Lingerie as Outerwear: From the Boudoir to Work

Hello Everyone! I’m Maggie and I will be joining the wonderful folks of Bella Bella Boutique to bring you a new look each Thursday. I will be exploring all the ways that lingerie can be tastefully incorporated into a fashionable outfit: Lingerie as Outerwear!

Today’s outfit was inspired by the unpredictable temperatures of Fall. I decided to create something that could go from day to night and still keep you comfortable if the temperatures dipped or flared. I love how the crisp, clean lines of the blazer and pants play off of the rounded textures of the heels and playsuit. This outfit could certainly bridge the gap between work and evening amusements with style to spare.

1. Beautiful Bottoms Phoebe Silk Playsuit is a luxurious 100% silk romper that has an old world lingerie appeal with its dark, charcoal grey silk overlaying the nude tone base. The fluid lines and drape of the playsuit soften the dramatic lines of the pantsuit and create a powerful feminine mystique.

2. BigBisou Renaissance Bracelet in Antique Brass features an elegantly delicate vine that winds its way around your wrist with crisply defined leaves.

3. The BCBG Boyd Tweed Jacket in Dark Heathered Grey with black contrasting accents is a structured blazer that showcases your curves with a form-fitting cut and slight military feel with the deep V front and single button closure.

4. Caron’s Narcisse Noir is a classic Caron scent with accents of Orange Flower and Musk that comes in a stunning bottle with a delicate black glass flower lid. The nostalgic fragrance will partner perfectly with the vintage boudoir feel of the Phoebe Silk Playsuit.

5. Roxcraft Vintage Pre-War Italian Copper Honey Bee Coin Pendant Necklace has a wonderful minimalist charm. With the open neck of both the playsuit and the blazer, this little honeybee will be perfectly framed and on show.

6. Michael Kors’ Josie Peep-Toe Pump is an elegant heel with a gently rounded toe that will echo the softer lines of the playsuit.

7. GwenDelicious Bronze Skeleton Key Bypass Ring is an unusual ring that is sure to generate plenty of conversation and compliments. The solid bronze key will wrap your finger in style and mystery.

8. The BCBG Ted Slim Twill Trouser in Dark Heathered Grey is a classic slim leg trouser with a single leg pleat that isn’t fussy or over styled. The long lines of the slim cut leg keep the figure in focus and extend your silhouette in partnership with those gorgeous heels.
