Lace is one of the loveliest and most delicate of fabrics. That's why I included a lace top in each of these outfits. And also wrote this poem to speak to its soft but indestructible spirit:
Daily life
Is full of strife
That's why there's lace
To make a case
For wearing stuff
That brings the fluff.
Powerful, I know. It's no secret that the daily grind is -- well, grinding. That's why it's so important to wear things that make us happy. This is probably why there was so much lace back in Victorian times -- to help ladies forget about the pain of wearing bone-crushing corsets. Thankfully, in this enlightened age, we no longer have to wear such abusive undergarments.
Unless you count Spanx.
So . . . never mind. Let lace -- and ruffles and rhinestones and silk flowers and ribbon butterflies -- continue to run interference.
The Spanx will never know what bit them.

Your lace top outfits are so cute and romantic - perfect for approaching Valentine's Day!!! I especially like the Victorian vibes from the first lace blouse you featured. :) I love the cameo appearance of your cactus, or cacti mugs! Beautiful new unicorn necklace and the new chunky statement necklaces you made! The key earrings are incredibly fun. What a cute poem you wrote, and how true that you said "That's why it's so important to wear things that make us happy." YES!!! Cheers to that, and to no longer wearing bone-crushing corsets!
I think lace is your material and all the looks you created with lace are beautiful! Each of the looks you show here confirm your creativity. Thanks a lot for sharing!
