She Tried Victoria’s Secret’s (Un)Dress Code Out At Work And Felt Very Exposed

#1 This is how she get those dresses.

When Nina heard Victoria's Secret was trying to sell lingerie as "outside wear," she definitely wanted to give it a try!

The mini-collection was called the (Un)Dress Code. Victoria's Secret received some backlash for the collection on Facebook and ended up pulling the ads from its site. Her Team bought some pieces from the collection while they were still for sale on the site, but they are no longer available.

#2 Her first piece was this lace pencil skirt ($52).

She actually really liked this skirt, She said "I just have no idea how to wear it! It gave me a very goth-madame vibe. It's also completely sheer lace, from the waist to the hem. She tried to style it how Victoria's Secret has it on the model. However, her one oversized sweater didn't cut it. Bending over or raising my arms would result in the entire office seeing my not-so-cute underwear of the day. Still, she don't think this skirt is totally hopeless. her co-workers said it was a confusing look, but that they liked it nonetheless. One even wanted to borrow it. she said "it like pairing it with a bodysuit or putting it under a short body-con dress would actually make it kinda, sorta work-appropriate? OK, maybe only in the BuzzFeed office. But it would make for a cute going-out look."

#3 Very Uncomfortable Dress in Public!

Seriously, it's very hard to sit down and bend over. Even turning around seemed too revealing.

#4 Next piece she tried was this little green bralette ($58.50).

she look uncomfortable in this picture. she said she feel way too overexposed. The bralette is comfortable, but it doesn't provide much support for someone with bigger boobs like her. she knew bralettes aren't designed to be as supportive as regular bras, but she was still surprised. It definitely doesn't look as cute on her as it does on the model, and the bottom part scrunched up a lot. she added "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."

#5 People really struggled to look at her face when they talked to her.

#6 The last item she tried was this cute green slip ($68).

She said "Out of all three looks, I think this one 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."

#7 This slip also didn’t pass the bend-over test because the bottom quarter of it is totally sheer!

#8 Overall, she think these three pieces are cute and comfy, but they just don’t feel practical enough to rock at work.
