Ever have one of those quick throw-on outfits that you put together last minute and end up loving? That’s what this was to me… Until I hit the right light (half way through the day, mind you) and realized that a little extra coverage probably would have been ideal. Oops.
I can’t even say this is the first time it’s happened. Ocassionally there is a little VPL action going on at work too, mostly because I don’t take the time to look at all the angles when I’m in a hurry. Sigh. I guess I learned my lesson with this one. Lighting, people. Test it. Especially if you’re headed to the office! I hid out at my desk the rest of the day. In theory though, I really do love this combination! It’s simple, but it works.

I’ve definitely had that happen, and the worst part is, you don’t usually notice until pictures have been taken! Whoops!
This is such a gorgeous outfit! It’s so classy! And the necklace is so so pretty 🙂

Haha I literally do this ALL the time–sometimes I don’t figure it out until I walk into the bathroom at work (which happens to have horrible lighting) and then it’s too late. Oh well–you still look adorable!
Oops! This has happened to me too before since I’m always in a rush in the morning and I’m half asleep, haha.

The coverage issue isn’t too bad – I wouldn’t worry! You do look gorgeous and I love the combo – especially the tights!
We’ve all had those days. And even though it only shows up in certain lighting, you’re constantly worried about it ALL DAY anytime someone talks to you… the worst. But what are you gunna do? At least the outfit is cute!-
Oh dear, I hate when tees are too sheer!! Now you know for next time 😉

oh i do this all the time with my black tees! it’s so hard! but you look great in this!!
My entire 18th birthday photos I refuse to show to people because apparently the camera flash revealed that I was wearing a white bra. It totally happens!
Hi from Totally Posted Tuesday! I think the jewelry is my favorite part of this outfit. Beautiful!
I have that with a simple purple vneck T from Gap. I always throw it on when I’m in a rush and then when I go to the bathroom at work with all of that lovely harsh lighting I remember that my shirt is see through in the bust!
I am a huge sucker for statement necklaces, and I am loving yours! I am hosting a like up, I’d love for you to join: http://bit.ly/IHP2eG

The skirt is so cute, and I love your tights!
Hahaha oh giiiirl I have definitely been there. Any why does it always happen with black? It’s seriously so hard to tell until it’s too late! Well, hey, the whole outfit is really cute so that’s what really matters, right?
