I kind of like this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Maybe it’s just because I have suits<\/a> on my mind. It’s a suit in a way, isn’t it? It’s available for 81 pounds, down from 162 pounds, on my-wardrobe.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After all my suit talk, I decided to wear one of my old ones to a semi-serious event I had last night. It has a corset-style jacket and a pencil skirt that is so tight I was scandalized that I ever wore it to work. I felt good until the post-event photo shoot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This picture is demoralizing.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I clearly need a new photographer. My husband seems to have a special talent for cutting off the top of my head while including random wall vents. And after seeing the photo, I felt a lot dowdier than I did during the evening. I think I’ll take up the skirt very slightly and then wear the pieces separately. When you can see all the details, the jacket is quite spectacular. I swear!<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: I knew that the Biba outfit spoke to me for a reason. Check out the matching dress\/leggings outfit in ’80s singer Stacey Q’s Two of Hearts video (it first appears about 50 seconds in). Awesome sunglasses and earrings too.<\/p>\n
