Another alternative as a cover up to THE LACE DRESS, A233180, is the LACE EMB. CARDIGAN, A221793. The off handedness of mixing the two unrelated lace patterns is exactly what makes this CHIC and SOPHISTICATED. There was a time when everything had to be a perfect match…………when the emb. in the black sweater HAD to be the same color as the Bamboo lace…….those days are long gone, and the PERFECT MATCH, in high fashion circles, is considered very dated and not what’s happening……of course that is a matter of opinion……….I will say wearing outfits that look like you put them together, and were not preplanned in a store, does have a certain edge…..a very over used word, but there aren’t any good replacements…..I’ll leave that to the next “Fashion Guru” to come up with one……….This cardigan also gives the whole look a relaxed casual feel…..perfect for a graduation, a wedding shower or even the wedding itself……………The idea is to collect pieces that will give the clothes you already own a “NEW LOOK” a new importance. I want to make it very difficult for you to ever want to part with your LINEAS……………………………enjoy……………muck Love, Louis
Soooo CUTE! I think I like this rendition most, with a jeweled silver or gold metal belt peeping through.
Hello Louis:
Just knew this pairing would reflect my “fearless” style!
The “off” color of the Black cardi’s lace in contrast to the ‘Bamboo’ lace of the dress will create an “Instant Vintage” look.
Belted with ribbons or a pretty “bowed” satin sash for a dressy affair or add a Black leather belt & a favorite cropped Black leather jacket + a sexy pair of pumps to put some edge on my evening…….the Broadtail Faux Fur also comes to mind.
Own tons of Black lace – so the ‘Bamboo’is a must & will make a great addition to my business carry-on!
You continue to keep me enthalled with FASHION.
