Feeling Hella Good in Playful Promises!

Tuesday, 20 August 2013

Last week I blogged about Playful Promises, an awesome British lingerie and swimwear brand. The PP team kindly sent me my favourite piece from their AW13 collection which I couldn't wait to style as outerwear!

Playful Promises Hella Body

I'm a huge fan of this trend and when done properly it can look awesome (and not even a little skanky). The weather is getting warmer again so no need for a cover up but if you aren't brave enough to wear it like this, you could always throw on a leather jacket or a kimono.

Underwear as outerwear trend.Body: c/o Playful promises - Maxi skirt: La Redoute - Boots and belt: New Look - Necklace: Accessorize

I decided to pair the hella block body (£35) with my favourite black maxi skirt from La Redoute. This is such an easy outfit and the body gives a great silhouette. I'm now on the hunt for some black high waisted jeans because I think that would also work really well. 

La Redoute Lace Maxi Skirt

I've found that mixing different textures can create an interesting look, even if it's all one colour. My bodysuit is really silky and soft, the panels are also positioned perfectly so just the right amount of mesh is on show. Me likey.

Would you wear underwear as outerwear? Do you own any Playful Promises?

    That looks so good. I love this skirt you paired it with. Is the top completely mesh or is there a built in bra?

    Would look amazing with some high waisted jeans!

      It features some block panels so it's really flattering! I wore a stick on bra with it. :) YES! That's how I want to style it next. <3

    All black everything! ;) I do often have my bra on show under a sheer tee & have worn one of those long length retro looking bras as a top before too, I think it's a good look when done properly & I think the key is confidence too, if you own it (like you are here!) no-one will look twice! Love that skirt too, so pretty.
