Apparently there is something going around saying that women need to start wearing corsets again, but like, under our clothes? To look skinny? Like they used to do in Gone With The Wind?! Please don't start doing that. It's so unhealthy, seriously.
Now that that's out of the way. I love corsets! In a decorative way... like as part of an outfit.
This is my steam punk look. I like putting grays and browns together. So I have my adorable brown heels with the little bows, my tight but stretchy (stretch is good) pencil mini skirt, my steam punk corset AND goggles. I finished it off with my Golden Snitch locket (I like to sneak a little Harry Potter in here and there).
Side note: I collect goggles because I'm EXTRA cool (*sarcasm*)
If you're not into the girly skirt paired with heels then trade out the skirt for shorts and the heels for boots! I think I actually prefer it that way. Have I mentioned boots are great?

Being that I'm pretty tall and have a long torso, it is really hard to find cute little dresses that lay in all the right places. Usually the bodice is trying to crawl up to my neck and no matter how many times I pull it down or re-position it, it pops back up above my boobs. This also means it's not going to cover my butt which forces me to wear shorts or leggings. This stress, I mean... dress, is a great example of an adorable dress that makes me look like a giant! But throw a corset on and pull the dress down and it all stays in place. Not to mention the bit of pizzazz a corset adds, to any outfit really. Wearing my favorite boots again. They go with everything. No wait.... Yeah... EVERYTHING.
Normally this next dress would keep falling down. And the black piece at the top comes to about 2 inches below my boobs before the skirt flares out which is just awkward looking with my height. I love how poofy this dress is because when I hook the corset overtop I don't have to worry about it squeezing my love muffins (love handles + muffin tops= love muffins) and making them protrude out really far. My earrings came from a thrift shop for just a couple bucks. I love wearing them with strapless shirts/dresses. My shoulders tend to look a little funky all naked otherwise.
Side note: please wear boots with dresses. You won't regret it
FINE! Don't wear boots! See if I care!
But seriously, just to show that all shoes are basically interchangeable, I threw on some heels for a second. Converse would be really cute as well. Excuse my raptor hand creepin' out from behind me there

These are my only two right now but honestly I don't feel like I need that many of them.
Let me know how you feel about corsets. Thank you for reading.
