ROMANTIC LACE

Valentino has been doing it for a few runway shows now: taking the lace to a whole new level and use it beyond our intimates. Think dresses, tops, skirts, whatever you want, you can now add lace to it to make it romantic and cute. If you want to try this trend, look for different texture which creates a balanced look: go for a sexy lace top with jeans or a leather jacket. The trick here is not to overdose because you don’t want to look like your hitting the streets in your pajamas.

Think outside the box and look for that special piece whose pleated make you feel original and comfy.

PLEATS

Stop it right there if you think I’m suggesting a comeback of your old catholic school uniform. I lived that age in my life (for 10 years, to be exact) and I would never do such a thing ever again. In fact, I feel sorry for all the poor girls who still have to pull that off every day to go to classes. What I’m suggesting is a more chic, elegant and pretty way to wear pleated, that is becoming a huge trend since last fall and will conquer your closet next year.

This pleated will not only come on skirts, designers have been experimenting with this texture on tops, dresses, and even pants, to make them into flirty fun pieces that you can wear separately or with easy accessories (like sneakers with a midi skirt). If you’re thinking ahead, an amazing option would be a pleated dress in a jewel color, which will make your next party so much more interesting.
