Ace of Lace

lace2

I've just gotta show off this perfect little lace jacket that my sister gave to me for my birthday last month. She found it at an estate sale. It is so delicate, and has a perfect little peter pan collar and a wonderful boxy fit. I'm pretty sure it's from the 60s! I wore this to work a couple of weeks ago and felt super fancy.

I also experimented with dark nail polish. I think it counteracted the sweetness of the lace quite nicely. It's almost edgy - and I say "almost" because I figured out a long time ago that I just can't do edgy at all. Or witchy. Or cool. But I'm fine with girly, sweet, and dorky! Work whatcha got!

  3. Thank you, Amy and Lauren! So sweet of you to say! Lauren, I think I missed that top, unless it was one of those things in your shop that I only had the chance to swoon over briefly before some other girl snapped it up (as is often the case)!
