   Kim Kardashian steps out in two-piece that emphasizes her insane figure

There’s no denying that Kim Kardashian’s fashion style has changed considerably in recent months, just like there’s no denying that it was current husband Kanye West that most influenced it. Since she became Mrs. Kim Kardashian West last month, Kim’s style has changed even more.

These days, she favors black and whites, and rarely steps out in actual colors. She once said that an all-black outfit was the ultimate example of elegance, and she clearly believes (just like Kanye) that the same applies for whites. At most, she will wear a nude color but, other than that, it seems like Kim’s entire wardrobe is monochrome.

The other day, Kim stepped out for lunch with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe wearing a two-piece outfit that was meant to put her famous hourglass figure on full display. This is another change noticeable as of late about the way she dresses: she is very partial to high-waist body-hugging skirts and cropped tops.

However, this particular outfit took the term “cropped top” to a whole new level… of ridiculousness. As you can see in the photos included in the gallery below, from the front, the outfit was actually pretty spectacular, because the cut of the top emphasized her tiny waist, while the tight skirt did the same for her famous curves. Well, the tight skirt and Spanx.

The colors also worked well with Kim’s post-honeymoon tan. She and Kanye first went to Ireland for a short honeymoon but then, deciding it wasn’t enough, they went away for a few days to a resort in Mexico, where she worked on her tan by the pool every single day – and made sure to call the paparazzi to document it.

Back to the outfit, though: from the back, it was a complete mess. Not only can you see the Spanx from under the skirt, but the fact that the top was cut so high you could see the entire back part of her lace bra was absolutely ridiculous.

As well put together as the outfit seemed from the front, from the back, it looked as if Kim had dressed in the dark. With no mirrors around. And no one to tell her not to go out like this.

Kim clearly wants to be taken seriously as a fashion icon / trendsetter and, to her millions of fans, she is just that, in the sense that they would buy and wear whatever clothes she has on or makes or endorses.

However, if she wants to be taken seriously seriously by the industry, she needs to do better than that: it’s never a good idea to go out with your underwear on full display, let alone like this. This outfit would have looked great and have had the same effect of emphasizing her insane figure with a full back on that top.
