Does this dress not scream summer (or south-of-the-border holiday)? I love the woven Aztec fabric and electric colors. It's a total head-turner and such a no-brainer with or . And it's $134.

As you may have gathered from previous , I am a big fan of lace and its peekaboo properties. So, it should come as no surprise that I am fully embracing this spring's sheer trend and all the diaphanous dresses and skirts that are about to flood stores. The organza dress (above) is a good one because the silhouette is conservative, which offsets the sexiness of the transparent fabric. And it's styled perfectly, with opaque tights and boots providing coverage on the bottom. You could also wear a red or white slip underneath this dress to amp up its playfulness. Here's another example of shrewd under-sheer layering:

*Try swapping out the belt that comes with a dress with a very-right-now wide leather black belt or a more day-casual woven one.

P.S. I once had the pleasure of attending an intimate dinner party at Lela's Manhattan apartment. It's incredible, with amazing photography, a circular banquette in the living room, and a wood table that rises up from the floor. You can see pics here.

The take-home message: try layering sheer looks with the unexpected, from retro lingerie to sporty boy shorts to simple camisoles. And never bare too much skin. Never.
