Opacity


Sheer clothing is a daring feat. Wearing something shear is like wearing something skin tight: you had better be prepared for everyone to see everything that is regularly covered by your clothes. However, I think when it's done correctly it is truly one of the most elegant ways to dress. This also offers a nice way to show some daring skin in a time of the year where everything is covered up.

Because I love this look so much, I have not only rounded up some examples of shear clothing on Pinterest from my Oh La La Fashion board, but I have also found some places you can find these gauzy items (click the images for their look-a-likes).

Opacity is Audacity!

How do you feel about showing some skin through your clothes?

Smoking Hott Men


Lately, I have noticed a trend in my men's fashion pins on Pinterest. Obviously suits are displayed there profusely because a man in a suit is to a woman as a woman in lingerie is to a man. Suits are sexy. But I have noticed something else catching my eye recently, and it took a great article on AllWomenStalk.com to make me realize it.

The article was about common fetishes. While I would not call this a fetish, it definitely has a draw for me. I have always been drawn to photography of people smoking, but because of my upbringing had always avoided hanging out with smokers. Now that I don't give a hoot who does what as long as they have integrity in their lives, I have found that I really enjoy watching people smoke.

A while back I told my guy that it was a shame he was trying to quit because I would love to take pictures of him smoking. Well, the pictures never happened, but I am still apparently drawn to photography of men smoking and just think it is sexy. Don't judge. I also am beginning to do some deep meditation on whether or not I find tattoos attractive (this is sarcasm, of course I do).

So, in case you also enjoy the smoky men, here are my pins I have spoken of. What do you think of guys smoking? What about women?

One great man on smoking: As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake. - Mark Twain
