Styling the Basics - Summer Lovin'

One Slip Fits All - see what I did there ;) 


 
 

 


 
I found this vintage slip a few years ago at the Rat's Nest in NoDa and it's become the perfect layering piece for my summer wardrobe.  It's like a loose fitting tank top for the entire body, perfect for the sweltering heat we're facing in the coming months.  I like to utilize the slip as a base to layer upon with see-through beach cover-ups, lace tops, concert tees, summer knits and every now and then a festive kimono.  The lace trim gives each outfit a feminine touch and it can easily be dressed up or down.  I'm confident you can find a similar piece at a vintage store near you!  I promise it's money well spent and I bet you could find one for $10 just like I did at the Nest. 
 
Stay cool out there!
