As a little girl I adored all things lacy and feminine but growing up I lost myself in the tom girl era and well im still coming out of it. Those in the know have babbled out that lace is taken over for some while. Although this look has been already been abused locally, it still screams elegance.
‘The ultimate balance of lace and sheer fabrics is to be romantic but not over-girly; sensual but not over-suggestive’ (in the words of one true style blogger). The idea is to maintain a clean feminine look and raising eyebrows but not in a trashy way.
There are so many ways to rock lace and still remain chic. Combine it with sheer fabric to take it to another level. I love stretch lace, the way it is body hugging and very feminine, totally chic. One can also try the two color shading which we have seen enough off already.
Unless you operate from Oxford street, the nude way that bears one’s underwear is a big no no for me. If you want to stand out go for white on black skin - like I always say this is a beautiful contrast of colour. While Riri looks good in the April cover of Vogue, not everyone can get away with this look. I like how the whole dress cleverly covered her intimate bits by using a color that’s closest to her skin tone. Can you imagine my disgust at the dress she wore to the grammy’s carpet. This in comparison is likable to the eye, it doesn’t leave too much for the imagination.
Limit not the lace to the dresses. Im still yet to find a shoemaker who can do these for me. Lace covered things are also big in this season to be a fairy.
So go out and be inspired.
"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin."
