Lace-d

Sunday, January 09, 2011

Today 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.

sash: J.Crew
tights: Forever 21
flats: Mossimo

  3. This 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.

  13. @Shelly - I'm late to the colored tights party, but better late than never, right? ;)

    @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 :)

  19. I 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! =)

    @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!
