Balloon Sleeve Corset Sweater

Corset tops were popular in 2017 – not sure how the trend will fare in 2018 – but I wasn’t a big fan of the look. At least not on me. However, I found the perfect compromise in this sweater. The lace-up detail is on the bottom half of the sweater, like the corset trend, but it’s not a separate piece or material and this balloon sleeved sweater is loose fitting so the laces aren’t tight.

The loose fitting style of this sweater is perfect for me and just my style. It’s the only kind of iteration of the corset style trend that I can see myself wearing.

I’m actually wearing head to toe Express for this look. I paired the sweater with my fleece fold-over leggings (which made it in to my December favorites because they are ridiculously soft and comfortable), and my sparkly broken heart flats.

This sweater is a great reminder that you can always find a version of a trend that fits your style and taste.

Here’s to a year of stylish and comfy clothes with a little bit of sparkle and hopefully no broken hearts!
