Lace

Original Post: 1, 2.

Everyone has specific things that they're drawn to in clothes. There are some things that I'm extremely aware of that I like (i.e. open and/or interesting backs), but others take me by surprise. Lace is one thing that falls into this category. I've never really thought of myself as a lace person, but there's just something about a lace dress that I love. (I apparently also love red dresses.)

These dresses are two prime examples of how lace works itself into my wardrobe. The dress on the right is one of my most worn pieces of clothing and, once I get the one on the left altered, I don't know that I'll ever want to take it off.

Just today, I tried on a lace dress (I made myself try a different color). I didn't end up buying it, but I was instantly drawn. It seems these days I'm always finding myself lusting after lace dresses! I almost bought one a couple weeks ago from Forever 21 too, but I ended up deciding against it. Shoot, even last night I thought about ordering one, but I hadn't heard of the website before and it had some bad reviews...

So I am finally admitting it to myself, and to the world: I love lace dresses. They look good on me, and I feel so classy when I wear them, and they're just so pretty! 

Do you have find yourself surprised by certain styles of clothing that you're drawn too?

I did end up buying a chambray shirt with a lace back today.
