Topshop Suede Cropped Jacket / ASOS Revive Bustier & ASOS Maxi Skirt c/o Ladbrokes * / Bracher Emden ‘Geo’ Clutch * / AllSaints Necklace / Topshop Chain Strap Wedges

A few weeks ago Ladbrokes got in touch asking me to take part in a blogger challenge to celebrate the Oscars and their new Diamond Slot game, the idea being to create an outfit from ASOS that you’d wear to The Oscars. I have to admit that at first I found this kind of strange, but I soon started daydreaming & wondering what would I wear if in some kind of alternate reality I actually were attending, so I accepted. I also thought it would be a perfect excuse to do a more evening kind of outfit, especially as you guys mostly only ever see what I wear casually, though arguably this isn’t much different!

I’m sure most of you guessed that I wouldn’t choose some huge couture-style gown & would have to dress it down a little. The fact is I just don’t do that kind of over the top glitz & glamour, I feel much more comfortable in something simpler, something I can rough up. Messy hair, smudgy eyes & clunky shoes are how I feel most me.

I decided to go with separates, as surprisingly there were hardly any suitable black dresses available. The bustier is my favourite part, even though I don’t usually like these corset style tops. The quilted texture & the deep cut out somehow manage to make it feel much fresher than the cliche kind you usually see & yeah, it makes you feel a little like Wonder Woman too, which is always a bonus! I’ve been wanting this maxi skirt for a while, so now seemed the perfect reason to finally get it, I just love the curved split & folding at the waist.

I had to throw a jacket on as well to stop me from getting too many stares wandering around our local park all dressed up & wearing so little in the freezing weather and I love that if I simply switched the bustier for a tee this is something I’d definitely wear casually too.

    Wow, this is such a bold choice! You really can pull off anything – you look so glamorous. I would never dare to bare in the bustier or the thigh-high split skirt (self-confessed prude over here!), but you do it so well xx

    Um that skirt and bustier are so sexy! I love your take on what you’d wear to the Oscars without losing who you are or your style. I think its so important no matter where you are going to have your own style still intact. Plus that skirt is killer…i would love to see how you’d wear it dress down.
