It definitely wasn't a secret.

Yikes. If I look uncomfortable in that picture, it's because I am VERY uncomfortable. I feel way too overexposed. The bralette is comfortable, but it doesn't provide much support for someone with bigger boobs like me. I know bralettes aren't designed to be as supportive as regular bras, but I was still surprised. It definitely doesn't look as cute on me as it does on the model, and the bottom part scrunched up a lot. I honestly don't think I'd be able to get away with this outfit, even at BuzzFeed. I came up behind a couple co-workers to ask them how I looked and they were visibly shocked by this outfit. They definitely didn't think it was work-appropriate. The blazer does nothing to make it ~professional~. This was my least favorite out of the three.
Out of all three looks, I think this is the only one that could sort of pass as a real work outfit. But only if your boss never looks at you and also your company doesn't have HR. It's amazingly comfortable, though. The silkiness of the slip mixed with the softness of the cardigan made me feel so cozy. I actually had to go to a meeting right after I took this picture, so I left the outfit on. One co-worker said I looked like a "hot baby," and another noted that while I looked lovely, this is more of an "after 6 p.m." outfit. The only tough thing about this slip is that the plunge is very deep. That doesn't work for a bigger-boobed person, and I had to adjust the straps to keep it from being pornographic. But that also meant it hung weirdly on my body. Still, I might try to get away with wearing this little number again.
I had a tough time bending over in the skirt and slip, which makes them hard to rock outside my apartment, let alone at work. The bra also left me feeling a little too naked for daytime wear. While the slip was undoubtedly the thing that most resembled actual clothing, the lace skirt is the one I could see myself wearing...at night, to a bar, if I'm trying to convince people I'm edgy.
I honestly love the concept of underwear as outerwear, but I just think these particular pieces don't make the cut. I don't feel empowered if I constantly run the risk of accidentally flashing someone. Nice try, though, Victoria's Secret.
