[…] Lace Loving (67) […]
This is my first time linking up to Marion’s Trend of the Month Challenge and I couldn’t be more excited about this month’s challenge: lace. I have quite a few lace pieces, mostly neutral ones, so I wanted to challenge myself to wear a lace piece I haven’t in awhile AND in a new way. I just transformed my denim dress into a shirt a few weeks ago, so I decided to transform this lace dress into a shirt as well. Of course, completely work INAPPROPRIATE as a dress. Add my favorite maxi and it was completely work appropriate. Hooray! My biggest challenge in shopping lately is buying items that I can wear both to work AND on the weekends. I didn’t buy this dress with the intention of both, but I guess I found out it has more uses!

I really like this and this color looks great on you! I’m so mad, I thought the trend for today was a pop of orange, I swear she said that last week, hence my outfit today. I’m wearing lace tomorrow, so I’m so annoyed I didn’t figure out I was wrong until I posted today. Oh well, there’s always next time.

Super cute necklace! Perfect for spring. 🙂
This is adorable. I love the spring colors and yet it still works for the snow!

It looks so great when you´re wearing long skirts – unfortunately I´m to short for this 😉

Oh that necklace is lovely, as is the maxi! It’s always fun to wear items in a completely different manner from how they’re expected to be worn off the hanger.

Love everything about this look! That necklace is perfect and I’ve been looking for one just like it. I also love everything in Lauren Conrad’s Kohl’s collection, but I haven’t seen that maxi skirt yet. I’ll definitely keep my eyes peeled for it soon though 🙂

Heather, thanks for your comment! I actually got this maxi skirt on sale at the end of 2011! It must have been from the fall 2011 line or something because I bought it in December! Hopefully there will be some other cute items coming out in her line this spring though… including pleated maxis!
This outfit is lovely, the detail at the back of your lace “top” is beautiful 🙂
super cute outfit!

Gorgeous pairing, Rachel! I love the idea of lace and a long skirt for the beginning of spring 😀
Gorgeous! So well done. Love the maxi with the tough boots- really juxtaposes against the delicate lace.
Happy Thursday!

This outfit is gorgeous, Rachel! I think it is by far my favorite outfit I’ve seen on you 🙂 So pretty and feminine, and the colors are beautiful 🙂
Awww thanks Kimmie! You are so sweet! I do love this outfit, one of my favorites for sure 🙂
Loving this fun skirt and matching necklace! These look great on you. And how convenient that there is a beautiful snowy background to compliment your outfit! Thanks for sharing! Xo, M&K at brewedtogether.com
I love this look, Rachel! I try to buy things that can be worn on weekends and to work too…and it definitely can be challenging! Love how you made this dress work both ways – you have me wondering what work inappropriate things I can pull out of my closet and make them work…for work!

This outfit is beautiful. So pretty and feminine, but I love how it’s grounded by the booties.
Such a beautiful outfit! I adore the sheer sleeves on your lace top/dress, and that statement necklace is swoon worthy!
You look great! I also try find ways to style my work clothes in a more casual way. I no longer have an office job, so its a very useful skill for me to learn. I love the maxi skirt with your lace dress!
Love the dress as a top with such a stunning necklace!
A beautiful look.
Oh my goodness, so sorry I never responded to your comment! Yes, it is nice to have because I think some people just prefer to comment via Facebook on all websites!
