Earlier this week, this article in the Wall Street Journal had me seriously reassessing the lingerie trend I’ve been so smitten with this season. It claims the spring runways’ boudoir themes “risk turning off many professional or mature women, who can only imagine how embarrassing it would be to wear such things.” I’m a professional, mature (most of the time) woman. I’m not supposed to like this look? But I do. And I don’t think it’s embarrassing. Now, I won’t be going pantsless anytime soon, but I’m also not going to wear a head-to-toe copy of any runway look. This trend is meant to be dissected and diffused and turned into something wearable. Three pieces that make it a breeze:
	Racy? Yes. It’s Kiki de Montparnasse after all. But this frisky piece can be tamed. With a boyfriend blazer and heavy chain necklaces, suddenly it’s less sex kitten, more sleek sophisticate. Kiki de Montparnasse - Boudoir Catsuit
	A cami is perhaps the easiest way to infuse lingerie inspiration into any look. I’d pair this one with a chunky cardigan, my favorite jeans, and oxford flats. Only Hearts - Cami with Lace
	Standard-issue tee from the front, this hints at delicate romance with its sheer, lacy back. I’d dress it up with a pencil skirt and booties. Blue Life - '80s Flashback Tee
When it comes to fashion, if you like it, you should wear it. Find it, in What’s New. --Amie
