old lace

feeling a little like a ballerina

I’m loving this whimsical feel along with the fullness of this lace skirt. A few years ago a dear friend gave this skirt to me for my birthday, and I had forgotten about it. Funny how even though it is old , I’m pretty certain it will never go out of style. There’s something so timeless about lace, and the way that it made me feel when I wore it first and the way I felt when I rediscovered it in my closet was the exact same- romantic.

    That skirt is gorgeous. I’m with you, I think lace will never go out of style. Though, I do think it will evolve. Our lace is not the same as our grandma’s lace!

  14. Dress it up or down, I think a well made lace skirt will always look appropriate. So feiminine. Gosh, your posture is really good. Did you used to do ballet when you were younger?
