Corsets!

I loooooove corsets. They are so feminine and flattering and sexy. My girlfriends and I decided this past summer that it would be fun to have a corset night when our hubbies' bands played at the local biker bar. Y'know, dress it up a little bit to have a little fun in an environment that we weren't used to being in. It just so happened to also be a biker dudes reunion of some kind that same weekend. So to say that we stuck out like sore thumbs all glammed up in our foxy corset outfits would be an understatement. It was fun.

The weeks leading up to that evolved into what I like to call The Big Corset Hunt. I bought corsets. A LOT of corsets. I bought animal print, lace overlay, leather, satin, mandarin-inspired, red ones, black ones, silver ones, pink ones, ivory ones polka dotted ones, single lace up, double lace up, front laced, front busk closure.... It was like a goddamn boudoir session had exploded in my bedroom. It was fabulous.

In the end, I chose to wear a silver corset with black lace overlay. It was hot. I loved it. It's probably still my favourite one, next to the one I wore this weekend to another show the guys had.

This is the only decent shot I got of the lace overlay from this summer:


Ya all the bikers liked it too. Hehe. And if we all weren't so busy hiding at our table by the stage I'm sure they would have told us, too...

My other fav would have to be the pink and black one I wore the other night. It was really pretty how it kept catching the light.

Pretty hair to go with pretty corset

There are tons more where that came from, but those are my two favourites.

Statement Necklace

Lovin' this statement necklace I picked up from Avon! Decided to keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the necklace shine so I wore it with thigh high boots (purchased from Sears 3-4 years ago), a burn out tee(Bluenotes) and black skinny jeans (also Bluenotes).

'Tis the Season!

Well ladies, it's December and we all know what that means, right? Christmas parties! Endless opportunities to dress up and pig out! Oh yes. I was doing a little Christmas shopping today and while searching the men's side of Bootlegger I accidentally fell upon this sweet lace dress. Besides the fact that it fits SO small that I almost had a fucking hernia trying to get a MEDIUM off (fml I haven't been a medium since shortly after my son was born ugh). I'm not even kidding. I even thought to myself as I struggled in vain to get this son of a bitchin' thing off that I was glad I wasn't wearing my ugly panties just in case I actually had to get the sales girl to wrestle it off of me....Isn't it cute, though? I know we aren't supposed to buy stuff for ourselves during the season but I did need a new dress to wear to one of my many parties this month. And this is one I had been admiring on Pinterest for some time so when I found it at Below the Belt for $60?! I was like wow. Dude. Yes.
