A Whole Lotta Lace

A Whole Lotta Lace

This Spring 2014 brings a whole lot of  fun lace dresses and tops.  I was never really attracted to lace much before, but I felt naturally drawn to it for this coming season.  I bought a pretty little Carolina Herrera navy 50s style cocktail dress at a local consignment store and can’t wait to show it off.  I always considered the trickiest thing about lace is telling good lace apart from bad.  Lace should never resemble cheese cloth (and unfortunately a lot of lace pieces found in department stores do).  I personally like hefty, heavy lace.  It looks more youthful and when presented in a bright color it looks fantastic.  Dolce & Gabbana along with Valentino have come up with beautiful bright dresses.  Some can be upwards of $3,000 but you don’t have to break the bank when shopping for a lace dress.  Try hunting for one at consignment stores and opt for a simple style like a sheath dress (as depicted in the photo) to show off the beauty of the lace itself.  You cannot go wrong with bright pinks, greens, and oranges.
