[1]It seems like an absolute age since I wrote about Jil Sander's SS08 collection [2] and the colours of the skies Raf Simons painted in the sheer pieces.  I was about *this* (makes a centimetre with thumb and index) to caving and buying an ombre Jil Sander cape from Luisa Viaroma [3] but in the end, I opted to just let it lie and see what sort of sheer cheapness comes along. 

In the end, it was cheapness indeed as I bought these sheer bed jackets [4] at $0.01 each...yup that's 1 cent each and with some sheer that I already had in the form of a vintage slip dress and black Topshop sheer pocketed tunic, it's my less frou-frou version of sheer with a nudge towards that dusky sky that Simons expertly conveyed. 

Of course, tulle layer cakes are still on my mind but simple sheer will also suffice.  [5]
