Spring Theme: Loungerie for S/S 2011

Loungerie - Lingerie as outer wear.  Remember Jennifer Garner's "13 going on 30" movie?  Recall the scene where she jumped out of the bed disoriented in her nighties and found herself on the street and her BFF found her in her Silk Lingerie and commented that it is so whatever year?  Yep, that one.  Look for that one or dresses similar to it.  2011 is all about silk and laces, and lingerie apparently is the mother queen of anything smooth, silky and lacey-- not to mention "see through"...and designers are bringing it on the street.

I'm wondering if a corset would be a trend, so far, I haven't seen one.  Most of the stuff I've noticed are flowy and sheer dresses...but with the biker/punk chic theme, a corset might just pull the trick for ladies like me who needs to be "bound" for our curves to show.  Unlike the super slim supermodels, I'd be better off with a simple and plain---and maybe a sheer tee and a corset on top of it.  does it fit the 70's theme? A corset with lace and ruffles?  I remember seeing a guess? ad with the model wearing a corset...it is definitely gaining momentum...just have to wait the first brave souls to try it, then we, stupid people, can follow hehehe.  

But Loungerie theme is all about being soft (ehem, corset might be in a different spring category), with a hint of nostalgia.  It communicates intimacy and eternal seduction without being overtly sexual.  There are women who are just ravishing in the morning...

In terms of color, Spring 2011 is definitely all about freshness -- brights and whites.
