Closet-Worthy: Lace

Lace is still very in right now so I figured I would share some lace items that I am lusting over but will never have in my closet. If only I were rich, then I could buy all the pretty clothes I want ;) But sometimes I think its better to have to work hard for what you have, you appreciate it more than if you can just blow $1000 on a skirt. Well, if you EARN a lot of money its still okay because you're earning it. But if you are just given the money its not the same. [that probably made no sense at all]

What do you think of lace? Love it...or hate it!?

    I like lace, but I like it in moderation... I think I'm always worried that I'll end up looking "too girly" or something! Still, those are some beautiful pieces (I also loved what Christopher Kane did with lace, because it's not too girly at all!

    I've always loved lace - trend or no trend, I've been wearing them since the age of 5. Its a delicate balance, you have to wear lace with something rugged otherwise you look too dressed up.

    While shopping with my friend over the weekend I stated that I hate lace, then found at least 30 thing that had lace on them that I wanted to buy (but didn't because I am trying to be good!)... so I guess I love it, even though I want to hate it ;)
    These are great picks too!
