Three Outfits with Marie Corset Top

For scheduling reasons I had to split up FemmeLuxe week this month so today and tomorrow's posts will be the continuation from last week, but I promise they'll be worth the little wait. I think that at the top of my list for outfit posts is the kind where I see one piece of clothing worn in several outfits so that I can really get a good picture of its potential. I would like to start doing more of these on my blog. It takes a little more planning and a little more time which can be difficult when my schedule is already packed, but I think the outcome is worth the extra effort.

I love FemmeLuxe's Joggers, T-Shirts, and Loungewear for getting comfortable around the house and I was so pleased to be able to showcase one of their loungewear sets this month. And of course, you know I love trying corset tops from FemmeLuxe. I've done several now and it's so much fun styling them.  I typically do several outfits with them over the course of a few months. But today's post with the Black Faux Leather Corset Crop top- Marie will be the first time I've done three outfits with one corset top in the same post. I've decided to call this post Crazy, Sexy, Cool as the theme for each outfit.

Be prepared though, with so many outfits we have a lot of ground to cover and a lot of photos so this post is going to be long, but it's going to be soooooo goood!

Outfit 1: Crazy Ok, I don't really think this outfit is crazy. I would probably call it whimsical or playful, but there's too much thoughtful composition to call it crazy per say. Whatever the term we use, I love the colors in this outfit the bright accents of warm red in the layered top, patent heels, and the hearts on the skirt.

The playful element comes in with the comic print skirt and there's some great texturing with the stripes in the red top, shiny vinyl Marie corset and patent heels, and the matte tights. Also, notice the scalloped edge on the sleeves of the red top. So many great details in this look.

I considered wearing black heels or flats, but those red pumps really keep the outfit going, too much of a single color and the eye tends to stop. Keep those pops of color throughout the outfit to create an overall interesting look.

I love the zipper back on this top, it makes it so much easier to put on!

Outfit 2: Sexy My first thought for this Marie Corset top was to wear a black tulle skirt, very flouncy and ruffled, but when I saw this lattice skirt, I thought the texture would work wonderfully with the vinyl of the top and I am not disappointed.

Remember when we talked about how using a single color head to toe can make the eye lose interest? Well, adding in textures like the smooth top, latticed tulle skirt, and matte strappy heels keeps things interesting. 

And, just to break up the color a bit and also because they're a timeless classic, I accessorized with pearls.

Only two outfits in and you can see how versatile a Corset top can be. Not only that, but in and of itself the Marie Corset Top is such a standout piece that it's easy to build a lot of outfits around it.

Outfit 3: Cool I decided to call this the “cool” outfit because that midi swing skirt has such a great 1950s “cool daddy-o” vibe to it, very Pink Ladies from Grease and I love it!

This skirt has been so wonderful, I have worn it weekly since I bought it. It's just the right mix of fullness and flowy. Not too puffy, not too flat and the color is bold, but it doesn't melt your eyes—by the way, that's the perfect combination.

For this outfit, I switched out the pearls for a chunky black necklace and earrings set that I've had for ages because it works so well with so many things.  This skirt came with a matching belt, but I thought that a black belt and black heels would nicely bookend this skirt.

I hope you've enjoyed today's post. Meet me right back here tomorrow for our last day of this month's FemmeLuxe week.
