During London Fashion Week I drove Faran crazy: “But Topshop! When do we get to go to Topshop??”
“Britt,” she’d say, “You have a ticket to Luella in your hand. Do not worry, we’ll get to Topshop, after we work.”
When we finally got to shop, I left with an inordinate amount of retro lingerie. At that point, I might’ve actually believed that my Spring wardrobe would be as sheer as the runways. So of course I’d need vintage slips and conservative, but still sexy underwear - Hanky Pankys weren’t going to cut it under Henry Holland’s sheer florals
Now reality’s set in and I most definitely won’t be wearing that Louise Goldin dress I thought was so cool three months ago - but I still have extremely high-waisted underwear, (which has since been duplicated at your local Urban), sitting in my drawer and I’m wondering, do I wear it?
If I do wear it under something barely sheer so that one notices a different silhouette, will they look more Bridget Jones than Betty Page, or will onlookers just wonder what the hell is going on with my lace-covered tummy?
I suppose it’s more likely that no one will notice, but out of curiosity, would you, or have you already rocked high-waisted underwear? If so, how’d that go?

yes! i have these magical (but non-Mormon) panties from that japanese lingerie place on houston and they are a) really cute and b) made of this super-soft wool and even though they only cover up as much as the pair in the picture you show, they keep your whole body warm!
