Cubicle to Cocktails: A Corset, Of Course

Suck it all in, ladies! It's corset time!

No, no, I'm not expecting you to corset yourself like Megan Fox in "Jonah Hex" (btw - in the movie, her waist is corseted to 18" !!!). But, corsets or bustiers, are super flattering to many a woman. Just make sure you can walk, talk, eat, sit and breathe comfortably. Just take a look at the gorgeous Justine, from Fetching Fashions, sporting her gorg corset top!

Today's Cubicle to Cocktails showcases a top styled after the medieval nightmare. However, this lovely French Connection corset top features such a fun print for summer and looks fairly comfortable. Toss on a white jacket and some classic work pants and you're good to hit the office. As for cocktail time, keep the top the same and toss on my current clothing crush, the Joe's "Sammy" cuffed shorts (shown below, too) and some fun nude wedges.

So, friends, what do we think or corset tops?

Not your cup or tea or cinch me up, Coley?!

Cubicle to Cocktails - Wide Leg Trouser Edition

Hello all!

Today's edition of Cubicle to Cocktails features wide leg trousers and reptile print pumps. I'm a fan of wide leg trousers, but I also understand that they don't look great on everyone. That being said, you can work with the width and cut to make it work for you. I'm vertically challenged, so I make sure that my pants are a bit more fitted in the hip and thigh so I don't look like I'm trying to wear big boy pants.

If you're on the tall side, you can be a bit more liberal with your width, as your height will save ya. As for you curvier girls, wide leg trousers can look super on you too, just make sure they fit well in the waist and hip, you want to show some shape so your curves aren't drowning in the pants.

So, here we are - what do you think? I'm also seeing a ton of corsets coming out and I think they look amazing under jackets or belted with wide leg pants - it's a nice juxtaposition.
