Wearing Vintage [Love Maegan]

Maegan, who is the author behind the LA style blog — Love Maegan — looks chic and gorgeous in her original fifties dress that she paired with a mix of vintage and modern accessories. This particular dress is semi-sheer and she put a body suit under it for the picture post — much to her husband's chagrin. Apparently, being able to see through your wife's skirt is NOT a husband approved look for most. My Guy, when asked if he thought I could pull it off, just gave me the "look" and went back to his paper. Evidently, the question does not even warrant an answer around this house (lol)
In her post Maegan admits that she would add a full slip if she was actually going to wear this outfit beyond the realm of a quick style shoot. Which begs me to ask — could you do this look? The sheer skirt with a body suit is all over the runways but is it a look you could translate to day or evening and actually wear in public?
Is it as chic as Maegan makes it look, or does it just make you look like you forgot your underpinnings?
