TREND SPY: Lace Me Long Time















So excited.  Grandma's curtains are making a come back ya'll!  Yes- LACE IS BACK- like a vendetta! For those of you who can't fade it, (I know if done incorrectly, lace can look a bit...matronly?)  Don't be so literal when you follow trends. SUBSTITUTE!  There are other alternatives to wearing lace.  Opt instead for chiffon, organza or a really cool burn out (yes it's a FABRIC- ask a seamstress) or even tulle if your adventurous, to keep that sexy peek-a-boo factor high on the richter!  Be rebellious.  Work it with a rough fabric, boyfriend jeans, a biker jacket.  If the bottoms are lace, pair it with heavy knits (oversized cardigans, a chunky cowl neck scarf) and something with chains (necklace, bangles, bag)  


Here's some inspiration:








OUTFIT SUGGESTIONS: THINK CONTRAST!




Boyfriend/slouchy jeans or bermudas (unstructured)
Lace top with ribbon detail (feminine/dainty)
Dr.Martens/Combat Boots (Rugged, More Masculine)
chunky knit sweater or scarf to add volume or more texture
