Beach Coverup/Dress, Courtesy Buff Ex

I snagged this slightly transparent shirtdress thang at Buffalo Exchange a month or so ago with the intention of wearing it as a beach coverup only. I eventually realized it was simply too fab to be relegated to summer weekends at the Jersey Shore. There had to be a way to wear it as a dress without looking like I’d forgotten to put on pants.

When I’m faced with a conundrum of this ilk, I turn to the one item proven to un-slut anything too-short or slightly see-through: Tights. Two pairs layered, in this case.

I used the belt portion of my Forever 21 Schlep Pants to make the beach coverup more convincing as a dress. Maybe it’s still a bit risque, but so too are the Eighties, which have recently been deemed uber-IN. I’m not worried about it.
All told, I got a beach coverup AND a dress for $22.95.

Yaay.
