Lace Accessories – Yea or Nay?

Lace has an interesting reputation in the fashion world.  It can be demure and feminine, or it can be sexy and very naughty.  It all depends on how it’s used.

And then there are ways that lace should never be used…

I will admit to being entirely sure what Lady Gaga is wearing over her face.  Widow’s veil gone wrong?  Was she attacked by a rogue fascinator?

In any case, lace (when properly used, please and thank you) can make a lovely addition to your accessories wardrobe.

After all, it makes gorgeous shawls:

So don’t be afraid to add a feminine accent to your wardrobe – just make sure that you wear it wisely
