          How to Layer with Lace

          February 26, 2017

          On trend or not, lace is appealing as it adds a delicate tonal texture, it’s feminine but also a little edgy if worn in creative ways.  As usual I have been inspired by Pinterest and found ways that I’m planning to wear it. Under or over, you can layer a posh dress with oversized knits and biker jackets or a tailored belted boyfriend jacket, dress up a white shirt and glam up your ankles with a little tease.

          THE INSPIRATION – Boyfriend style blazer, wrapped and belted.

          It may take a little time to experiment finding the right look, but its a great way of wearing a dressy fabric for daytime and getting more wears than just special occasion outings.

          Moving through my forties I've gained confidence to believe in 'style over trends' - quality wins (most of the time) and not to take it all too seriously. A great jacket is always my motto, and I like to play about with old and new and mix in some craft ideas too. I work with lovely clients who want a concise wardrobe or a unique outfit for a special occasion. I hope to inspire you.
