Lace-d
Sunday, January 09, 2011Today I'm wearing a H&M top with lace sleeves in black, size XS, which I won from Elle @ Fast Food & Fast Fashion (thank you!). The top fits me but is more form-fitting than what I'm used to, especially worn alone (but how else can I show off the pretty lace sleeves?!). So I tried pairing it with a scarf and then with a necklace. I'm thinking I can also wear the top under a vest or a dressy tee (more reasons to go shopping?) Also, check it out on Elle here.
necklace: Simply Vera Vera Wang
scarf: Banana Republic
sash: J.Crew
skirt: J.Crew (currently sold here)
tights: Forever 21
flats: Mossimo

ReplyDeleteThis looks SO good on you, and I think it's really flattering on you (looks so much better on you than on me lol...). The colorful tights are terrific too and you know I love your j. crew sash.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very well put together outfit.
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely, Cee!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! That necklace is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat top looks so good on you! Love how you paired with the sash, skirt, and tights. I think you need to start giving lessons on how you put things together. I wanna know LOL!
ReplyDeletejust lovely! you are so clever with the use of tights!
ReplyDeleteI loove the outfit!
ReplyDeleteReally love the way you styled this!
ReplyDeleteI really like that top you! I think the way you styled it (both scarf and necklace) is perfect. And love that belt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, it looks wonderful tucked into a skirt, very chic.
ReplyDeleteI have the same top :) You look very cute!
ReplyDeletei really like it with the necklace!
ReplyDelete@Shelly - I'm late to the colored tights party, but better late than never, right? ;)
ReplyDelete@Ramsey, @Liz, @Vicky, @Lindsay, @April, @Callandra, @curls-and-pearls, @JenlovesBal, @makeupandpearls - Thank you! :)
@Elle - Oh stop it, girl. You look amazing in the top yourself and you know it!
@SewPetiteGal - You're way too kind :) Would you believe I walk into my closet and start grabbing and wearing things in similar colors? With maybe one or two weird colors thrown in? Cuz really, that's what I do!
@Leena - Still learning my way around them, but it's been a fun journey so far!
@Lilly - Yay for being top twins! Can't wait to see you wearing yours :)
love how you styled the top--especially the burgundy tights;)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with that J Crew skirt! The color and the waist band and the fabric are SO pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnd it goes perfectly with the lace top. I love this outfit SO MUCH!
Love this! xx The lace on the shoulders are perfect!

Oh oh oh oh I am so in love with this outfit! I am sooooooooooooo going to copy it! It's so feminine and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I was kind of hesitant about this lace on the shoulders but you look amazing!
I love the tights! And the belt. And the skirt. And the top. Ahhhh, I love everything! My fav of all your outfits :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colored tights and the outfit with the necklace. The scarf looks a little bulky when paired with the lace top. Perhaps a light patterned silky scarf would do too! What great cutouts in the shoulder...Elle is so kind to send it to you! =)
ReplyDeletei love this outfit! the lace details in the top are absolutely lovely and i like how you paired it with the big necklace to accentuate the girly-ness. and i love how the skirt looks with the sash!

@Tran N., @Lisa, @kileen - Thank you, girls! I honestly didn't expect this kind of reaction, so the feedback is so nice to hear :)
@Really Petite - I wasn't sure about the lace either (my first time wearing them), but now I'm in love :) Copy away!
@Stylepint - Yes! That's the style I'm going to try next. Thanks for the suggestion!
Love the outfit! I have the same shirt.. gonna have to try this look out.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! The top is so flattering on you doesn't look too form-fitting at all! I love the touch of color with your scarf too :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear from you. Constructive criticisms welcome!
