Happy new year! Mr. Kitty and I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. I’m so glad to be back in the land of bloggers! 
I just recently found this lace skirt at Forever 21. It’s completely see-through and lining-free, which is normally a bad thing, but as soon as I saw it I had plans for it. I knew it would be a great way to stay cool at a roasting hot nightclub without feeling too undressed. I wore opaque tights underneath, plus a short pair of pettipants for added modesty. It turned out to be a fun outfit for dancing!
I paired the skirt with my lace cami from Newport News, over which I usually wear a shrug but Mr. Kitty often expresses that he likes how I look in spaghetti straps, so this one was for him.I made these sleeves myself from some very lightweight swim lining. I just made them double the needed length so they would bunch up nicely, creating the look of ruching.
The brocade corset is from Gallery Serpentine. I’ve worn this several times on my blog. It’s my oldest and most comfortable underbust corset.
Yep, I wore my glasses with this outfit. I don’t often wear glasses to clubs, but these are growing on me. Plus it was a Thursday night, and I was too rushed after work to fuss with the contacts. I don’t get home from work until 6:15, and we have to eat dinner, get ready, and be out the door by 9:00 if we are going to make the early-bird entry cutoff by 10:30. We like to get there as early as possible anyway, since our long drive home usually prevents us from staying till 2 AM.
Love it. Your "risque" outfits are always gorgeous, perfect and very classy.Good old Gallery corset, forever faithful! :3
This is gorgeous. I almost bought that skirt myself but couldn't for the life of me figure out what to pair it with. You did it beautifully!
Lovely skirt! You did a perfect outfit with it. it has been very nice to read your posts and seeing your beautiful style through this year. I'm looking forward to next. Happy new year!
Happy New Year!This skirt is beautiful! You did a great job in combining all these pieces to a great outfit!
Love that skirt! I'll have to look for one.
I considered the same lace skirt at Forever 21 last week. I love what you did with it- probably the bet thing imaginable for it. Gorgeous!Swim lining for arm warmers? What a unique idea.
I absolutely adore this skirt
I want that skirt [can it even still be called a skirt without a lining or anything else?], I could do a number of things with it as well, methinks. I love your tights-shorts pairing with it though, it's as you say, good for a club without being under dressed.I'm going to have to discover the magic of swimsuit fabric. Although I'm not big on arm warmers, I bet just having it will spring something up, hopefully.
I actually saw that skirt and got all excited, then was quite disappointed when I saw it wasn't lined. I just couldn't picture how I could wear it without looking silly-and there you go, using such an item in an incredibly classy and elegant way! I have mad envy of your skills, and your arm warmers are great.
I keep seeing this on the UK site and I just can't decide! It looks lovely on you : ) x
This outfit looks fantastic on you!
Gorgeous!!! Welcome back sweet cheeks! I missed you … HAPPY, HAPPY New year!!! ((((HUGS))))
Hey, Happy New Year and welcome back! ^^I love what you've done to the skirt! Actually, it's a really sexy outfit, but with your "trick" it's still very classy and somewhat romantic.
Kitty, thank you!
Yes, GS corsets really are the best I've found so far!Luna, thanks! Hopefully I can figure out some other ways to make this skirt work, too.linnea-maria, thank you for your kind words. Happy new year to you!Sal, happy new year! 
And thank you – I'm glad you like how this outfit turned out.bethezdaspreocupations, thanks! I think the skirt is still available through Forever 21.Unlacing, you should go for it if they still have it. If nothing else, you could just put a long half-slip under it!Natasha, I say go for it! ;-DKatelynn, thanks! It's a fun skirt for dancing.Sir Isaak, I'm not sure what it should be called. 
Swimsuit fabric is fun because it's slightly shiny (and cat hair resistant), stretchy and lightweight. Very versatile, but also slightly see-through so that limits the options somewhat…Jamie, you are too sweet. 
I think just about anything can be classy in the right combination. It's fun to try and figure out a challenge like this skirt!CatacombKitten, thank you!!Le Professeur, aww! You made my day. 
Lynoire, thanks! That's pretty much exactly what I was going for. I'm glad you like it!
Such a perfectly goth skirt!
