A Little Lace

Lace





After my post last week on lace (you can see it here), I couldn't stop thinking about how pretty the fabric was. I decided to build a couple of outfits around the intricately designed material. I picked two pair of shorts (one with lace trim and one full-on lace) and decided to do a day and evening look.

When putting these together, I actually thought I would like the day look best. It's casual, stylish, and comfortable all at the same time. I love to be comfortable. However, as I might have mentioned before, I love a good heel. With that said, I would have to say that the first look is my favorite. I love the look of a classic button-up shirt paired with feminine shorts. I also love the bright color of the blouse and the equally bright pump. The spiked ring adds a bit of edge to the outfit, which I love.

Which look would you pick?

Have you ever wanted to try a different hair style but were afraid of the commitment? Check out this Virtual Hair Makeover! You basically upload a picture of your face and then 'try on' different hair styles. It isn't perfect but it can give you an idea of what a hair color or hair style would look like on you. If nothing else, it's fun!

Leather Pants: 3 Ways to Wear Them

Leather Pants: 3 Ways to Wear Them

Here are just a few examples on how I like to style leather pants. I really like the boot in the first look. Mixing brown boots and accessories with black leather adds a 'cool' vibe to the ensemble. I also love the little bull ring. It gives this look a modern, cowgirl-esque vibe. (At least, that is what I would wear if I were a horse wrangler on a ranch). Since I don't work on a ranch (thank goodness because I am terrified of horses), I will just stick to wearing this around town.

I did a post on loafers not too long ago. You can read it here. I still have not ordered mine, but when I do, I will be wearing them with a chambray shirt for sure! I also like how the cross-body bag keeps the entire look casual.

With most looks, I like to throw in something a little unexpected. These little stud earrings by Marc Jacobs add the perfect hint of unexpected to the third look. A wedge boot makes the outfit casual enough to wear during the day. Try swapping them for a pair of heels and add dramatic earrings to transition this look into evening attire.

I think the first look is my favorite. Which is yours?
