Maria, that's a beautiful dress! If I see a necklace, I'll let you know.

I always wonder if these people have several matched sets of shoes and purses, or if they only ever wear lime green.

Sort of. I do it a bit, but not nearly as much as a friend of mine. For her, she has different sets of colors. So black and white stuff, neutral stuff, pastel stuff, bright colored stuff. Then the shoes, purse, and other accessories match those categories. So, she may have a baby blue purse that goes with the pastel striped skirt and also with the baby blue shirt/khaki skirt combo. She's really very good at the matching without being overly matchy.

I'm alarmed that it was about 50 posts about colored underpants before anyone mentioned the idea of the slip.

I don't like slips. If I'm wearing a light, gauzy skirt, I don't want the added layer of a slip.

I do own fairly light/gauzy skirts, and I wear a SLIP under them

What colour slip? I mean -- unders are unders -- unless the slip exactly matches the skirt in cut or the flesh in tone, isn't it visible somehow?

What kind of thing are you looking for, Maria? How about

Black pearls: [link]

Sterling with garnet and marcasite: [link]

I guess it depends what the beading on the front looks like.

I own a slip, but I usually wear it as a dress or nightgown.

I am not very modest at all.

ChiKat is me.

I've been looking on Overstock for most of the afternoon. How come I didn't find those? Hmph.

I looove the marcasite and garnet one. That's close to what I was picturing in my head. The black pearls are a good idea too.

I own slips - haven't worn them in ages. but then most of my clothig is easy clothing. somewaht heavier fabrics with body - my unwritten/unspoken/not-so-well-followed rule is that 90% of my clothing must be easy and forgiving - the rest can matter.

I am much more disturbed by what is happeing on Justic League than I am about how people's underware looks under their clothing. as long as it is uner.

Well, today I am wearing a grey linen skirt that's pretty lightweight. I wore it without a slip at my grandmother's memorial service and noticed (whoops!) that when backlit, it was fairly transparent. So right now I'm wearing black underpants, a white slip, and the skirt, and feeling fairly confident that nobody is noticing what's under my skirt. Which is, to me, the point of appropriate undergarments (in a work context) - to be not noticed.

I guess I feel that if a skirt is so gauzy as to actually be see-through, it hardly matters what you wear under it.
