What I’m Wearing: Lace

June 16, 2020 • Leave a Comment

Lace

I like contrast in clothes-hard with soft, fancy with casual, masculine with feminine, which is why I love the look of lace with a leather or jean jacket, combat boots or sneakers. Don’t get me wrong I love wearing heels with lace, but there’s something about the femininity of lace with the toughness of leather or casualness of a jean jacket that, to me, looks so cool.

J-Crew

Here I’m wearing a pair of J. Crew lace pants that are so comfortable. I paired them with a short sleeve bodysuit from H & M, a Kut From The Kloth jean jacket, and a pair of Gucci shoes I’ve had for a while. I’ve also worn these lace pants with a leather jacket and booties, as well as with heels.

Gucci
Loft-skirt

This lace skirt is from Loft and I’m wearing it with a long sleeve shirt from Zara and my trusty Stan Smiths. Sandals or flats also look good with this skirt, as does a short sleeve boxy tee shirt. A jean or leather jacket can also be added.

I have to be honest, I don’t think my name @diar I have to be honest, I don’t think my name @diaryboredhousewife has ever been more appropriate than this past month. I am so bored! But I know it’s better to be bored and healthy!  We’ve been going through firewood like crazy. I love having a fire in the fire place (do does Zeke! @ziggyandzeke). I find it so comforting. Today on the blog I’m sharing what has kept me comforted and entertained (link in bio)  Hope you’re all safe and healthy and are finding great things to do to keep you busy. If you’ve got any good ideas, please share!! 🥰  .  .  .  .  .

There were so many incredible outfits shared on #c There were so many incredible outfits shared on #clothesthatdontboreme so here’s part 2 of the #weeklyroundup  The other day I was talking with @sallysquiggles (who is fabulous & if you don’t follow this sassy lady, you’re missing out!) Anyway, we both agreed that it’s so hard to choose who to include in each roundup as so many wonderful ladies join in & we don’t want to leave anyone out (I feel like it’s the mom in me-I always remember telling my kids to include/invite everyone so no ones feelings get hurt).  So what I’ve been doing is this:  Each week I try to include different ladies. So if I shared your outfit last week you may not be in this week’s roundup, but you could still show up on my stories!  You need to be following me @diaryboredhousewife in order to be included in the weekly roundup.  Ladies, please know that I so appreciate all of you who join in and support the hashtag.
