So I’ve been doing a healthy amount of shopping lately (my justification: the economy needs my help). I went out for martinis last night and decided to play dress up and play around with some new stuff. Plus when I’m mulling an article of clothing I do like to see it on a non-model body, so maybe I can help some of you decide.

lots of photographic evidence of my recent shopping sprees; corset might be considered NSFW )

b) Heh, sorry. It took a while for me to break down and buy myself a new corset since I was so annoyed that my old one no longer fits. It's not like I have too many opportunities to wear one, but I was irritated that I no longer had the option, you know?
I was really pleasantly surprised at the quality and value of Alter Ego. I've seen many corsets that cost five times as much but aren't any nicer. And I love that she makes larger sizes.

PS: You're lovely and that Alice in Wonderland skirt is to die for!

I too love that goofy Alice skirt. I actually forgot that my best friend is having a 4th of July party, so I think I'll trot it out then.

But I'm curious- other than the black dress, what else goes with it? I'm only asking because I'm not fashion talented, but I need to branch out. ;) I'm not very daring! I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of chica but I would love to change my ways.

I think I want the "seafaring" one next:

I am trying to ween myself off of all-black-all-the-time, so I think that happy and colorful belts are good training wheels for that.
As for what else it goes with, maybe people more savvy than I can chime in. I feel like I'll wear it with dresses, mostly, but I imagine it would look nice even over a tee shirt and jeans -- I'll give it a try. I also threw it on when I was wearing the green dress but didn't take a picture.

And obi belts, huh? I'm thick-waisted and have a fear of belts, but you're making me seriously reconsider. Thanks again for posting; it's so helpful to see clothes on a non-model body.
