Basking in the dog days of summer for KC Homes & Style in a printed corset and affordable denim.

My summer vibe of late has been cool neutrals with a fun twist. Last round it was neutrals with a pop of bright blue, but today I’m all about a printed jacquard corset to jazz up a simple look. This corset features light boning, a zippered back (easier entry, for sure!), and a Western-vibey horse print. Yes, I said horse print. When I saw this, I knew it had to be mine.
It’s a lot of shoulder and clavicle, which looks great with a (faux) tan. I wanted to strike a little balance, so I chose a wide-leg jean. (These are from Target, come in a ton of colors, and are an absolute steal! I’d recommend sizing down one size because they have plenty of stretch.) I absolutely love this high-waisted fit, with the hem ending perfectly to pair with a cute braided kitten heel.
This entire look is featured in The Closet column of the July/August issue of Kansas City Homes & Style, which is on stands now here in the KC metro area and available online here.
Shop the look:
How do we feel about corsets? They were huge a few summers ago, but I’m not sure I see them as much now. (Which actually suits me just fine; I don’t need to dress super trendy all the time.) They amp up a look and I like that– there’s just more oomph to this outfit, for example, than if I styled it with a simple tank or tube top. The jacquard fabric (is it for a couch or a top? Both!) and the print help that effort, for sure.
Hope you’re having a great summer!

A little shoulder in the summer is exactly my vibe! Thanks, Mireille!
Ashley, I have to admit when I saw the title of this post in the email, I was thinking horsehair…you know the kind that’s used as structure for garments. But, then I realized you meant the print…hahaha!!! I love how you paired this slim top with those gorgeous wide leg jeans! You look absolutely fabulous! And, you have got great clavicles!

Horse hair, haha! And I’m so glad you like the look! You’re so sweet. Have a great weekend ahead!
You look incredible in this look! One of my favorites on you. The corset is fits you like a glove and I adore the wide leg jeans with it. I thought they were pants!

The wide-leg jeans are so soft, too- they almost feel like pants! Thanks so much, Kathrine!
This is fabulous! I love the unique print and western vibe. It’s so flattering on you too!

Isn’t it fun? When I saw the horse print I was like, “THIS MUST BE MINE!” Haha. Thanks, Jill!
Gorg as always! Loving this print and the summer glow <3
Thank you so much, babe!
Unique and stunning! You look amazing!
Thank you so much!
That’s really cute. I used to have a top like that. Don’t think I could pull it off nowadays….
I definitely have to be careful where I wear this- like to the office, haha. Would definitely be good with a blazer or a lightweight cardigan thrown over the top!
Thank you for swinging by, Lydia!

It’s super unique, right? I had to have it! Thanks, Allie!
This outfit is amazing on you! Unique and classy. I have to send this top to my horse loving daughter. I am loving the simple gold chain with the outfit, keeping is classy. Those trousers look great also and I would never have guessed Target.

I love the wide legs with the more fitted corset- a nice balance! Thank you, Julia!
What a chic and unique summer look! The printed jacquard corset with a Western horse print sounds both eye-catching and stylish. I love how you paired it with high-waisted wide-leg jeans to create a balanced silhouette. The addition of a braided kitten heel is the perfect finishing touch.

Neutral looks good on you. I like the wide leg pants because they’re so comfy, especially during hot days.
You look fabulous. The print on the top is so on point.
