OOTD: Velvet Gold

Black Mesh PU Bodysuit - American Apparel http://store.americanapparel.net/
Crushed Gold Velvet Pencil Skirt - TopShop http://www.topshop.com
Spiked Gold Hairband - Topshop

I've been waiting to blog about this skirt & bodysuit for aaages, after-all, I bought it from TopShop in a spring sale earlier this year and the bodysuit may have been from 2012 but was a really popular piece in American Apparels extensive bodysuit collection. Not sure if both these work together but oh well!

I really love mesh paneling and this PU mesh body suit is no exception, it's pretty risqué so I usually put it with bootcut jeans to let the body suit do take centre piece. not sure if it goes with the skirt or not - maybe strictly for evening outwear!

I have tried multiple times to wear velvet blouses and dresses but find it really tricky to wear without feeling abit pantomime..not sure why I feel like that, not sure I've ever worn a velvet costume in the past! I find velvet really difficult to style but with this skirt, I feel like I can sort of pull off the velvet look without feeling like I've walked out of a theatre costume cupboard.

Love, Sarah x
