Fun With Slips

They really can do so much

I have always loved silky slips of all kinds, from real underpinnings to pieces with a lacy lingerie vibe (I loved a hacked-off vintage one over Martin jeans (iykyk) in my Lucky days). So I hightailed it over to Dôen on Sunday, with the sole purpose of trying on all the diaphanous silk versions, and reporting back to my friends Anne and Stacy. I probably drove the sweet salesperson nuts trying on all the sizes and colors, until I settled on the black long one (V-neck) in an XS, the Carob in a small to layer over the other one, and the shortie in Conch (I chose that neck for all three because it feels more old-school, but there’s also a scoopneck version). Stay with me here, and you’ll see them all in action below. In this photo, I’m wearing a vintage find that I’ve had forever—this is almost identical, this has a similar vibe, and this is a bit shorter (love the Magenta, too). I like to juxtapose the sweetness of mine with a vintage Native American statement piece—you can find a ton on Etsy. This is a great investment, and this would also add a nice pop of color. Or you could go for a pair of sweet turquoise earrings like these, or a bold cuff (all so good with a crisp white button-down, too)—CODE: ANDREALINETT15).

Here, I’m in one of my all-time favorite vintage scores: a silk-and-lace half-slip (but this, and this washable one, this slightly longer swingy one, and this one that’s under $40). I like it with Mike’s tee from Alex Mill—It’s a size large, and I usually roll up the sleeves. The slides literally feel like slippers (kind of love these too, and they’re on sale). The bag is my new carryall from Chan Luu that has the coolest shape, just enough pizazz, and is super light, so you can stuff it if you need to. Needless to say, I will be lugging this around all year long, and you can kind of make out my handmade silver cuff by Ronald Anderson for Ten Thousand Things (truly a work of art), and anklets from The Shuk, Beek, and Jenny Bird.

Here, I’ve layered the two Dôen maxis together, and I love how you can see some of the black underneath the brown. This could be nice on its own or under one of these, too, for a little peek of lace. And since we’re here, let’s also just take a sec to appreciate this beauty (under a sweater in the fall?), I’m wearing my favorite No.6 wedge clogs, my sequined pouch from Maria La Rosa (but this!), and Melanie Auld’s beachy shell pendant on a leather cord. And that’s our new Ruggable that feels like sisal, except it’s totally washable!

From left: Eberjey mini slip (for over a longer one or pants), A great midi from The Shirt, Dôen skirt slip, Reformation long shorts (also good with the oversized tee), Organic by John Patrick midi, Intimissimi mini shorts (great under sheer skirts), and an Intimissimi’s full mini.

A feminine slip kind of like mine, with cool necklaces and old-school Adidas for good measure...

And finally, my Dôen short slip in Conch that I will definitely wear under sheer dresses, etc., but I also love it over jeans or army pants (mine are vintage, but these are basically the same) alone or layered under a tee (mine is Ozma). Here are the sandals that look super bare but have nice arch support (and they’re almost named after me). The woven bag was a gift from Anne from Block Island last summer, but this, this, and this all feel similar.
