After my much needed hiatus, I have figured out my Summer plans. I will be moving to New York City next Saturday to work for Ok! magazine’s fashion department! Super super excited! Anywhoo… BIG trend alert!!! Lace! My feelings about lace have always waxed and waned. On one hand I love the intricate details and how feminine lace is, however on the other hand you can end up looking like your grandma’s table cloth, or curtains, or doilies etc. I think it all depends on how the lace is styled, the quality of the lace, the color and quantity. I love the use of lace on wedding dresses but I cannot stand those A-line, off white, neckline to hem lace drenched gowns. There are ways to do lace right and ways to do it to suit your personality.
Pins and Needles. This dress has minimal lace detail, so if you're not big on lace but just want a splash, this is the way to go.
BB Dakota Sammy dress. However, if you're the exact opposite and you love lace, this is a very classic version.
Kimchi and Blue. This shirt is also a subtle way to embrace the lace trend, and it almost cross-styles into the cut out trend!
Silence and Noise. I love this tank! I love the tiers and the lightness of the lace and I love how they offset the delicate material with a hard zipper.
Kimchi and Blue. If you're not ready to go all out with the lace you can opt for peeks of lace intimates.
Kimchi and Blue. Or if you want more of a casual, day time, Rebecca of Sunnybrook farms look this simple design is a great way to do lace.
Thistlepearl. This is more of a going-out, party look with the see through coloring and the sweetheart neckline and still very feminine.
Kimchi and Blue. If you do happen to have a big fear of lace you can try pieces with just a touch, like this extremely casual pullover with a lace inset.
Silence and Noise. First of all, I don't know who would wear this see-through body suit, but I love the color of the lace.
BDG. Lastly, you could do lace on the bottom half with leggings.
