Katie at Knickers Blog gets the credit for telling me about this sale.
Skin, a neophyte on the lingerie and loungewear scene, creates undergarments that are best described as simply sensual. I particularly love the soft fabrics and sophisticated shapes because they’re all about enhancing every woman’s natural beauty.
Access to the sale is by invitation only and pieces are selling for up to 70% off retail price (the stockings above were $90, now $27). At the very least, I think it’s worth signing up to see an alternate perspective on lingerie.
So…what do you think of those stockings? Boring? Or Beautiful?
Between Mad Men, Dita von Teese, and the rebirth of Burlesque, people are getting passionate over all things vintage. I’ve posted a few of my favorite throwback designs below, but I want to know what you think of this trend.
Yay or nay…is retro lingerie here to stay?

I’m dreadfully sick with a head cold so I’m afraid there’ll be no cleverness on my part. But please feel free to take over with your comments!
We’re also going to do something a bit different today and go from highest to lowest price. Don’t fret though…there’s still something here for everyone.
