..Leopard and Lace

March 19, 2012

 The deets: Ruche lace top; J.Crew pencil skirt; Gap heels; Michael Kors watch; Express blazer; pearls were gift from grandma; Lancome Midnight Rose lips.

Who says you can't be lady like and a wild child all at the same time?  I love this lace top and can't wait to pair it all different ways for spring.  I definitely see brightly pleated skirts in my future...and maybe a fancy high tea date?  A girlfriend of mine keeps suggesting we do it and now I'm thinking I've got just the right outfit for it.  I am feeling better, back at work, and the sun is shining.  Things are looking up!

  40. Glad I've discovered your blog, Erin! You look lovely here. I thought that lace and leopard were two polar opposites (unless the lace was black and perhaps embroidered with pearls or sequins), but you definitely make it work for the day! And your hair looks splendid!
