You really can't even tell it's a corset, it just looks like I have something on with lace at the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1421119 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 23:15:15 +0000 trekkiegirl 1421119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap thanks so much!</p> <p>I work at a global media software company based out of Chicago. The dress code is very relaxed. I did end up wearing the cardigan most of the day, which covered up some of the sexy lol</p> <p>What I think of as my style does show skew in that direction often, I try to balance it with other pieces that are more subdued. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1421118 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 23:14:39 +0000 PalmFronds 1421118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab way to incorporate your two style personas, I love it! You look wickedly good </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1421115 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 23:11:05 +0000 goldenpig 1421115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love the combination of ladylike and edgy. Sleek and pretty and dangerous! Love the lace blouse over the corset and the grey pencil skirt, I like the way you tied the belt too.<br />What was the reaction at work? I'm pretty daring with my workwear (leather skirts, studded heels, etc) but even I don't think I could get away with corsets and lace...it's beautiful though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1421103 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 22:45:43 +0000 Anonymous 1421103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty - makeup , clothing and jewellery. All works well together to &nbsp;my eye. &nbsp;Curious what kind of office environment you work in - the tops, although really pretty ,skew fairly&nbsp;sexy ....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1421031 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:50:11 +0000 Alassë 1421031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1421021 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:39:39 +0000 deb 1421021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this and the necklace works perfectly to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1421012 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:33:09 +0000 Anonymous 1421012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, just fab! What a cool idea to put the leather corset under your lace blouse.I love the shade of&nbsp;your tights to as they pick up on your lipstick nicely. Your make up is flawless btw.&nbsp;Oh, and I think the necklace works because it echoes your own skin tone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1420894 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 17:07:15 +0000 rachylou 1420894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I think you've nailed ladylike edge. What a great outfit. Very punkesque. We know I like punk </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladylike-with-an-edge#post-1420885 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:48:40 +0000 trekkiegirl 1420885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an outfit I'm really excited to share, because I feel like it pulls from two aspects of my style that are typically separate, but today I've combined. What I mean by that is - at work, I tend to lean more toward the "ladylike elegance" as shown in the navy wrap dress. On the weekends though, and especially given that I sing in two rock bands and my husband and I run a (very small) indie/punk record label, my style is definitely more influenced by those personal factors. </p> <p>Today I'm wearing:<br />High waisted gray wool pencil skirt I've had forever, no clue where it came from, probably thrifted<br />Skinny black belt by Betsy Johnson, one of my favorite designers, knotted&nbsp; (the underside of the belt is leopard which you see occasionally)<br />Tights that are somewhere between maroon and oxblood<br />Platform peep toe oxford lace up heels with a bit of patent leather on the saddle shoe design<br />Black faux leather corset with gold zipper details (simple black spaghetti strap tank under that) from Dots<br />Black lace top over the corset<br />I also have a black cardigan to throw on if i get chilly, but it's not part of the planned "look" so I didn't take a picture of it. It's very lightweight and falls just below my natural waist<br />Gold and soft pink art deco necklace and matching earrings<br />Mid-height pony with volume on the criown<br />Nude eyes and dark red lips</p> <p>I'm not sure about the necklace. The pink doesn't show up much in these photos. I really wanted to wear it, but is it really offputting to have soft pink with the dark red tights and lips?</p>
