If you've been reading T&B for a while you'll be fully aware of the fact that I love love love wearing lingerie as outerwear. There's many ways to easily accomplish this look and you'll find in our "How to" tag loads of examples of how you could incorporate lingerie into your outfit, but I thought today I would showcase my favourite images of this being put into practice! Which serves much better than little product pictures too!
What's hotter than lingerie, killer heels and nothing else? Speaking literally, probably many things, but there's nothing more heart pounding than seeing the girl of your dreams strutting her stuff in the most beautiful lingerie and heels. What two more perfect things could be paired together? Lingerie is flattering and beautiful on all females (and men too!), whilst heels make your legs look supermodel long and lift your bum up to gravity defying degrees!
Clearly Booty & I have got this down already!
Also, this is a sneak peek of what's to come ;)

The corselette is the best of both a girdle and a brassiere. You can wear it without feeling like a Victorian queen when having to take off your several layers; your bra, your girdle, your knickers and waspie!You might also have heard it being called a "control slip" or "shape-wear dress". Actually, I should point out that the second picture (What Katie Did) is actually called a Merry Widow. Confused? Don't be. I have complied my top 3 desert island corselettes! Corselettes allow for beautiful design as well as functionality. Wearing one really feels like every bit of your tummy and hips are being hugged by someone very, very good looking. You can also easily attach it to your stockings, so no need for a suspender belt or girdle! All you need is knickers (if you really want) and stockings and you're all dressed up in the hottest lingerie ensemble. You might even feel tempted just to throw on a fur coat and leave the house but in case you're a bit more shy like me, here's a collection of ways to wear a corselette!

There is something so elegant about the bodysuit - maybe it's because it reminds us of our old dance classes with white tights and cute little ballet shoes! The thing about the one-piece is that not only is it stylish and sexy, it also helps to give you a streamlined effect and won't come untucked if you're wearing it underneath something, unlike other shirts! As underwear it is entirely sexy - just one item of clothing to take off and bare all! And with all over mesh and lace designs it's super sexy to see the slightly covered up sexy bits whilst also leaving your partner wanting to rip it off you! But bodysuits becoming more and more popular, there are many available which you can wear as both underwear and outerwear! It has been so hard picking just three of my favourites! As usual I will include both designer/luxury brands and high street brands!
The long line bra should be in every girls underwear drawer. It is so flattering on most shapes and adds a bit of retro to your lingerie. Especially paired with matching high-waisted knickers! But as always, not everyone wishes to keep their intimates well... intimate. So ta-da, I have come up with 3 beautiful bralet outfits to help give you an idea of how to wear yours! First of all, this in an item I have in my drawers and I love it. It's fabulous, the colour is what caught my eye and the detailing on the cups, and it's super sexy...
Okay, so I know what you're thinking: "Oh fab another person who is going to tell me to wear my suspender belt over a skirt or some amateur shit like that" - wrong! There are better ways to flaunt your delicates by far and I think I've pretty much mastered it after realising that some things are just too pretty to be kept under wraps. And since I mentioned one of these in my last post about High Street Lingerie, let me introduce to you, how to wear the slip/babydoll or variations of! First up the Navy Midi from Topshop...
