Underneath it all...

Nine to Five

Aug 21

Hello Darlings,

From lacy bralettes at Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton to molded corsets at Fendi and Hussein Chalayan, all eyes were on the bust for Fall. That is, when they weren't on the legs or the midriff. YSL's Stefano Pilati channeled Elsa Peretti as a Playboy bunny with a leather one-piece that bared his model's gams, while Roberto Cavalli and Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci played a game of now-you-see-it, now-you-don't peekaboo. Showing a touch of skin in subtle sexy boudoir style is what this fall is all about. "( style.com) Think about Christian Dior Couture Fall 09 show... hello, gorgeous!

"Galliano said he'd been inspired by behind-the-scenes documentary photographs taken more than half a century ago as Monsieur Dior dressed his cabine of mannequins for shows. The conceit of half-dressed models informed the collection, so that hip-emphasizing basques, girdles, lace-edged slips, and petticoats were hybridized into brightly colored variations on the classic wasp-waisted silhouette of Dior's New Look."(style.com)

I am loving this return to classic femininity, where a feminine classic silhouette is updated in modern styles. I find this to be a very refreshing step away from the oh-so-popular grungy look and back into the direction of effortless elegance and grace.

I am in love with this sensual trend, and could not wait to wear my corset tee... and the occasion had finally presented itself :) I was going for a more casual look and paired it with my favorite shorts. A final touch were my Kors booties to keep my footsies dry in the rain.

I am wearing:

Wilfred Bustier Tank

Talula Shorts

Michael Kors Booties

Mackage Leane Leather Jacket

Gold and Platinum Necklace

Diamond and Gold earnings

I love this simple tee, made of pima cotton and contains none of that bustier wiring, therefore resulting it maximum amount of comfort. I am considering picking it up in black and baby blue... hopefully they still have my sizes :)
