One of my favorite trends lately has been wearing sheer items where you can see a bandeau or bra underneath. I was able to get away with this trend here and here. This time around? Well... let's just say you don't get a full front shot today. This top was a little too sheer. Whoopsie doodles! Good thing I wore this outfit on a weekend, in a ghost beach town. Next time I'll be sure to pair a camisole under this polka-dot beauty. ;)
I'm loving how it's still light out when I get home from work. It only lasts an hour or so, but I mean... compared to driving home in the dark, this is amazing! I'm really looking forward to only having a 5 minute commute when we move. I'll have SO much daylight! Weeee! Now the temperatures just need to kick it up a notch. I'm thinking 50s and I'll be happy. I remember last St. Patrick's Day, spring finally hit. I'm hoping it happens the same way this year.
Nothing else is new, really! I have my outfits mostly planned for the Texas Style Council Conference (can't wait!). I just need to pick out my two items to swap for the Swap event and get details ready. I'm going to try and just do a carry-on this time. With warm weather, hopefully that's doable. Also - if you're attending, Elizabeth of Delightfully Tacky and I will be the speakers at the "Blogging 101" table on Saturday, so be sure to sign up! It'll be lots of fun! I cannot wait to meet everyone.

I love those pants with the mocs! So cute! Yes! The sunlight is awesome, it just makes you feel better to have a little more daylight :)

Yes, I have a similar shirt, which I have soon discovered needs a cami underneath.
Have fun at the conference. Wish we had blogging conferences here in Australia!

I am in love with those pants! Super adorable! The top is great, too!

Loving the top! But not so sure about a bra showing through... a bandeau maybe, but a bra? A little to provocative for me!
As a high school girl, I see plenty of girls attempt the style, and while I don't mind it on you, I'm sorry to say we call "those" girls at school sluts.

I am a very similar top from H&M. It's one of my favorites, but definitely not something I'd have the courage wear it without a cami underneath. But I love how you pulled it off here! And I love the moccasins with the tailored pants - very fun mix of business and casual. Lovely, as always!

adorable! Love the dots!
Too-sheer or not, that blouse is darling :)
I am LOVING all the daylight as well! This winter has gone by so much faster than I thought it would (the lack of snow probably has something to do with that, haha)...and spring really will be here before we know it! I hope everything goes smoothly with the move :)

I'm in love with those pants! What a great fit-and the perfect length on you! Cropped pants are always a funny length on me. I think you found the perfect light for your photos too-so pretty!
Woah already picked out all your TX outfits? holy cow... now i'm freaking out. I've hardly thought about packing. gulp. Though i think i know what 2 things i'm swapping - does that count for a bit of organisation? maybe? not? hehehe
oh well, can't wait to see you hun! and i think this outfit looks really cute, even if the top/bra situation didn't quite turn out how you wanted :)
Love that top! I've been wanting a polka dot sheer top forever!

Oh this outfit is so comfy and sexy!--which is what I try to aim for and most often miss. Loving how you paired it all with the moccasins. Such a unique touch!
aw, you'll have so much fun! can't wait to see all the outfits you have planned for the conference!

The top is a bit cheeky but then so are you ;)
I have always loved sheer tops. Very cute Tieka.
I love this. It's effortlessly sexy and appears easy to toss on. The polka dots are too cute!
love the old world cuteness, And I think the peekaboo is cute too!!

I love those pants! You are much braver than I am...I can't bring myself to wear sheer shirts without at least a cami underneath, but I love the way they look!
XOXO, Lindsey
I stumbled upon your blog through a link that Rachel at "Smile and Wave" posted, and immensely enjoyed reading your posts. I was delighted to realize that, like myself, you're from GR then moved to GH! Well, actually I'm a couple minutes north of GH, but I spend plenty of time there. Feeling a connection to the scenes in some of your photos makes reading your blog even more enjoyable! Keep it up!
I can't really express how frustrated I am that I can't be there for the style council! Granted, I'm in Boston, nowhere close to Texas, but still! I'm sure you guys will have a great time though - can't wait to hear about it! :]]]

i love the sheer blouse trend too! i've found it works the best with high waisted things ... i think it looks less flashy when my belly button isn't showing. great blouse!
This outfit, I simply adore!! Great lighting btw :)

I love the colouring in the first photo. It's so exciting to catch the best lighting in the late afternoon - evening isn't it?
super cute (like always)

Love the moccasins!
I love you in your pants!They look great on you.

What a beautiful light! And a beautiful shirt

Oh, I had a sheer blouse faux pas, once. I cannot believe I didn't think about it... When I saw the photos from the night, sheer bra, plus sheer blouse... still equals sheer. I asked a girlfriend that was there why she didn't tell me and she replied that she thought it was a deliberate choice. WHAT, ARE YOU NUTS? :/
I guess the appropriate level of sheerness all has to do with one's individual comfort level. I love a hint of bra, but am usually a little too reserved to give it a full go. You look amazing, I'm sure no one was worried that you didn't have a cami! :)
I love that blouse, but I'm never brave enough to wear something so sheer without a little top underneath. If I was a little more flat chested I think I'd be braver! x
Funny how something can look totally fine at home, but then you look at the pictures and you're like...umm, I'm naked!! Honestly this doesn't seem that bad though, and I'm sure the late-day light didn't help. Either way you look totally gorgeous! I love that you paired the sexy, sheer top with casual pants + mocs to keep it realistic. Perfection!!
I wish I could go to Texas Style Council! So many of my fav bloggers are speaking. Maybe next year...
These pictures are gorgeous, as per usual. Your pants rock with this outfit! The blouse is super pretty, too-sheer or not! xx
LOVE this top - so subtly sexy...and I love the way you paired it with those more casual pants and moccasins. Looks fabulous :)

You look so gorg! I too love wearing sheer tops with a bra underneath, va va voom! At least you have boobies! I miss you, A LOT. Can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!
Eee, I'm swooning over here Tieka! What an amazingly beautiful outfit, those pants, absolutely love how you've styled them!! And throwing your moccasins into the mix is a super cute touch too.
And how refreshing that you'll only have a 5 minute commute. I work from home & I SO love my lack of commuting. Blissful really!! Yay, TXSC - time is flying by. Happy weekend, sweet lady. Smooches. V
I love the sheer polka dot top!

Love those mocassins! I've done that before with a sheer blouse, it always reminds me of Monica from Friends when she is singing at the club. You look amazing as always though!

I love my minnetonka moccasins! I bought the ones without the soles in them. They came with a beaded design which I took off. I wear them so much that they have holes in them now. I need a new pair :)
the blouse looks great and I loveeee those shoes! they look so cute and comfortable :)
Love those awkward but hilarious moments when you realize a fashion faux pas :) Love the sheer blouse though (cute polka dots!) and the pants especially...darling with the moccasins. Happy Weekend!

Love this look! The top is sheer, but hey, you took a style risk! Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't!

I love the sheer top with those pants and shoes! So chic! XOXO, www.NatalyasCloset.com
You look so cute.
It's twilight in the UK at half 5 when I leave work and I can't wait till its light when I pull up outside my house!

You are so brave with the sheer top look! I always look super scandalous when I try to pull it off. Ha.
I wish I were going to the Texas Style Council Conference! I would so love to meet you and Elizabeth, both! Maybe one daaayyy. =)

Uh oh! Don't you hate it when you totally adore an outfit and then realize something like that about it? I wore a dress one time that bunched up on my tights and I mooned people all day long! (Hey, it happens!) Haha!
It has been mid 60s- low 70s here in Georgia! It is going to be one heck of a sweltering summer. All of us southern folks just know it!
xoxo!

Such an amazing outfit! It's a little out of the box for you, and I love that. :) I would totally wear it!
Gorgeous! I love the sheer top. And I'm so jealous of your weather! St. Patrick's day here (Ireland) is always FREEZING!
You are so cute! :)
Lovely outfit on you as usual! Okay I know how it feels when you're wearing a shirt and didn't expect it to be so sheer. I had this situation some time ago when I was pegging out washing on the balcony and realized that some neighbours from an other house were staring and whispering...
So I think you still handled the situation elegantly by turning your back against the sun in the pics and using the shadows for your advantage ;)
great blouse and cute shoes
such a cute outfit! love those mocassins. xx

Love the outfit! Polka dots are so fun!
I'm looking forward to TxSC. You and Elizabeth are two of my favorite bloggers! After finding Delightfully Tacky, I quickly found yours. I've been reading for a couple years now and am happy to see the good things happening in both your lives! Glad ya'll get to come to Texas!
I absolutely adore those pants! May have to get some so I can copy this look with my own polka dot shirt and moccasins :)
