Is there anything more ladylike and feminine than lace? Besides a great set of pearls, I’d say no. Wearing lace just brings out my inner girly girl. (Who are we kidding? She was never in hiding, right?)
Outfit me in a little lace and suddenly I want to be over-the-top feminine! I just can’t help but reach for classic, girly accessories. Layered pearls, a lace-inspired bracelet, and pale pink heels definitely fit the bill. But don’t even think about pairing this top with a skirt. I just can’t imagine hiding the gorgeous scalloped hem!
One of these days I’ll work on pairing this top with some edgier details, but for now I’m loving my lace and pearls!
Top: J.Crew Factory Raindrop (similar), Pants: Gap Skinny Mini Skimmer, Shoes: J.Crew Viv Flat, Necklace: Stella & Dot Lucia Bib, Bracelet: Unknown, Earrings: J.Crew Factory Fireball Stud

You look gorgeous (as usual)! I love the simplicity of a lace blouse. It’s such a simple piece, but it goes amazing with anything. I have been wearing mine way too much lately!
Love the bracelet and the blush heels, compliments the heels beautifully.

your lace top is super pretty! i love the scalloped edges and the pairing with the pearls.
I love scallop hems and anything girly! To edge it up, you should definitely add in some leather (maybe a fit n flare skirt?)
