The door in my wardrobe*

*the door not actually being there was a disappointment - but at least I was allowed to play with the clothes

//// Body conscious

Posted on | May 9, 2010 | 2 Comments

Yes, I have lost some weight, but I’m still not too confident with body conscious silhouettes for quite obvious reasons — and I doubt that whatever range my weight settles, doing bodyconscious dressing will probably not be my thing. But I could not resist on toying with this bargain corset I got from eBay last autumn — it is a superb detailed garment and so far it has been here in one drawing only. I doubt that I will never fully showcase it as a part of an outfit, but I like the idea of exposing it partially, this time like a low slung extra wide corset “belt”.

I built this outfit thinking about going out to relatively casual places… …so I’m wearing Cheap Monday pale blue jeans, sheer H&M vest over the corset which is worn in such a way that I can sit comfortably, and I turned the garters underneath to tone down its underwearishness. I really like how the elastics have yellowed from pure white to ivory, it makes combining this piece much more interesting. The lace biker is from H&M, too — and those suede booties are from my Berlin trip. I could not find the white American Apparel ruched top which would have extended the line of the corset under the sheer top layer, so that’s the explanation for black. And this was a test drive anyway…

I doubt that I will never go out like this — but if I change the top part to something very loose and short enough to let the corset peek from underneath… …yes, that might be the solution…

    I seriously like the way you mix and match your garments, you are very very good at it. You think and care about the details, for example the corset, from the front it looks like a belt, at the back with the slight exposure of it makes the outfit more interesting, the corset lacing is just great! This is your fashion and your art of wearing it, which I think is really wonderful and amazing! keep going :)

    peace and love~
