Mesh is the Word

Have you heard?

Sheer stuff has been sneaking up on us for a while, first in the form of maybe a layering tee, then shoes and bags, and now it’s officially a real thing—And perfect for warmer weather (because built-in air conditioning). Let’s kick things off with Zara’s cool tote that’s just right for the beach or grocery shopping, but also so good when you’re dressed up or down around town.

Negative’s long-sleeve top is really asking for a pretty bra or cami underneath, but it’s also cute layered under an oversized tee. Or you can wear it under a sweater with scrunched- up sleeves to show off the arms. Use the code ANDREA20 for a nice site-wide discount.

How good are these leopard ballet flats? I’m thinking perfect with cropped black jeans for a punky Audrey Hepburn situation.

I have this in black, and love the handy interior pouch. But this sunny yellow is super fun for summer.

Uniqlo’s breezy number feels a little like a skirt version of track pants.

Every time I walk by the Loeffler Randall store in Nolita, I stop and stare at these cute Mary Janes in the window. They’re like girlie sneakers with a subtle platform for extra height, and I think I need them already.

Here’s another good tote from Mango, this time in a bright cherry red.

I have these snake-embossed pants that I wear around the house, but I’m getting ready to take them to the beach!

More chicness from Loeffler Randall: A classic ballet flat that shows off your pedicure.

Cos’ mini shoulder bag is not only adorable, but it forces you to keep its contents neat!

and these Zara sneakers feel very Margiela.

Eby’s comfy/sexy bralette is constructed to actually support and lift (more than a regular bralette). Use the code ANDREA15 on everything.

Gap’s little striped pouch with Mexican-vacation vibes is big enough for a cellphone, lippie, etc. and is perfect for holding all that stuff at the beach (or wherever, really).

Here’s a daring silk dress that you can throw over a bathing suit, or make it less racy with a nice slip underneath.

This pretty/cool bodysuit deserves to be shown off a little—Wear it under a crisp button-down or maybe a little cashmere cardigan opened at the top and bottom to show a little flash of its beauty.
