Trust, me, You Need to Get on that Lace Dress Trend

Hi, my name is Conni and I'm a lace lover.  Oh, you read me right gals, lover of lace, lace dresses, tops, detailing, you get the idea.  I've always found that lace has a certain romantic etherealness to it.  There's a loooong story (email me, I'll tell ya over coffee & G Chat) about how I tried to chase down the perfect guipure lace for my wedding dress only to discover that there is a reason couture dresses cost as much as they do.  It's entirely impossible, unless you have a designer's moniker, to nail down that lace.   But that doesn't mean there aren't some very viable lace dress alternatives out there!

3 Tips for Wearing a Lace Dress with Confidence

1 || Pair with a great colorful shoe || oh fun behold!  I love to go all out in color when it comes to the added accessory here.  Often a lace dress has such beautiful texture that a bold pop of color in the shoe is a perfect balance to the delicateness.  I would highly recommend you having no fear when it comes to pairing a bold heel with lace.  However, should you want to play it safe, a fabulous black heel will do wonders as well.

2 || Find a lace dress that is a great length || when it comes to wearing a new dress, women tend to feel the most reserve about showing too much arm and thigh.  In that situation, look for a dress that has great coverage around the arms (read, cute but longer sleeve length) and a great cut at or just above the knee.  What I love about this blue lace dress is that not only is it 30-something appropriate but it would also look adorable on a 20-something and a 40 or 50-something too!  Would I love to see this on my mom and my sister, yes and yes.  Finally, a cute lace dress for all the ladies out there.

3 || Layer with a fabulous jacket to keep that oh-so-cool vibe || leather moto jacket? check. simple blazer? can do.  a cropped bolero?  also a great option.  There are a number of ways to layer a piece over this blue lace dress so that you feel super comfortable temperature wise if you choose to wear it in the evening.
