lacey staple

7.27.2010





Lace dress from Threadsence. Logo Instant Chic vest. Vintage suede vest. Giuseppe Zanotti wedges

Say hi to my favorite summer dress, complete with the perfect shade of nude, amount of exposed skin (including a deep u-neck back reminiscent of American Apparel), and not-too-obvious lacey material. So I've pretty much been living in this dress and pairing it with clothing scattered across my bedroom and in the backseat of my car in an attempt to make it less obvious that I already wore it the day before.

Also something duly noted tonight while searching high and low for potential shoes on eBay, I have a thing for clunky wedges and ankle boots. Searched all night to no avail. I'm in a shoe rut.

I love that the edges of the dress are frayed slightly. It adds character and makes it a little more kick-ass :)

Loved the dress. So many layers and they work so well together.

I am a little baffled, your site was created to show your knowledge of working with clothing and your body creating a harmonious pairing. This meaning accentuating your GOOD assets. Why would you wear such a short dress with legs so thick, AND pairing it with clunky heels.

Things that makes you go "hmmm...."

Wonderful!

OMG! I LOVE this outfit so much! Love the lace dress. The subtleness of the lace dress in it makes it very fresh. The skillful color coordination and layering makes it a perfect outfit!
