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 :-)).


Corset Top - Topshop £30
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...
