how NOT to wear open back styles.......

 
i took this photo in florence this summer while with my friend thea (of thea grant). i had to dodge a few vespas and taxi's but i felt it was important photo. a few things necessary to fully view this photo:

 it was july, hot, humid and the fabrics worn are spandex! first layer is a bra, with a halter bodysuit
worn over the bra and a lycra mini skirt worn over the bodysuit & then
worn with suede boots. hmmm

kids, this is not the way to rock the backless looks that are so popular in unbearable heat. i am a believer in a little bit of skin being seductive, cool, interesting and mysterious. i also think it's necessary to pay attention to your fabrics when choosing for summer. choose natural fibers that breath.
spandex does not breathe.

i just finished placing my orders for spring and finished portland fashion week. here is what i came up with for how to do backless correctly.
what do you think are the best ways to keep cool and chic in the summer?
