Is it me or has the light in London been REALLY pretty? That isn't a dozy question coming from my painkillered state of mind. At least I don't think it is… No, the light really has been a treat and it makes me itch to get walking hence why I've been out and about even though it kills the ankle the next morning. Such is the draw of sunshine in London that I'm willing to grit my teeth for a few hours of joy…
Anyhow the light flooding into my greenhouse of an apartment has got me thinking about getting diaphanous again except my sheer items are still fairly limited in terms of colour palette and not nearly as structured as I'd like them to be. Whites, navies and blacks in gauzey loose tees/dresses… some fabric purchases of coloured organza should remedy the dullness (have an especially odd DIY project I'd like to embark on fairly soon…). The newest addition to the sheer family being this black t-shirt with embroidered circles bought from UpMarket yesterday for ¬£20.
The rest you've seen before except for perhaps the last ensemble which doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the picture below but more so in the one to the left – an outfit I wore in Paris where a black sheer tunic courtesy of Treasure Chest Vintage went over the Forever 21 grey jersey giant paillette dress.
I'm hoping there are more light filled apartment days to come seeing as the Diaphanous really has taken over the brain and I'll even ensure that I do the D word without having to expose my scarred and battered legs.

Love the sheer tee with the black circles.
I love the outfit you wore in Paris especially . . . I continue to think up ways of stealing that jacket . . .
Gah! You are making me very,very homesick! LLGxx
That first sheer tee is utterly amazing.
Thanks for the link Susie
But you could have let me a little comment
to encourage me …………………………………
Fred
so in love with the sheer dresses
Beautiful photos!
Fabulous finds!
Is that a Chanel I spy??
Fred…left a comment…but in general I don’t tend to leave comments on streetstyle blogs…. what else can I say other than “Err…nice pics!!!!!!”…
Natty: It’s a very ye olde Chanel bag…
The sunshine makes everyone feel better, we should get at least 15 minutes of it a day.
These double exposed photos are genius for displaying sheer fabrics, but you already knew that. I haven’t seen any better out of the fashion mags, great job!
D*mn that girl for pushing past you, I hope your ankle heals soon. xo
Loving the sheer fabrics.
I was happy to them on the catwalks for autumn/winter.
Great pieces…

The tweenage desire for Liberty Nikedunks in your sportswear post . . . isn’t there a pair right by your bare feet in the entry before that?!
Very nice. I don’t know if you have Club Monaco in the UK, but they have come out with some nice sheer silk pocket tank tops:

I’m really loving these images! The sheerness of the layered photos + your sheer lovely clothes = beautiful.
Did you get the shoes in the top pic at H&M? I have the same ones in black. They’re super comfy.
Cool pictures, you look beautiful 🙂
Thanks for your comment Susie !
You did it !!
See you next time in Fashion Week of Paris

These photos are just gorgeous, Susie!
There’s something about the time of year when the sun is really low in the sky–but it’s still bright out–that’s just fantastic for photos. If only I wasn’t stuck in an office half that time.
& *love* the double exposed photos.
This sheer layering is genius, and the photo editing looks so amazing! I need to save these in my faves folder, asap!
The embroidered top is just gorgeous, the layering op’s for that one are endless.
And the lightning really does look lovely in those pictures…
Love the Upmarket tee – is that the Upmarket at Truman Brewery? If so, who’s the designer/seller?
Susie you’re so stunning and cute at the same time! Mmm sheer <3
you rule the fashblog kingdom, matriarch, i don’t know how you took those photos but they’re incredible.
great pictures. Did you do them your self? really fits the mood of the clothing subject and the airy light. You pulled it all together quite nicely. (in the back of my head I, not infrequently, think of fashion shoot ideas of you)
