Bibbed Lace

September 10th, 2012

Elizabeth and James Glasses, Club Monaco Blouse, J.Crew Skirt & Belt, Miu Miu Pumps, Vintage Bag

I spend a fair amount of time doing online research (otherwise known as shopping) and know firsthand just how easy it is to become mesmerized by a certain piece through the computer screen. Sometimes it’s more about how an item’s modeled, styled, or retouched – and in person it doesn’t live up to its online hype. That was pretty much the opposite with this particular blouse. The black scalloped lace delicately wraps around the entire shirt and I love the little buttons down the back. Needless to say, this one exceeded my expectations.

    I’m glad the scalloped top was a good buy, i hate being disappointed with clothes that don’t live up to their expectations. I love your hair in this outfit, and the pink skirt is a great touch.

    The blouse is really amazing, I love it. And have to say it looks much better “live” (on you) than on the CM website. Great find! I’m usually terrible with seeing “beyond” the hanger.
