Unless you are embarking on a new career in music, please take the "less is more" approach when coming to lace. Go with one piece and ONE piece only. And remember, it's all in the details. Find a piece that has some lace trim instead of trying to pull off an all over lace tee.
Here are a few recommendations for a tasteful approach to wearing lace.
J. Crew - $52.00
Cute layered under a jacket or cardigan and can be worn alone in the warmer months with capris or shorts.
J. Crew - $58.00
Not all over lace, but lace stripes. AND - stripes are a hot trend this spring!
Collective Concepts - $49
Found on Piperlime.com. Dress it up or down with jeans or a cute pencil skirt.
Daniel Rainn - $74.00
Also found on Piperlime.com.
What NOT to do with Lace.
Victoria's Secret
Don't get me wrong, I do love new bras and underwear from Vickie. However, the skin tight, lacey, micro - mini is for Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton.

Please just keep the tutu's on your daughters.

NO see through lace with your "girls" in plain view. Last time I checked, Carrie Bradshaw pulled that off in Sex and the City and it wasn't cute then either.

I have no comment. If you could see my face, that would be comment enough.
So to recap:
1. Keep it simple
2. It's all in the details
3. Wear ONE piece
4. Layer under jackets or cardigans
5. Try to stay away from skin tight pieces top and bottom
And finally, a complete outfit so you can see it put together.
Jackie,
