Corset Obsessions and the 1980's

It's not a wierd as it sounds. I've been watching Ashes to Ashes on the BBC and there is a shot in the titles of Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes) in the most fanstastic red leather belt / corset. It's right at the end of the sequence (about 50 seconds in) and shows a fab 80's grey dress and this beautiful red corset thang.




I was so corset obsessed that I wore a waspie to go into the city shopping with the pickle this morning. I looked stunning, even if I do say so myself. Long victorian boots, back and white print long a-line skirt corset over a gauze top and lashings of dark smudgy make up. My daughter wasn't impressed but I felt great!

I find myself doing this more and more. Some days I just have to get dressed up. For no other reason than I haven't worn lipstick for a few days. I think my husband appreciates it, so it's not a complete waste of slap.
