Today I wore... To My Graduation Ball...

My new corset top from Topshop. I love the stitching and gold zip detail. I think the colours fit perfectly into the current dark grungy look with a glam edge. Originally, as the occasion was a ball, I wanted to go for a black midi skirt and add a petticoat for a formal look. However I couldn't find one in time, so I opted for my friends grey Topshop mini skirt with frills down the back. (A bit more suitable for the club I was going to after aswell :-)).

For this look, as usual, I mixed up masculine and feminine elements, teaming the corset top and skirt with black Topshop wedge boots, plenty of gold jewellery and essential red lips....

I really like these jewellery pieces to add an edge to girly outfits...

I was unsure how many different ways I could wear this corset top when I first bought it, but I'm so glad I did. I think this kind of top you can team with anything highwaisted. I plan to wear mine with denim shorts, midi or pencil skirts and a pair of black smoking trousers. Corset tops are definitely worth the investment, and not just a summer item. Topshop have some great ones for winter/Christmas, check them out...

My Graduation...

I've been busy busy busy the last few weeks, and to end all the hectic-ness in style, I had my graduation! Although I finished University in May, it was great to draw a line under uni and celebrate our degrees. Despite the nerves of having to juggle my gown, hat and new office high heels, whilst walking across the stage to collect my certificate, it was a great day and I really enjoyed myself :-) It was also lovely to catch up with all my fellow graduates, who, may I add, are a bunch of very talented people! I loved studying at Southampton Solent as it's such a creative uni, full of lots of inspiring people, with unique talents and styles.
Here's a few photograph's of my day.....

Underneath my gown I wore a black bodycon mid-length dress with wide scoop neck from Asos, and black courts with built in platforms from Office. Simple yet sophisticated was the idea....

Shoes - Office £68.00, Dress - ASOS £30.00

Now University is all done and dusted, I will post some of my project work and portfolio in the near future, for you all to check out...
