I had these photos archived for a while because I wanted to experiment with some holiday party looks. Not that I should be thinking about parties since I still have 2 papers to write but I just can't help it!
How beautiful is this lace dress? I have been falling head-over-heels with lace since I purchased my lace shorts as seen HERE and HERE. The ultimate balance of lace is to be romantic but not over-girly; sensual but not over-suggestive. Lace isn't an added detail of a garment, it is the garment.
Lace, often times, can be associated with matrimonial attires so to get away from that reach for dresses with streamlined silhouettes and above-the-knee hemlines. These days, lace can be classy, super versatile and a basic piece of garment that's good enough for every day wear. And best of all: it's totally up to you on how you style it!
Try pairing lace with unexpected accents such as: leopard prints, red accessories, or statement jewelries to give it a more modern look. Here I chose a black dress with minimal underpinnings to modernize the virginal aspect of the look and added leopard pumps to give it an edgy twist. This elegant material can be mixed and matched with anything you can possibly think of to create a unique and fashionable look. Whichever way you go, you can be sure that all eyes will be on you at the next Holiday party...and you can thank your beautiful lace dress for this =)

I love lace. It's seriously just the best. There's something about it being paired with jeans or cute shorts or a fancy skirt. Lace just works! It's romantic, girly, but not too girly. Lace can also be masculine which is what I love. :)
ReplyDeletepulled of the dress well! and love the leopard heels!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is so pretty! I love the leopard print shoes with it! Great combination!

Your dress is beautiful, you look so elegant. I like how you've styled your hair as well.
ReplyDeleteyou know what I really love about this lace dress, Thu? It's that it's totally unexpected. What I mean is that usually lace dresses these days are made to fit tighter with the neckline a bit lower than daily wear. But this one is actually really cute-- like a dress you could even dress down for casual wear!

Thu, that dress is breathtaking! I've always thought you can never go wrong with lace. It's both subtle and sexy and just makes a woman look classy. You pull off this look beautifully and I love how you've matched it with the animal print shoes. Edgy! I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteYou really have an eye for this type of thing! You combined everything so nicely! It looks great!
