Looking for Lace?

by

Prada has made lace hot for fall. Here are two non-Prada-priced options that caught my eye.

Kova & T’s lace skirt is on sale for $63.99, down from $215, at Intuition. Size Large only. Intuition says, “Please note that garment is unlined & meant to be worn over opaque tights, leggings, or a slip. “


Nine West’s Iam lace bootie is $109 and available for pre-order. It ships October 13.

  1. It’s kind of amazing how similar these 2 lace patterns are. I think the skirt would be great with a pinky nude short slip underneath – maybe 1-2 inches shorter than the skirt itself… I think those shoes would be challenging to wear. Maybe I’m just not being creative, but what would you pair them with?

  2. Egads, how beautiful, especially the skirt! However, as much as I love lace, I think that it’ll be so ubiquitous this fall that I won’t want to wear it as much. Great eye though!

  3. oh.. they are very sexy.. I just don’t have kind of personality to wear them tho. 🙂

    as for the colourful pants.. the blue one does pop. I’m thinking of wearing them for the fashion festival. Instead of trying to outdo local ritzy fashionistas I’ll go with ‘pop’ and white tee or something. What do you reckon?

  4. Ooo I knew lace was going to be big this fall, and I can’t believe I passed on a vest with a black lace backing at the thrift store! Anyways, I found THE best band jacket ever! I will post about it soon.

  5. I don’t know if I can deal with so much lace personally. Already I am seeing myself running into things and tearing the delicate lace work. : )

  6. K.Line, we’ll see when they get here 😉 Probably a whole lotta black, my solution for everything.
    TINE, I’m pleased you finally found the jacket of your dreams. Can’t wait to see it.

  7. That black skirt is great, but it scares me because we’re coming into spring here, but there’ll be girls around who wear that skirt (or knock-offs thereof) without the tights underneath. Eek!

  9. My mom had a lace skirt tailor made a couple of days ago and that has completely sparked my love for lace! And that skirt is so beautiful, can I have it? :))

  11. I’m so in love with lace. I used to think that lace clothes were for that elder aunts to wear in weddings, but now I’m seeing it with other eyes.
    However I’m not brave enought to wear these pieces, or at least the skirt without another one under it.

  14. Wendy, love love love the lace thing!!!! I wish I could buy one of the new Prada dresses; surely someone must be knocking them off! Karen

  15. I love the booties but the skirt seems a little bit risky to me… 🙂
