretty lace-trimmed slip and wear it under the aforementioned dresses, to add just a few extra inches so that I would feel comfy about wearing them sans tights in this warm summer weather.

It was surprisingly difficult to find a slip that was long enough and that actually had a thick lace trim at the bottom, but after a few months of searching...I came across this one at Ross, of all places.


This is the first dress I tried the lace slip layered underneath and I really like how it turned out :)





And as you can tell from this dress and this one, I am pretty much a huge sucker for a dress with a pretty back...

Can't wait to try this out with a few more dresses!



Hope everyone is having a nice weekend
