Do you remember playing peek-a-boo as a child? Oh, the olden days. When things were so much simpler and there was far less bullshit to deal with on a day to day basis. Sigh. Well, I’ve been channeling my inner five year old and decided that playing a little game of peek-a-boo with your clothing isn’t such a bad idea. I love unexpected sexy, but please take this one with caution and follow my suggestions explicitly. This is something that can go terribly awry and have you looking like a Jersey Shore reject if executed improperly. I’m loving sheer slouchy see through t’s as a comfy, yet sexy top with jeans. The trick is to pair it with a cropped cami or matching (tonal) bralette and keep it covered up on the bottom half.

DONE WRONG:
So don’t be afraid to give a little peek, but don’t give it all away like a live peep show.

WhyDid,
I have a really important question….are fanny packs EVER ok?
Hey Lauren,
Fannypacks under no circumstance are ever, ever okay. Not even as a tourist at Disneyland. Hope this helps!

I figured they were never ok. The reason I asked is because while spending a wonderful night at Bent (I just figured out like 2 weeks ago that I go to the same school you did!) I spotted a girl with a ruffled fanny pack. I thought to myself….is this what it’s coming to? Fanny packs are the new trend? Please don’t be serious! So I figured I’d ask an expert…..thanks for reaffirming that they are NEVER ok. (Oh,and I tried to get a picture, but just ended up leaving looking creepy and pictureless)
A fellow West Virginia girl and apparently a girl after my own heart. I understand the need to be “hands free” while downing buttery nipple shots at Bent, but COME on! A fanny pack? Next time, just hand her a ticket and tell her it’s a citizen’s arrest! xx, WhyDid
