    Sheer Dresses and Blouses

    I agree if you are going to do black (like I do sometimes), there can't be too many straps going on. I like that idea of a brightly colored slip. I have orange and green, hot pink, all colors, so I might try that too! It's fun!

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Hi! There are new Revlon displays all about "matte" and they have new matte Reds. I bought the "Really Red". I am wearing it today for the first time and I LOVE it! It's matte, but not chalky or the sort that you can't rub your lips together. The color is great, a nice everyday red. I will...
