My current obsession with Fashion at the moment is lace....done badly it can be very very ugly but done well it can be totally sophisticated, sexy and not at all trashy.
I don't have very many items of lace clothing but recently bought an Elly M lace overlay tulip miniskirt from Mossman at DFO Essendon. The lace is just divine in a gorgeous pattern. The lining is a sort of chartreuse/olive satin and the contrast is just delicious!
I guess the trick with lace - or any other 'texture' is not too overdo it. I saw a girl wearing lace detail shoes, a lace skirt, lace stockings with lace detail on her blouse. The only thing that didn't have lace in it was her trench coat (which was very nice and structured).
That said I fell in love with peep Toe shoes Miss Chaille (peeptoe) and miss paris (almond toe pump). I bought them both and have vowed not to overdo it. The Japanese vintage lace is so fine - yet I've had a fiddle and it seems strong - really hoping the lace doesn't tear on either of them.
I've worked out that this gorgeous Witchery structured shift dress would look gorgeous with either of the shoes - and since I already own the black I'm now off to buy the silver!
