Laces....

For some reaons, I seem to be addicted to blogging these days. I think it must the fashion post I put up some days back, but whatever it is, I am glad it got me all up and typing now.

Come to think of it, I do not think anyone here on campus cares about dressing up as much as Michelle and I do. Sometimes we are being passed off as being high maintenance, and snobbish. However what did they always say? Never judge, because one never know what is going on.

The picture of my vintage dress is coming soon, so keep a close look for it.

Lace! Yes lace!!! Laces are popular, almost as early as the Victorian ages. Women wear them all the time, on their dress, shoes, hats, and around them little umbrella (and god knows what those little things are good for when they barely shelter anything at all)

Most people think that laces are make such a vintage fashion statement and it would be tricky to dabble with it without ending up looking like you have just walked out 50s soap opera. I would not disagree, it is tricky, and however it is also very feminine to wear laces. Now ladies, do not start piling on them, hold your horses now.

Here are some ideas where you can use.

Laces and demin always go well together. Lining the trim of a demin skirt give it an instant facelift, and gives it a little more of a feminine detail to it. It is not only the trimming of the skirt, even the slit too, if it is too high up the back and for modesty, you could part of it with lace.

For example, a full lace vintage top, when pair of with a well cut pair of jeans and pointy head makes a girl look chic.

Do you like the layering affect of clothing? Do you need to wear a camisole underneath your shirt because it is too short? Well get short camisole with lace lining around it. It gives your overall feminine touch to it and adds a little touch of that vintage look.

Do not get a LONG tunic camisole, you know the ones that goes all the way down and below your butt, long is good, but not in this case, because it makes you as if you have an elongated body. GROSS!!! Please don’t get lace camisole/ tunics that are made of 50% spandex, not only does it look hideous, the quality of the fabric is terrible.

While laces are good, do not get a black lace dress layered over a light beige fabric of any kind, because it makes u look naked. Do not laugh and asked “who does that?!” Well apparently a lot of people do. I remember seeing a lady shaving her legs in a public restroom, and if that was not hideous enough, she was wearing a black lace dress layered over a light beige fabric of some sort. For a moment I thought she was naked. Black lace skirts are good, and they are very trendy, they are a must have, because it is almost similar to a LBD (Little Black Dress) you can pull it out for church or for dances.
Never attempt to wear a full lace camisole or top (if modesty is not an issue for you), because lets face it, although it is feminine, it does makes you itch.

So this is my little thought for the day…

Do tell me what you think and perhaps we can all help each other solve our little fashion hang ups.
