Cassandra Hobbins’ sheer midi dress. Photo via Fashion Star on Pinterest.
I don’t know why, but I had Kendrick Lamar’s “Swimming Pools (Drank)” in my head during Friday’s episode of Fashion Star.
Maybe it’s because the show’s “Sex Sells” theme made me feel like I was 21 again, and that sexy was as attainable as fake IDs, a nice butt and free drinks from hot guys at the bar once were (RIP my 21-year-old self).
“Why, yes,” I found myself saying to my dog. “I could wear something like that. Or that. Heck, I could slip on any one of these dresses right now, head to a super suave lounge and toss my hair back as I laugh with girlfriends over bright green martinis.”
My movie-esque daydream felt as though it could become reality with the click of some stilettoed heels. And I think that’s because all of the competing designers did a fab job of selling sexy by constructing wearable silhouettes of sultry.
Edmonton’s own Cassandra Hobbins sold her sheer midi dress to Saks Fifth Avenue. It was a sophisticated look, which I liked a lot. I’m all about sheer this season and have been since last spring.
Other items that made me want to down some cotton candy vodka, stick my head out of a limo and take gratuitous duck face selfies included Daniel’s bodycon slashed dress and Hunter’s mesh ponte dress.
Thanks, Fashion Star designers, for letting a girl know she can still look good without resembling a stripper.
