Black & White Lace: From Tops to Flats


Wouldn’t you agree lace is a girl’s best friend? Lace makes everything more beautiful and stylish. I have begun an obsession with lace; I just love it! Lace in every shade of color is by far the edgiest ladylike look for a young woman. First off, I personally like “light” color clothing with the pastels and Easter color theme. I like that natural feeling white lace brings to me, and also how it makes a good day time, Spring/Summer picnic look. I’m usually known to not wear dark colors, but black lace just looks so elegant and edgy for nighttime parties and events. This past year, I purchased a black long sleeve lace top from Forever 21 and I really love it. I’ve received many compliments on my top, which has lace floral designs. I usually wear it over a tank top under obviously, because it is see-through. I would say lace is a definite must-have for a girl who wants to be a trend-setter. Seeing the images below, lace can be worn through the seasons, short tops or long sleeves. I really like both of these tops, but I'd prefer the ivory, white lace because I’m more into the “light, pastel” colors. But that’s just my opinion. What about you? Which do you prefer?

Besides my clear obsession with laced tops, I have a stronger passion for laced flats. I like to think that flats bring on the cuteness and elegance of a young woman. Wearing flats just makes me feel the need to dance around in them, it makes me feel as light as a feather. A few months ago, I bought these pair of black lace flats online and I adore them. Of course, when you wear brand new shoes you must break into them. The first day I wore these, I came prepared and bandaged up my ankle area to prevent any blisters. Now, I wear these flats out every time I’m out. Depending on how I’m feeling, I usually like to wear my black lace top along with these flats to match, or just a plain top or blouse with my black blazer. Anything goes with flats, really, especially skinny dark skins. Similarly, white, ivory lace flats are just as adorable. It reminds me of weddings and how the bride is all dressed in white. Lace is really the fashion trend in style at the moment, and I’d say every girl should own something with lace. So, for you girls out there, try to find some cute, elegant lace wear!

I'm obsessed too! My favorite lace piece in my closet right now is a lace short-sleeve turtleneck. It's perfect for a night out at a nice lounge with my girls, or under my blazer for work.
