Not Just for the Boudoir

I've been noticing this for a bit, but I still haven't mustered up enough courage to give this trend a shot: bralettes as a top.

Just to give you an idea, here are a few of my picks from (all from freepeople.com):

4.  http://www.freepeople.com/intimately-bras/rose-burnout-velvet-bralette/

This may seem a bit risque at first, but it's a lot more wearable than you think!  If you're like me, and you don't want to wear it bare, the styling options are still pretty limitless!  Here's what I envision:

• Wear one of the above lovlies with a pair of high-waisted, wide-leg jeans, and throw a blazer on top (keep it unbuttoned if you're feeling bold!)
• Again sticking with something high-waisted, wear a bralette with a pencil skirt, add a pair of lacey tights, and the sexiest pair of pumps you own.
• Wear a bralette as a bra, but put a sheer or backless top on.  Think of it as a teaser :)

I definitely need to get my hands on one of these!  Maybe I can hint at it for a V-Day gift ;)
